Antonio Caldara "Soffri mio caro Alcino" Gérard Lesne.
Antonio Caldara "Soffri mio caro Alcino" I decided to do a series of videos with the material that I don't have the scores. I have been waiting patiently one day to find them. But it seems that these cantatas /arias that I want to upload are not interesting enough for score publishers that I cannot even find an expensive copy of them.. They just won't publish these scores.. Forget the scores most of the time I cannot even get the lyrics/translations. Oh well... Here I go, doing one-slide silly videos with great music. Unfortunately, this is one of those pieces I cannot find any info on, no matter what I do.. All I know is it was composed by one of my favorite composers Caldara. THe other thing that I kind of realized myself is that Handel used the same text (at least part of it) in his Cantata "Dolc'e pur d'amor l'affanno", which is also the 2nd movement of this Caldara cantata. I tried to at least get the lyrics but cannot even find that much. I am not gonna try and guess with my non-existent Italian, so again I appeal to those who speak/know Italian to provide the lyrics. If possible, I would appreciate the translation as well.. Thanks a lot in advance. UPDATE: Thanks to MehdiCaps, I can post the lyrics and the translation for the 2nd mvt. aria "Dolc'e pur d'amor l'affanno": Original: Dolc'è pur d'amor l'affanno se, compagno del tormento, il contento viene ancor. Se le pene insieme vanno con la speme e con l'affetto, il diletto è poi maggior. Translation: The anxiety of love is sweet if, paired with torment, pleasure is also there. If pain comes together with hope and affection, the joy is greater.
