EDEN: Joyce DiDonato – The Circle, Part 2 (Cavalli: La Calisto, Act 1: "Piante ombrose")

Cavalli s aria "Piante ombrose" narrates the final part of Joyce DiDonato s music video duology "The Circle", which illustrates the poignant message guiding her EDEN initiative. What a powerful force Nature is – even when suffering assaults, wars, and devastation, She always regenerates. Will we work in harmony with Her? Discover the album, made with Il Pomo d Oro and conductor Maxim Emelyanychev, here: https://w.lnk.to/edenLY Watch The Circle, Part 1: https://youtu.be/ZX3ipLzqrCY Through EDEN, Joyce DiDonato traces the timeless theme of nature across many eras of music. The album samples repertoire from diverse inspirations and time periods, all of which explore an aspect of humankind’s eternal relationship with nature. In Joyce s words, the selections of the program "have no boundaries – like a wild garden." Beyond the recording, the EDEN project encompasses a global tour of more than 45 venues across five continents, groundbreaking education programs, and multiple partnerships. This multi-faceted initiative is poised to make a long-term impact and legacy which asks each of us to consider this question: "In this time of upheaval, which seed will you plant today?" __________ Joyce DiDonato, woman Gaetan Palazzo, boy Director: Aitor Padilla Cinematography: Roman Ryzhko Executive Producer: Joyce DiDonato Producer: Elvira Pla Makeup: De María Stylist: Angel Cabezuelo Video: Hashtag Art #EDEN #TheCircle #Cavalli #Opera __________ Piante ombrose, Dove sono i vostri onori? Vaghi fiori Dalla fiamma inceneriti, Colli, e liti, Di smeraldi già coperti, Or deserti, Del bel verde, io vi sospiro: Dove giro, Calda, il piede, e sitibonda, Trovo l’onda Rifuggita entro la fonte, Né la fronte Bagnar posso, o ’l labbro ardente. Inclemente: Si chi tuona arde la terra? Non più, Giove, ah non più guerra! O shade-giving plants, Where now is your beauty? O lovely flowers, Turned to ash by the flames, And you hills and shores Once covered in emerald But now bereft Of your fair greenery, I grieve for you: Wherever I turn, Hot and thirsty, I find the streams Have fled back to their source, I cannot bathe My brow, or my burning lips. Does the god of thunder So mercilessly scorch the earth? No more, Jove, ah, no more war. __________ Warner Classics ► Website: http://www.warnerclassics.com Subscribe to our: ► YT- Channel: https://wnrcl.me/subscribeYT ► Newsletter https://wnrcl.me/subscribeNL Follow us on: ► Facebook: http://www.fb.com/WarnerClassicsErato ► Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/warner_classics ► Twitter: http://twitter.com/WarnerClassics ► YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/warnerclassics Listen to us on: ► Spotify: http://open.spotify.com/user/warnerclassics ► Apple Music: http://itunes.apple.com/curator/warner-classics/1153741571 ► Deezer https://www.deezer.com/profile/321050935 Warner Classics is the home of classical music, featuring iconic high audio quality recordings from the greatest classical legends, opera stars and orchestras of the last century.
