About This Song
About "La Traviata: Act II: Lunge da lei; De' miei bollenti spiriti" by Carlo Bergonzi
Alfredo's solitary reflection burns with restless fire. Bergonzi shapes 'De' miei bollenti spiriti' as a confession of passion that consumes its bearer, the tenor's tone both radiant and frayed. The orchestra flickers like a candle in a draft, illuminating a love that is already burning out.
