My favorite performance of this song. Perfect voice for this piece, wonderful pacing.

I've listened to so many people singing these 'aria antiche' today on you tube and this is by far streets ahead of all I have listened to. Phrasing is beautiful and in the Bel Canto style with solid appoggio breathing. A pleasure to listen to.

still the best rendition of this song I've ever heard. I need to hear a studio version

Thank you for your wonderful comment. God Bless

I’m doing this song for contest tomorrow and this really helped me understand how flawless this song can sound

You deserve all the standing ovations for this!!! Truly incredible performance,thank you for sharing your amazing gift with the world.

THANK YOU!!!! This version opens the ear to the possibilities for this gorgeous aria. Your version is the best I've heard, and your technique is flawless and shows the ease with which singing can be delivered, and it's truly transcendent. I'll be using it as an example for my voice students.

That was SOOOO amazingly beautiful and inspiring, considering most African Americans don't sing classical music. You make it look so easy. You have to give us more.

O cessate di piagarmi, O lasciatemi morir. Luc'ingrate, dispietate, Più del gelo E più del marmi Fredde e sorde a' miei martir.

It was truly lovely and sounded effortless, the way it should. However, we know how much hard work goes into singing sooo beautifully! Great job!

This is how I learned it and how its supposed to sound, soo good!

Magnifique! Très jolie voix, et beaucoup de style! Brava. Marcel, Canada

O cessate di piagarmi O lasciatemi morir O lasciatemi morir Luci ingrate, dispietate Luci ingrate, dispietate Più del gelo e più dei marmi Fredde e sorde a' miei martir Fredde e sorde a' miei martir O cessate di piagarmi O lasciatemi morir, o lasciatemi morir O cessate di piagarmi O lasciatemi morir

isn't there 2 verses to this song? I wonder why she only sang the 1st verse twice..

I prefer your version - sung with real emotion

👏👏👏👏💓

Супер

Very beautiful version. I have made an original piano reinterpretation of this aria

Hey Edwardanbella4ever1, I need to know were to find the lower version (the alto version) for this song, caro mio ben and sebben crudele ...could you please help me with this. I was thinking that maybe you knew a web site or something . Pleaseeeeeeee! thank you ! Love Daniela

O cessate di piagarmi, o lasciatemi morir, o lasciatemi morir. Luc'ingrate, dispietate, luc'ingrate, dispietate, più del gelo e più del marmi Fredde e sorde a' miei martir, fredde e sorde a' miei martir. O cessate di piagarmi, o lasciatemi morir, o lasciatemi morir.

Waw

Wow who did you take voice lessons from and where?

O cessate di piagarmi - English translation O stop wounding me, O leave me to die! eyes so ungrateful, merciless, more than ice and more than marble cold and deaf to my sufferings! and you enjoy my fainting. More than a snake, more than an asp, cruel and unhearing to my sighs, eyes so proud, unseeing and ferocious, you have power to make me well again, and you enjoy my fainting.

im singing this in singing any advice?

@neetrab yes there is O cessate di piagarmi - - O cessate di piagarmi, O lasciatemi morir! Luc’ ingrate, Dispietate, Più del gelo e più del marmi Fredde e sorde a’ miei martir. Più d'un angue, più d'un aspe crudi e sordi a' miei sospir, occhi alteri, ciechi e fieri, voi potete risanarmi, e godete al mio languir.

@ioanarocksyou so how did it go??

Haven't you been scouted, or been on a reality tv show?

You should always take slow deep breaths right before any performance releasing the air slowly to slow down the heart rate. Also try the Alexander Technique which can be found on the internet a location near you. God Bless

ohhh I see...thax anyway !

@sweb74 - haha! Yea I already know the second verse... I didn't mean for you to copy it down on here... thanks anyway.

Great! The only thing I would change would be correcting your pronunciation of the first syllable of piagarmi -- it's not pee-garmee, it's pyah-garmee, as if the "i" does not even exist. Think of the Italian word "pieta" for instance -- one does not prounounce the "i"; it only acts as a "y" sound. Hope that helps and keep up the lovely work!

Nice, but would like some ornamentation.

Madam, it's "piAgarmi", non "piEgarmi". It has got a totally different meaning.

zzz zzz zzz zzz!!! *_*

very nice, I didn't know this singer; what a pity, she mistakes the pronounciation of the word PIAGARMI: she says PIEGARMI! In Italian, "deh, cessate di piagarmi" means "please, cease/stop wounding me!"; but What she says means: "stop folding/bending me" It's a bit ridiculous, what a pity.

Thank you.
