About This Song
About "Orlando, HWV 31 / Act 3 : Handel: Orlando, HWV 31 / Act 3 - No. 39 Acc. "Vinse incanti" - No. 40 Coro "Tronfa oggi'l mio cor"" by Bejun Mehta
Triumph rings hollow here: the coro's exultation collides with the countertenor's haunted declamation. Handel paints victory as a fever dream, the orchestra's bright fanfares shadowed by Orlando's fractured psyche—a hero's homecoming that feels like a burial, the crown heavy with madness.
