Alessandro Scarlatti, Toglietemi la vita ancor
Posted: Fri Dec 18, 2009 7:24 pm
Clarification needed, please. . . .
Can someone with better knowledge of Scarlatti's works please confirm whether this is an arie antiche independent of an opera, or whether it is the well-known "Toglietemi" from Il Pompeo?
If it's from Il Pompeo, it probably should be in a page for that opera?
Also, since the librettist on the IMSLP page is blank, one internet source I found says the text for the aria is anonymous, but another says the libretto for the opera was by Nicolo Minato. (Neither source is what would be considered 100% sound academically . . . . .)
