Summary:
For Elvira, the heroine of Verdi's rousing early opera, it's a classic example of too much of a good thing--love, in this case. She's passionately involved with the handsome bandit Ernani (actually an aristocrat), who returns her affections. But the king of Spain also wants her, as does her elderly guardian. When it comes to great singing, however, there is no such thing as too much. The legendary pairing of Leontyne Price and Franco Corelli, at their thrilling, impassioned best, was an operatic match made in heaven. They star opposite Verdi baritone Cornell MacNeil and refulgent bass Giorgio Tozzi. The brilliant Thomas Schippers presides in the pit.
Contents:
Preludio
Evviva! beviam!
Mercè, diletti amici ; Come rugiada al cespite
Dell'esilio nel dolore ; Oh tu che l'alma adora
Surta è la notte ; Ernani! Ernani involami
Tutto sprezzo che d'Ernani
Fa che a me venga
Da quel di che t'ho veduta
Non t'ascolto, mia sarai
Che mai vegg'io! Infelice! e tuo credevi
L'offeso onor, signor
Uscite
Tua per sempre, o questo ferro
Mio signor, dolente io sono ; Io tuo fido?
Esultiamo! Letizia ne inondi!
Jago, qui tosto il pellegrin adduci
Oro, quant'oro ogn'avido
In queste mura ogn'ospite ; Tu, perfida! Ah morir potessi adesso!
Scellerati, il mio furore
Cugino, a che munito il tuo castel ritrovo?
Lo vedremo, veglio audace
Fu esplorata del castello ; Vieni meco, sol di rose
Vigili pure il ciel sempre su te
Ecco il pegno
Preludio: È questo il loco? Gran Dio! Costor sui sepolcrali marmi
Oh de'verd'anni miei
Ad augusta! Un patto! Un giuramento!
Qual rumore!! Che sarà!! - Io son conte
Oh sommo Carlo, più del tuo nome
Oh come felici gioiscon gli sposi!
Cessaro i suoni, disparì ogni face
Ecco il pegno ; Solingo, errante, misero
Ferma, crudele, estinguere
Se uno squillo intenderà.
