Text:
Se l'aura spira tutta vezzosa,
la fresca rosa ridente sta,
la siepe ombrosa di bei smeraldi
d'estivi caldi timor non ha.
A balli, a balli, liete venite,
ninfe gradite, fior di beltà.
Or, che sì chiaro il vago fonte
dall'alto monte al mar s'en va.
Suoi dolci versi spiega l'augello,
e l'arboscello fiorito sta.
Un volto bello al l'ombra accanto
sol si dia vanto d'haver pieta.
Al canto, al canto, ninfe ridenti,
Scacciate i venti di crudeltà.

Divine ... what beautiful honest delightful musicianship ...

[@jennytribe570]

Heart-felt, and such free playing, and in addition a wonderful realisation of the continuo.

[@moragjohnston6112]

this is just stunning and so moving. What a great team of musicians and I love the funky modern venue! Also, the ornaments are lyrical, too!

I was expecting an aural treat, but what a bonus to watch that fluid slide control, like a dancer.

This is so glorious, it brought me to tears. If I lived to be 500 I’d still never play like you, but I am going to keep on trying.
Thank you Emily, Lynda and Peter.
