Ogni vento from the opera Agrippina, HWV 6

Ogni vento ch’al porto lo spinga
ben che fiero minacci tempeste,
l’ampie vele gli spande il nocchier.
 
Regni il figlio, mia sola lusinga,
sian le stelle in aspetto funeste,
senza pena le guarda il pensier.
 
Whatever wind blow him to port,
no matter how fiercely threaten the tempest,
the mariner spreads wide his sails.
 
If my son reign, my one hope,
let the stars show however dismal an aspect,
yet will I look on unconcerned.
 
Handel’s first Agrippina was the great Italian soprano Margherita Durastanti (active 1700–1734). This recital disc is to devoted to arias written for her:
