Georg Friedrich Händel - LASCIA CH’IO PIANGA (Rinaldo), Organ Solo
Roberto Bertero at the organ of Turin’s Santuario della Consolata (Church of the Virgin of the Consolation).
Finding ourselves in Holy Week, this video will feature “Lascia ch’io pianga”, a famous aria for soprano composed by Georg Friedrich Händel.
After previous uses in other operas composed by him, Händel reused this aria in the second act of Rinaldo, with a new text, entrusting it to the character of Almirena while addressing to his jailer Argante.
Rinaldo was a great success for Händel, so the aria is commonly associated with that opera and is mainly known in its form in the latter.
The aria in Rinaldo is written in F major, in the sarabande rhythm with a meter of 3/2 and a Largo pace indication. The instrumentation includes violins I and II, viola and continuous bass.
The aria has established itself as a concert piece, performed and recorded by many great artists and has been included in the soundtrack of various films.
The version recorded here is my organ arrangement which seems relevant to me to present on Holy Saturday in order to underline the importance of sadness in our lives, especially in a society that no longer wants to face suffering and sacrifice.
It is only through fully experienced pain that joy can acquire a complete meaning!
Welcome to this YouTube channel aimed at providing some quality online documentation concerning the “Camillo Guglielmo Bianchi“ organ located in the Consolata Sanctuary, Turin (Italy).
Audio or audio-video file will be regularly uploaded, all recorded LIVE.
The sound will be captured with Zoom H5 audio recorder (96kHz / 24bit), while footage will be filmed with Canon EOS 5D Mark IV.
The intent is to create a database of the musical literature performed by me, titular organist in this prestigious sanctuary, right during the religious services along the Liturgical Year or during the organ auditions, between one Mass and another.
