In one of Porpora’s more dramatically contrasting cantatas, the young lover is exhorted to deal with his rage by railing at the heavens, giving rise to a wonderful aria ‘Contro me il Ciel spietato’. We find out it’s a girl again in the next recitative and the cantata finishes with the young man promising to die for his love.
Range: e – a”
