About "Il Bajazet, Act I: Forte e lieto" by Auser Musici
Forte e lieto—strong and joyful—the aria marches with confident Baroque swagger, trumpeting its own bravado. But Auser Musici lets a shadow flicker at the edges of each flourish, as if triumph is a mask worn too tightly. Ceremony and unease entwine.
