Welcome to your Friday Musical Moment! Today’s piece is from Grétry’s, Le Magnifique (Act I, Scene 7) sung by a trio consisting of Emiliano Ganzalez Toro, Jeffrey Thompson, and Karim Sulayman.
Three tenors singing together, what could go wrong?
Aldobrandin wants to marry Clémentine who has been in his charge since her father disappeared in a shipwreck. Fabio, his helper informs him that Le Magnifique, Octave, is willing to give his best horse in order to have 15 minutes to talk with Clémentine. Aldobrandin, unable to believe his luck, accepts the deal with Octave and all three men leave singing the trio we hear in this week’s musical moment.
