Renee Fleming - Casta Diva
Renee sings beautifully in this well known aria, ending with gorgeous trill and messa di voce! She might not be a bel canto specialist but she does a terrific job.

歌词:
Vincenzo Bellini NORMA Casta Diva, che inargenti, Chaste goddess, who dost bathe in silver Queste sacre antiche piante, these ancient, hallowed trees, A noi volgi il bel sembiante turn thy fair face upon us, Senza nube e senza vel ... unveiled and unclouded ...
Tempra, o Diva, tempra tu de' cori ardenti, Temper thou the burning hearts, Tempra ancora Io zelo audace, the excessive zeal of thy people Spargi in terra quella pace enfold the earth in the sweet peace Che regnar tu fai nel ciel ... which, through thee, reigns in Heaven
- 歌词译文摘自《Maria Callas - A Musical Biography》by Robert Levine
管弦乐与人声合唱将此曲重重推高,打开至雄伟,管弦乐渐弱,过渡以庄严的宣叙调。接着的"圣洁的女神"(Casta Diva)、"爱情回来"(Ah! Bello a me ritorna)则是诺尔玛在全剧中最好的一个唱段,也是意大利歌剧史上最有名的一曲。其曲调优美,是典型的贝里尼式样的旋律,绵延不断,由较小的音域开始,随感情的变化渐渐上升,在迎来一个小高潮后回复平缓。曲子的开头辅有长笛,结束部分交缠着德魯伊教徒的合唱,富有喜剧效果,也揭示出诺尔玛矛盾的内心情感,为她一步一步走向毁灭打下伏笔。第一幕的终曲是一首变化的重唱歌曲,其中诺尔玛与阿达尔吉莎的爱情两重唱华丽而且优雅,贝里尼在这里给出了一段美妙的装饰音,代表着两人不同心理的音乐相互交叠融合,接着音乐节奏加快,波霖内的声音加进来,沉重的音型暗示了三个人之间的争执、纠缠,激烈的对唱将剧情推向高潮。全剧的第二幕似乎是诺尔玛一个人的舞台,从"他们正在熟睡"(Dormono entrambi!)到与阿达尔吉莎的两重唱"啊!把两个孩子带过来"(Deh! Con te li prendi)及"直到最后一刻"(Si fine all'ore estreme,接着是面对波霖内时连着唱出的三首咏叹调,"如今你落在我手中"(In mia man alfin tusei)、"你将同样受苦"(Gia mi pasco ne tuoi sguardi)和"被你背弃的心"(Qual cor tradisti,整整60分钟几乎没有停息,这不仅是技巧上的体现也是一种意志的显露。能够胜任"诺尔玛"这个角色的女高音并不多,因此每场演出及录音都成为了稀有的珍品。
