…/pur ti stringo, pur t’annodo / più non peno, più non moro/. It’s time to listen something else, my Love…a love song, interpreted by Philippe Jaroussky and Marie-Nicole Lemieux, regarded as one of the most beautiful love duets in all of opera …it is the final love duet between Poppea and Nero/ Nerone in Monteverdi’s opera ‘L’incoronazzione di Poppea’. Someone described it as “an extraordinary depiction of lovemaking”, “one of opera’s most intimate and blissful expressions of romantic love”…it had been banned for being too erotic…From min 5.10 they sing ‘Lagrimosa Belta’ – a serious song “in a not so serious” but lovely interpretation.
