Ponchielli - La Gioconda / Suicido

Rosa Ponselle (1897-1981)

Lyric:

Suicidio!... -In questi fieri momenti

tu sol mi resti,e il cor mi tenti.

Ultima voce del mio destino,

ultima croce del mio cammin.

E un dě leggiadre volavan l'ore,

perdei la madre, perdei l'amore,

vinsi l'infausta gelosa febre!

or piombo esausta fra le tenebre!

Tocco alla méta...domando al cielo

di dormir queta dentro l'avel...

-------

Öngyilkosság

E kegyetlen pillanatban,

csak te maradsz nekem, s kísérted szívem.

Végzetem utolsó szava ez,

utolsó kereszt az utamon.

Hajdan vidáman repültek az órák. -

Elvesztettem anyámat, szerelmemet,

legyőztem a féltékenység szerencsétlen lázát,

s most kimerülten zuhanok a sötétségbe.

Célhoz értem s könyörgök az éghez,

hogy nyugodtan alhassam a sírban.

Könyörgök az éghez stb.

Célhoz értem

A truly magnificent performance. I only wish I had been able to hear her live in concert when she was at her peak.

Grazie infinite. Meraviglia per questo canto, come la rosa è il fiore più bello che la natura ci ha dato così Rosa è la voce più bella che la lirica ci ha regalato. Sarà sempre insuperabile.

Ponselle,de fapt Rosa Pozilio,o superba voce a operei,poate cea mai mare si cea splendida voce de Bel canto.Eu o apreciez pe Callas f.f. mult.,dar nu pot sa nu admit ca Ponselle (Ponzilio) a fost o grandissima .O voce care nu se uita niciodata de cei care o vor asculta

Thanks so much for publishing a translation! My Italian isn't good enough to catch all of the words.

NOT ENOUGH VIEWS The younger generation needs to understand what singing used to be

I don't think I've ever heard a purer voice. Crystal, no diamond, perfection.

Gorgeous lower-middle register. The epitome of a dramatic soprano.

Opera nobility

I was a good friend of pianist William Yanuzzi, who spent years with Rosa Ponselle. He would go to her Villa Pace and be available, should she feel like singing. He claimed she never lost her voice, but grew fearful of high tones in later years. The great soprano had such a thick, rich middle voice, but tried to carry that sound above the staff, which doesn't work for any soprano. It was the undoing for Tebaldi and Callas as well. But here, Ponselle still trusted her high tones and had it all.

Meravigliosa ! Ponselle,without any doubt,was one of the finest Italian sopranos of any era. During that period,only the great Claudia Muzio was in her class. Mille grazie for sharing this superb piece with us.And what a marvelous lower register she had. Wow !
