Ukraine's Yuriy Mynenko performs Ombra fedele anch'io from Broschi's Idaspe, in the final of the 2009 Ö÷²¥´óÐã Cardiff Singer of the World competition.
Riccardo Broschi's 1730 opera was first performed in Venice. Broschi was the brother of the famous castrato, Farinelli, and is best known for the virtuoso arias, like this one, that he composed for him. In this piece, Dario is suffering. He will follow his beloved to the river Lethe, the river of forgetfulness. Only there will he find respite from his anguish.
