Lauretta - Angela Gheorghiu
ITALIAN:
O mio babbino caro
Mi piace, è bello, bello
Vo’ andare in Porta Rossa
A comperar l’anello!
Sì, sì, ci voglio andare!
E se l’amassi indarno,
Andrei sul Ponte Vecchio,
Ma per buttarmi in Arno!
Mi struggo e mi tormento!
O Dio, vorrei morir!
Babbo, pietà, pietà!
Babbo, pietà, pietà!
ENGLISH:
Oh my dear papa
I like him, he is so handsome.
I want to go to Porta Rossa
To buy the ring!
Yes, yes, I want to go there!
And if my love were in vain,
I would go to the Ponte Vecchio
And throw myself in the Arno!
I am pining, I am tormented!
Oh God, I would want to die!
Father, have pity, have pity!
Father, have pity, have pity!

Pierre Boulez - Structures Livre 2, for two pianos (1956/61)
Performed by Pierre Boulez and Yvonne Loriod
Chapitre 1 - 0:00
Chapitre 2 - 8:53
Structures I (1952) and Structures II (1961) are two related works for two pianos, composed by the French composer Pierre Boulez. The first of the second book's two "chapters" was composed in 1956, but chapter 2 was not written until 1961. The second chapter includes three sets of variable elements, which are to be arranged to make a performing version. A partial premiere of book 2 was performed by the composer and Yvonne Loriod at the Wigmore Hall, London, in March 1957. This was Boulez's first appearance in the UK as a performer. The same performers gave the premiere of the complete second book, with two different versions of chapter 2, in a chamber-music concert of the Donaueschinger Musiktage on Saturday, 21 October 1961. The first version is used in this video.

Richard Strauss - Love Scene from opera 'Feuersnot', Op. 50 (1901)
Staatskapelle Dresden
Conductor - Giuseppe Sinopoli
"The Love Scene is the culmination of the opera. Rather than a mystical Wagnerian “redemption through love” à la Tristan und Isolde, it expresses a very Straussian—and, seen with today’s eyes, slightly disturbing — “redemption through sex.” It begins immediately after the townspeople have gathered eagerly to watch Diemut’s window, hoping to get their fire back. In the score, one reads: “It is pitch black. Through Diemut’s window a faint, ghostly flicker can be seen.” Depicting the couple’s feverish passion, the orchestra gains momentum as displayed by the score indications: “very solemnly,” “animated,” “expressive,” “more passionate,” “very agitated,” “very passionately moving,” “very passionate,” “increasingly animated.” As the music finally reaches its climax, a short pause; the score indicates, “At that moment, all the fires (the pyre in front of the gate, the citizens’ lanterns, the torches of the armed men, the lights in the houses) blaze up at once. The people greet the regained light with shouts of joy.” The orchestra resumes, fortissimo, and Richard Strauss, the magician of sound, can once again display his symphonic panache." - https://www.bso.org/works/love-scene-from-feuersnot

Boris Tishchenko - Symphony No. 6, for Soprano, Contralto and Symphony Orchestra, Op.105 (1989)
Dedicated to the memory of E. A. Mravinsky
Soprano - Valentina Yuzvenko
Contralto - Elena Rubin
USSR Ministry of Culture Symphony Orchestra
Conductor - Gennady Rozhdestvensky
Recorded Live at the Grand Hall of the Leningrad Philharmonic, Leningrad, USSR, 27 April 1989
1. Sentimental March (Anatoly Naiman) - 0:00
2. Echo (Anna Akhmatova) - 26:49
3. I Am (Marina Tsvetaeva) - 32:24
4. Age-Haunted (Osip Mandelshtam) - 37:46
5. One Of My Mind (Vladimir Levinzon) - 45:36
The first of the five movements lasts more than the other four put together. It is a grand, plungingly histrionic and thunderous statement with a sense of gritty victory won at terrible cost. Soprano Yuzvenko contests with an orchestral canvas that delivers great salvos and groaning protests as well as rich undulant swathes of sound and shimmering tremors. Towards the end of the movement the voice of Elena Rubin can be heard unaccompanied and distant in dialogue with Yuzvenko. There is even a whispered choral section. This is a dazzling movement full of strange landscapes and constant engagement of head and heart. In the last four minutes it all takes surreal and even operatic flight in the hands of orchestra and Yuzvenko. Then come four short movements. The composer has worked with the words of Anna Akhmatova for many years and turns to her again in setting the poem Echo. It is grim and taciturn and - like all of this music - of indomitable strength. The words are nicely differentiated by the alto. Next comes a setting of Marina Svetaeva's I am just your dream bringing us back to the now rested soprano. The poetry is enigmatic but is lit with a subtext of bitter protest which in its crashing outrage recalls Shostakovich. The fourth movement is a setting of Age-haunted by Osip Mandelshtam. This moves with a slower burning flame than its predecessor but it too is grandiloquently scored and scarred by tragedy. The finale sets words by Vladimir Levinzon. Its progress patters and moves forward with a discreet determined lame-legged ostinato. Yet it manages to meld the elements of a waltz as the voices of the two women entwine. The poem suggests precious consolation in the confiding but not quiet words Are you still alive? / I'm still alive .... Are you still here .... I am.

Edgard Varèse - Amériques, for orchestra (1929), revised and edited by Chou Wen-Chung
Seattle Symphony Orchestra
Conductor - Ludovic Morlot
Amériques is an orchestral composition by Edgard Varèse, scored for a very large, romantic orchestra with additional percussion (for eleven performers) including sirens. Written between 1918 and 1921 and revised in 1927, it was the first work Varèse composed after he moved to the United States. Although it was not his first work, he destroyed many of his earlier pieces, effectively making Amériques his opus one (although he never used that designation).
The work is in one movement which lasts around 23 minutes, with full orchestral involvement almost throughout. Although it opens quietly, with "Debussy-like musing", it quickly builds in dynamic power and is punctuated by massive crescendos which are similar in style to those found in Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring but on a much larger scale. The work is marked by its fiercely dissonant chords and rhythmically complex polyphonies for percussion and winds. It develops in continuous evolution with recurring short motifs, which are juxtaposed without development.
Structurally, the work is assembled by placing a number of self-contained 'blocks' of music against one another in the manner of Stravinsky. The blocks are marked primarily by texture and timbre with melody and rhythm being much more malleable. This remained common practice for Varèse throughout his career. A number of these blocks are built out of direct quotations from other works, including the Peripetie from Arnold Schoenberg's Fünf Orchesterstücke Op. 16, the first movement of Gustav Mahler's Third Symphony, and Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, along with references to the big band sound of the 1920s.
Commentary on Amériques has focused on its elemental power, and its vivid representation of New York City, not failing to incorporate its howling police car sirens. Varèse used the sirens for structural importance, as representations of a continuum pitch beyond twelve-tone equal temperament. Varèse intended the title Amériques to symbolize "discoveries – new worlds on earth, in the sky, or in the minds of men."
