Simon Keenlyside sings the aria Pietà, rispetto, amore from Verdi's Macbeth at the Ioan Holender tribute concert with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, under the conduction of Guillermo García Calvo on June 26th 2010 at the Vienna State Opera.
MACBETH
Pietà , rispetto, amore,
Conforto a'dì cadenti,
Ah! non spargeran d'un fiore
La tua canuta età .
Nè sul tuo regio sasso
Sperar soavi accent;
Ah! sol la bestemmia, ahi lasso!
La nenia tua sarà .
MACBETH
Mercy, respect, love,
the comfort of declining years,
these will place no flowers
on your old age.
Nor should you hope
for kind words on your royal tomb:
only curses, alas,
will be your funeral hymn.
