Starting Terminus - Piano Solo

Philippe Jaroussky and his Ensemble Artaserse live, Versailles, 2009. You can find the whole concert on YouTube! (I cleaned up the audio a little.) 

The opera "(La) Merope" tells the story of Merope, the widow of King Cresfonte (greek: Kresphontes). Her husband and children were killed by his enemy, with only her son Epitide (greek: Aipytos) escaping this fate. Growing up in exile, Epitide falls in love with Argia. The plot culminates in Act III, when Epitide finds himself completely alone among the two people who he thought knew him best. 

Originally, the role of Epitide was sung by Farinelli. 

In "Sposa, non mi conosci", Epitide addresses his mother Merope and his lover, Argia, alternately, which makes for a slightly confusing text. Later, Vivaldi used the achingly beautiful piece for his pasticcio "Bajazet", but with an altered text: "Sposa, son disprezzata".

*Italian*
Sposa, non mi conosci? 
Madre, tu non mi ascolti. 
(Cieli che feci mai!)
E pur sono il tuo Cor, 
Il tuo figlio, il tuo amor 
La tua speranza.

Parla, ma sei infedel
Credi, ma sei crudel
Morir mi lascerai?
Oh dio! manca il valor
E la costanza.

*English translation*
And am I to my spouse unknown? 
Will not my mother lend an ear? 
Say, oh ye gods, what have I done,
Deserves a torture thus severe! 
I once was object of thy love; 
Thou plac'd thy hopes in me thy son. 

Speak; but thou dost faithless prove. 
Believe; but thou art cruel grown. 
What will ye both, than, let me die, 
Ye gods, I find I can't prevail: 
And now I feel my constancy,
And former courage both do fail.
