![]() | Hidden treasures - Michael Balfe - Cantata for Maria Malibran (1836) - "Sempre pensoso" Painting: "A melancholic thought" by Francesco Hayez. History: Few composers have had the luck to work continuously with the best opera singers of his or her age. Michael Balfe who could boast having known personally and worked extensively with the celebrated "I puritani" quartet - Giulia Grisi, Giovanni Rubini, Antonio Tamburini and Luigi Lablache - was, perhaps, one of the most happy exceptions. However, it was the composer's relationship with the famed mezzo-soprano, Maria Malibran, that proved to be great importance to Balfe's career. The connection was established in 1834, when the composer made his singing debut in Milan and Venice, appearing together with Malibran in Rossini's "Otello" and "Il barbiere di Siviglia", as well as Bellini's "La sonnambula". Malibran was one of the first to recognize Balfe's emerging compositional talents and provided him with more than ample advice and encouragement, nicknaming him the "English Rossini". To repay her, Balfe committed to write an opera for the primadonna, however, the pair decided to postpone the project until 1836, and on Malibran's advice Balfe returned to London (the singer recommended her protege to the impresario and playwright, Alfred Bunn). Shortly after his return, Balfe completed his first opera for London, "The siege of Rochelle", the premiere of which was a triumph. His initial success was quickly followed by another opera, "The Maid of Artois", which was tailored especially to Malibran's talents. The work's ... 2010年02月04日再生回数 7096 |

Lyrics: I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls With vassals and serfs at my side. And of all who assembled within those walls That I was the hope and the pride.

But I also dreamt, which pleased me most That you lov'd me still the same, That you lov'd me, you lov'd me still the same, That you lov'd me, You loved me still the same. I dreamt that suitors sought my hand. That knights upon bended knee, And with vows no maiden's heart could withstand, They pledg'd their faith to me. And I dreamt that one of that noble host Came forth my hand to claim. But I also dreamt, which charmed me most That you lov'd me still the same, That you lov'd me, you lov'd me still the same, That you lov'd me, you loved me still the same... 2011年09月28日再生回数 12477 |

![]() | John McCormack sings "Then you'll remember me, " from Balfe's The Bohemian Girl. 1916. This is a pure example of Victorian music and sensibility. McCormack's rendering of the lovely old aria is pefect, and captures the earnest, albeit finger-wagging, sense of morality and propriety so characteristic of the age. Michael W. Balfe's opera was first performed in London in 1842, and , musically speaking, is absolutely a product of its time, even though its narrative inspiration would seem to be an old Cervantes story, La Gitanilla, an "exemplary novel" of the kind made popular by the great Spanish author, and which charmed the urbanites of earlier centuries who took their pleasure in pastoral romances.
