Mozart: "Qual nocchier", Aria d'Amital from Betulia Liberata K118 Sandrine Piau Les Talens Lyriques, Christophe Rousset Festival de Saint-Denis, Basilica of Saint-Denis, 2003 ------------------------------------ Qual nocchier che in gran procela, Non s'affanna e non favella, É vicino a naufragar É vicino all'ore estreme Quell'infermo che non geme E ha cagion di sospirar ------------------------------------ This navigator who, in the middle of a great storm, Does not busy himself and who keeps quiet Is close to shipwreck He is very close to the final hour, The ill one does not wail And he is right to sigh ------------------------------------
