******
Qui ti sfido o Mostro infame
Vieni pur che non pavento
La tua rabbia, il tuo furor.
Caderai; mà se foss`io
Dato in preda alle tue brame
Perche già non è più mio,
Lascia almento intatto il cor.
******
Thy Fury, Monster, I defie,
And feraless meet thy foaming Rage,
Assur`d thou by this Arm shalt die
When we in fight eengage;
But shou`d the Victory be thine,
And o`er my Body thou have Pow`r,
What ever Parts thou dost devour
Ah! save the Heart, for `tis not mine.

I'm not convinced by the da capo but as usual she is one of the bests

[@ivogianfranco1633]

I almost couldn´t believe that this is Curtis and his ensemble. I was never a big fan of their performances/recordings, they were often bloodless with ocassional weird tempo choices, but wow, this is really very good! and Hallenberg excellent as always;)
