About This Song
About "Siface : Porpora: Siface: Come Nave in mezzo all'onde" by Cecilia Bartoli
Porpora's 'Come Nave in mezzo all'onde' sets the soul adrift on a storm-tossed sea. Bartoli's voice rides the waves of Baroque ornament—now buoyant, now engulfed. The tension is between navigational control and surrender to the deep, a sailor's prayer in the rigging.
