Opera for post-Jonas Septuagesima

Just happens to be my audio pleasure this morning, heard it yesterday too!

Carlo's Da gelido sudore bass aria in Act II (1:52:50) is perfect for the morning after the blizzard Jonas. Enjoy!
The Italian Aurio Tomicich (+ 2009) is the bass.

The tenor in this performance is an American: Gregory Kunde.

He too is superb, e.g. reaching the high F (above the tenor high C) at the end of his first aria (cavatina) in this performance, A tanto duol (7:40), Ascolta, o padre, i gemiti (11:40 for the high F!)
