Glass Shatterers! Edda Moser - Mozart: APOLLO ET HYACINTHUS, High F

Singer: Edda Moser

~The "Glass Shatterers!" series focuses on sopranos who sustain High F, or sing higher.

THE MUSIC: Mozart wrote the opera Apollo et Hyacinthus (K.38) when he was 11 years old. This is Hyacinthus's first aria "Saepe terrent Numina" sung here in a German version by the legendary dramatic coloratura Edda Moser. It's a very long aria in full, so I've only included the final section, starting with a cadenza to a High D that leads into the da capo repeat with a sustained High F.

Mathieu Lange, conductor
Berlin, ca. 1980

Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

HYACINTHUS
Sæpe terrent Numina,
Surgunt, et minantur,
Fingunt bella, quæ nos angunt,
Mittunt tela, quæ non tangunt,
At post ficta nubila
Rident et iocantur.
Et amore
Et tremore
Gentes stringunt subditas:
Nunc amando,
Nunc minando,
Salva stat auctoritas.
