Summary:
Few roles captured the artistry of the great Luciano Pavarotti as completely as the loveable, simple farmer Nemorino. This is the first time the tenor starred in a broadcast of L'elisir from the Met, and it shows just why he, his incomparable voice, and his charm were embraced by the entire world. It's also no wonder that Adina (a sparkling Judith Blegen) finally admits she returns his love. John Reardon is the dashing Sergeant Belcore who momentarily throws a wrench into things, but with some help from Ezio Flagello (Dr. Dulcamara) everything turns out as it should.
Contents:
Preludio (Prelude)
Bel conforto al mietitore
Quanto è bella, quanto è cara!
Benedette queste carte!
Della crudele Isotta
Marziale
Come Paride vezzoso
Or se m'ami, come io t'amo
Intanto, o mia ragazza
Una parola, o Adina
Chiedi all'aura lusingheira
Che vuol dire codesta suonata?
Udite, udite, o rustici
Ardir! Ha forse il cielo mandato
Voglio dire, lo stupendo elisir
Caro elisir! Sei moi!
Esulti pur la barbara
Tran, tran, tran. In guerra ed in amor
Signor sargente, di voi richiede la vostra gente
Adina credimi, te ne scongiuro
Andiam, Belcore
Cantiamo, facciam brindisi
Piochè cantar vi alletta
Io son ricco e tu sei bella-Silenzio! È qua il Notaro
Le feste nuziali
La donna è un animale stravagante - Venti scudi!
Ai perigli, della guerra
Qua la mano, giovinotto
Saria possibile
Dell'elisir mirabile
Io già m'immagino che cosa brami
Come sen va contento!
Quanto amore! Ed io, speitata!
Una furtiva lagrima
Eccola. Oh! Qual le accresce beltà
Prendi, per me sei libero
Alto! fronte!
Ei corregge ogni difetto.
