About This Song
About "Norma / Act II : Bellini: Norma / Act II: Deh! con te, con te li prendi" by Beverly Sills
A plea that bleeds into sacrifice: 'Deh! con te, con te li prendi' finds Sills at her most vulnerable, the line stretching like a thread about to snap. The music swells with maternal anguish, a lullaby turned into a farewell. Every ornament is a tear.
