About This Song
About "Gianni Schicchi : Puccini: Gianni Schicchi: O mio babbino caro" by Anna Netrebko
Netrebko floats a plea like a paper boat on a dark river. The aria's orchestral swell is a held breath, her soprano a fragile flame against the void. Tenderness quivers on the edge of desperation, each phrase a prayer that the river might not swallow her.
