William Walton: Troilus And Cressida – English Northern Philharmonia / Hickox

Troilus and Cressida (Oper in 3 Akten) (Gesamtaufnahme)
Virgin of Troas (1. Akt)
Back to your hovels, you scavenging dogs
Is Cressida a slave?
Morning and evening I have felt your glance
Forgive me
I haunt her beauty like a naked soul
Ask me no more!
My father! Evadne, follow him!
Slowly it all comes back
Slowly it all comes back
Why, niece!… In tears?
Sweet sir, there’s something on my mind
Dear child, you need a little comfort
Does talking put you off? (2. Akt) (Szene 1)
How can I sleep?
At the haunted end of the day
Hush! Don’t be alarmed!
If one last doubt, one lurking fear remain
New life, new love! I am reborn
Now hold me close and let me lie there curled
Interlude: The storm
From isle to isle chill waters whisper the hour (2. Akt) (Szene 2)
Who would go drumming about the town at this hour?
My name is Diomede
This thing shall be revok’d
All’s well! (3. Akt)
No answering sign on the walls
Cressid, daughter, why so heavy-hearted
You gods, o deathless gods
Proud, wondrous Cressida, am I to live or die?
Take it. Take all you ask of me
So here’s an end of it all
Evadne!
Troilus!
What is this sudden alarm?
Troy, false of heart, yet fair!
She has brought shame on Argos! I’ll not endure it
Diomede!… Father!… Pandarus!… Evadne!… Troilus!
