Cecilia Bartoli
Lascia Ch'Io Pianga

There is nothing more sublime than the song of a witch.
Those songs that implode in the heart of the listener, transforming them into valleys of tears. A spell on the senses.

There is nothing more sublime than feeling a voice enter your veins and make you feel what the song itself feels.

Those who have seen Lars Von Trier's sublime masterpiece "Antichrist" will understand the beauty that revolves around this air, with those six minutes of slow-motion that remain engraved in the flesh and never leave you.

It is like having a monster that slowly absorbs the blood in your veins. It's like falling into an infernal whirlpool, without the possibility of coming back up.

Cecilia is "Lascia ch'io pianga". She herself becomes the song and screams her notes engraved in the heart, carved by a master like Handel in a starry sky.

Let yourselves be carried away in your rivers of tears. Cry and free your heart. Rediscover those emotions buried in your hearts. Rediscover them and preserve them. Under these notes.
