Beverly Hoch - No, no, che non sei capace K.419

Live recording of soprano Beverly Hoch singing K.419 in Connecticut 1985. Mozart exercises his formidable talent for making beautiful phrases, lushly ormanented, convey fury and hate. Even though the piece was never completely finished, it is an impressive work. Like Vorrei spiegarvi, oh Dio, this is an insertion aria for Il curioso indiscreto by Anfossi. The author of the text is unknown. Clorinda, who also sings the Vorrei spiegarvi, here addresses her suitor angrily. "No, you are incapable of courtesy, of honor, and are wrong in boasting that your heart burns with love for me. Go. I abhor you, ingrate, and abhor myself even more that for an instant I loved you, that I had sighed for you."
