Performance: Voices of Classic – Classical Choir of Linz Music School
Conducted by Florian Eschelmüller
Live Recording at Brucknerhaus Linz – Middle Hall

A memorable evening of music as Voices of Classic, the classical choir of the Linz Music School, presents the Lament Concert – Introduction Program.

"Lasciatemi morire" is the famous opening aria from Claudio Monteverdi’s 1608 opera L'Arianna (Lamento d'Arianna)

Claudio Monteverdi (1567–1643), one of the greatest pioneers of early Western classical music, lived during the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque era, a time when music began to focus deeply on human emotion and expression. His work played a crucial role in shaping opera as we know it today.

One of his most moving creations is “Lasciatemi morire” (“Let me die”), the famous opening of the Lamento di Arianna from his 1608 opera L’Arianna. Although the opera itself is now lost, this powerful lament survived becoming one of the earliest and most expressive examples of dramatic solo singing in music history.

In this piece, Ariadne, abandoned and heartbroken, pours out her grief with raw emotional intensity. Monteverdi’s music captures not just melody, but the depth of human sorrow—making it timeless, haunting, and deeply relatable even today.

✨ A fragment of a lost masterpiece… yet a complete world of emotion.
