Temi d’amore (Caldara) Giuseppina Bridelli

Temi d’amore from the cantata Innocente cor mio
by Antonio Caldara (1670-1736)

Giuseppina Bridelli, mezzo-soprano
Quartetto Vanvitelli:
Gian Andrea Guerra, violin
Nicola Brovelli, cello
Mauro Pinciaroli, archlute
Luigi Accardo, harpsichord

Temi d’amore,
se mai t’infiamma,
dolce la fiamma,
vago l’ardor.
Poiché violento
per un contento
che porge ai sensi
di mali immensi
inonda il cor.

TRANSLATION (by James Chater):
Beware the sweet flame,
the lovely warmth of love,
if it ever burns you.
For love, in its violence,
for the sake of happiness
offered to the senses,
floods the heart
with countless woes.
