It is 63 years today since the death of Italian composer Francesco Cilea (23 July 1866 – 20 November 1950). Cilea is particularly known for his operas LArlesiana and Adriana Lecouvreur. Here we present you with Jonas Kaufmanns heart wrenching interpretation of Lamento di Federico (È la solita storia del pastore) - LArlesiana. Complete with translation: It’s the old tale of the shepherd... The poor boy wanted to retell it And he fell asleep. There is oblivion in sleep. How I envy him! I too would like to sleep like that To find oblivion at least in slumber! I am searching only for peace. I would like to be able to forget everything! Yet every effort is in vain. Before me I always have her sweet face. Peace is ever taken from me. Why must I suffer so very much? She, as always speaks to my heart. Fatal vision, leave me! You hurt me so deeply!
