"Gelido in ogni vena" Giovanni Battista Ferrandini, "Siroe" Libretto: Pietro Metastasio

Countertenor + piano accompagniment: Philippe Jaroussky Live on France Inter Nov 2023 Cosroes' aria (Act III, scene V)

Gelido in ogni vena Scorrer mi sento il sangue, L'ombra del figlio esangue M'ingombra di terror.

E per maggior mia pena Vedo che fui crudele A un'anima innocente, Al core del mio cor.

** I feel my blood congealing run Thro' ev'ry vein, in ev'ry part, And the pale ghost of my dear son, Strikes dread and terror to my heart.

And still to add to greater woe, The loyal innocent I've slain, Of cruelty at length I know, I, on myself, have fix'd the stain.

Gelido in ogni vena" is an aria from a libretto by Pietro Metastasio*. It appears in two distinct operas: "Siroe" and "Farnace". (Farnace: 1927, "Gelido in ogni vena" was set to music by almost every composer in Baroque and beyond. The approaches are very different and interesting to hear. They range from Vinci's approach which is more pleasing than it is gripping to Vivaldi's soul-crushing benchmark of what a baroque aria can be.

The fellow Venetian Giovanni Battista Ferrandini (*1710) has a yet different approach. It's not quite clear when his version was composed, only that it happened before 1758. The dread that befalls Cosroe when he imagines seeing his deceased son whom he (justly) feels he has wronged that makes his blood run cold with fear and guilt, Ferrandini illustrates with fragile diminished jumps and subtle harmonic shifts and chromatics as Cosroe's world is coming apart at the seams, shifting and shaking while he tries to somehow smoothen the cracks and live on. More personal and intimate than Vivaldi's, Ferrandini's interpretation is sublime by its own merit.

*) (this seems more likely even though some sources credit Antonio Maria Lucchini, but it seems that his version didn't contain "Gelido ...")

The full da capo aria can be found on Philippe Jaroussky's album "Forgotten Arias" [x]. On the radio, live, he gives us a two-minute slice.

2 men that I never lost the obsession for......

Characters:

Duncan MacLeod—immortal Boy Scout

Methos— immortal man who has been everywhere and done everything

Actors:

Jensen Ackles—he oozes talent and has such a heart.

Hugh Jackman—I watched his stuff thanks to the X-men movie.

Runner-up:

Robert Downey, Jr.—I don’t know why. Just haven’t. I have yet to find a movie of his I didn’t like. I love him in the Singing Detective movie and Heart and Soul movie.

2 old character obsession that are nerds

Daniel Jackson (Stargate movie)

The 10th Doctor

2 age-appropriate obsessions (either at the time or now??)

Misha Collins—the more and more I learn about the man, the more I wish we could be friends. I’m not joking.

I can’t think of another one. Mine have rarely been age appropriate tbh >.>()

2 soulmate obsessions

(I’m not entirely certain what this means but here’s what I’m going with…)

Dean Winchester (Supernatural) — I basically ended up marrying an oddly close version of this character

The drag king chick from the l tv show, Bliss (played by Laura Evans)—this character was such an awakening for me. I have been obsessed with wanting to get a much more masculine wardrobe of vests and waistcoats with slacks.

2 obsessions that made you “gay” (you dont have to be a gay)

The drag king chick (actress Laura Evans) from the tv show, Bliss (The Marvellon, episode)

Isabeau from Lost Girl—you have to watch the show to understand. That show is how Supernatural should have been treated.

For the record: I’m pan (I like everyone no matter sex, gender, or identification)

Regrettable, questionable obsessions upon reflection or that I completely split on because of their actor!!

Regrettable obsessions—Legs (Foxfire movie), Lestat and Louis (Interview with the Vampire movie)

Questionable obsessions—Akasha (Queen of the Damned), Edward and Jacob (Twilight)

Obsessions that remind me I’m “gay”

Kaylee (Firefly/Serenity),

Amelia Pond (Doctor Who),

River Song (Doctor Who),

Inara (Firely/Serenity),

The Doctor from Doctor Who

Ones I totally forgot about

Characters:

E. Edward Grey (The Secretary) and Lloyd Dobler (Say Anything)

Actors:

Daniel Bernhardt (Siro in Mortal Kombat: Conquest tv show; an agent in the Matrix)

Chuck Norris

Ones that are specifically about the characters

Deadpool and Logan (the worst Wolverine) from the Deadpool and Wolverine movie,

Dean Winchester, Castiel, and Death (Supernatural the tv series),

Death (Sandman comic and tv show),

the Doctor (Doctor Who), Amelia Pond and River Song (Doctor Who)
