About This Song
About "Berenice : Araia: Berenice: Cadrò, ma qual si mira" by Cecilia Bartoli
Araia's aria is a fall from grace, and Bartoli makes the descent luminous. 'I will fall,' she sings, and the strings cascade around her like shattered glass. There's defiance in the ruin—a queen's pride burning through the wreckage of love.
