| Written in a spectacular operatic style, Passione Amorosa was composed as a duo for two double basses. Instead, Cléna performs it with violin and bass to contrast the two voices. This is a dialogue between a man and woman, but here it's the woman with the bass voice and the man who is the soprano! To open this love story (so that our two protagonists can get to know one another before the fireworks begin), Cléna has added this exquisite little aria from "Les Soirées Musicales" by Rossini. |
