Tante sono le acerbe mie pene che incerto di spene m’opprime il dolor. Quicksands, rocks, tempests, and storms are what the stars show for me in the realm of love. My bitter pains are so many that, uncertain of hope, my grief weighs me down. Available from Chandos Records: https://earlyopera.com/recordings/han...
