About "Tito Manlio, RV 738 / Act 2 : Vivaldi: Tito Manlio, RV 738 / Act 2 - "Combatta un gentil cor"" by Cecilia Bartoli

A martial aria that hides a tremble. The singer urges a gentle heart to fight, yet the music's brisk, bright armor barely conceals a plea for courage. Bartoli sharpens the irony: the trumpet-like flourishes sound less like triumph than a desperate, brittle defiance against an inner siege.
