A beautiful baroque aria.
This is a beautiful contralto aria from the opera "Farnace" by Antonio Vivaldi, the Red Priest. It had it premiere in 1727 in Venice.The role of Tamiri who is sings this aria was playing by Anna Giro, Vivaldi's protegee, friend and companion.
Beautiful! Thanks for uploading this lovely music!
