About This Song
About "I Capuleti e i Montecchi, Act I : Bellini: I Capuleti e i Montecchi, Act I: Ascolta! Se Romeo t'uccise un figlio" by Aigul Akhmetshina
Bellini's Romeo—sung here by a mezzo—pleads with a warrior's tenderness. 'Ascolta!' is both command and confession, the voice trembling between vengeance and devotion. Akhmetshina makes the bel canto line a tightrope walk, each ornament a step over the abyss of civil war.
