Lucia di Lammermoor: "Chi mi frena in tal momento?"

(29 November 1797 – 8 April 1848) was a famous Italian opera composer. His most famous work is Lucia di Lammermoor (1835). Along with Vincenzo Bellini and Gioacchino Rossini, he was a leading composer of bel canto opera.
Donizetti composed about 75 operas, 16 symphonies, 19 string quartets, 193 songs, 45 duets, 3 oratorios, 28 cantatas, instrumental concertos, sonatas, and other chamber pieces.
He was born in Bergamo into a very poor family with no tradition of music, but in 1806 he was one of the first pupils to be enrolled in a charity school at Bergamo founded by Simon Mayr.
Donizetti is best known for his operatic works, but he also wrote music in a number of other forms, including some church music, a number of string quartets, and some orchestral works.
He is also the younger brother of Giuseppe Donizetti, who had become, in 1828, Instructor General of the Imperial Ottoman Music at the court of Sultan Mahmud II (1808-1839).
Donizetti's vocal style enriched the Bel Canto tradition which Rossini and Bellini had made popular. These three composers are generally accepted as the primary exemplars of early 19th century Bel Canto writing.

EDGARDO
Chi mi frena in tal momento? ...
Chi troncò dell' ira il corso?
Il suo duolo, il suo spavento
So la prova d'un rimorso!
Ma, qual rosa inaridita,
Ella sta fra morte e vita!
Io son vinto ... son commosso ...
T' amo, ingrata, t' amo ancor!
@LaPenserosa1
The first man who enters is Edgardo, he's in love with Lucia (the one
who faints at the end). The man who resembles Snape is her brother and
is forcing her to marry the young man she's sitting next to. Edgardo
begins by singing, 'who restrains me at such a moment?' Basically he's
arrived to find the woman he loves and intends to marry, married to
someone else. He thinks Lucia is willing but she isn't so their
individual melodies and lyrics reflect that. Lucia is lamenting her
marriage and wishing to die. Edgardo is angry and betrayed, wondering
why she would do this to him. The brother is singing about his
fulfillment at seeing the marriage he arranged come to pass. It ends
with Edgardo confronting the brother and Lucia and Lucia succumbing to
her sorrow. I wont tell you what happens in the next act but the ink is
some foreshadowing. :D I hope you get a chance to see the full opera
some time - it's amazing! It's too bad this cast isn't on DVD because
their the ones that did the Met simulcast a few years back and it was
brilliant! Cheers!
@noelpatrick9465
Sheer perfection. The balance between tenor, baritone & soprano is fantastic. Calleja, Tesier and Dessay all excelling individually and together, will not be surpassed for a long time.
@jordanjames3937
I thought the same thing... How hard to Balance 6 Voices with what I like to call "Donizetti's Drunken Orchestra", and pull of the stage blocking.... utter perfection...
@draganatanasov2503
I don't know what you're talking about. Calleja is a voice completely devoid of any actual voice. The guy sings into the falsetto passage most of the time, and has no substance. I don't know how opera got to this. In the golden age of opera most of these singers would have cut the tickets.
@MLewis6270
Interesting. I was a huge fan of Dessay, and am a huge fan of Calleja. So I really liked this performance. But, a number of commenters seem to dislike the staging of the photograph. Apparently, they prefer the older style of having the singer stand and sing to the audience without the stage business in this performance. I am a long time opera fan, back into the time before appearance and acting was so important. Then just the voice was the thing. I prefer a good or great voice paired with good acting (and appearance if possible). Makes for a total theatrical/musical experience. I can listen to recordings of singers if I just want the voice. The staging of the photograph gives an opportunity to portray the additional context to Lucia's unhappiness and the awkwardness of the whole marriage. I think that adds to the poignancy of the music and lyrics. Just my opinion for what its worth. Bravo.
@ceesmulder5723
Beautifully sung. All voices can be heard.
In addition, I love the photographer “building” the scene…

I've heard this very oft repeated rumour about the Met. Is there any actual proof that this practice happens there? I know it's a gargantuan hall, but then so is Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires and it regularly merits the top ten theatres in the world for acoustic performance.
@draganatanasov2503
All voices can be heard? You listen to what happens when some of the other singers start singing forte, whether you can hear Joseph at all.
