Tra le procelle assorto (Carl Heinrich Graun) Jeanine De Bique

Tra le procelle assorto from the opera Cleopatra e Cesare (1742) by Carl Heinrich Graun (1704-1759) Jeanine De Bique, soprano Concerto Köln Luca Quintaville, conductor Tra le procelle assorto se resta il passaggero, colpa non ha il nocchiero, ma solo il vento e’l mar. Colpa non ha se il frutto perde l’agricoltore, ma il nembo che sul fiore lo venne a dissipar. TRANSLATION: If a voyager is drowned amid raging storms, the fault lies not with the helmsman, but only with the wind and the waves. And if the farmer loses his fruit, the fault lies not with him, but with the raincloud that washed its blossom away.
