"World's first 24 hour long music video"

Pretty slick tech. Lots of things to play with. Especially with a touch screen. If you have a slow connection you might have to wait for it to load.

Barbaro no comprendo (from Adriano in Siria) - Antonio Caldara (1670-1736) ; Max Emanuel Cencic, countertenor ; Il Pomo d'Oro directed by Riccardo Minasi

Barbaric man, I cannot understand
whether you are vicious or a fool.
If you could see yourself
you would be revolted.
No wounded bear,
no snake trodden underfoot,
no lion with claws unsheathed,
no tigress deprived of her cubs
can match your ferocity.

[Apollonius]

A promotional video for a double album devoted to arias from various operas about Semiramis, semi-legendary queen of Assyria, the wife of Nimus, with whom she is supposed to have founded Babylon.

Semiramis, ('Superwoman'), builder and warrior, the 'Venus' of Mesopotamia, wife and queen, widow and mother.

Who in reality is this heroine who has been celebrated and condemned through centuries of the wide-ranging pursuit of knowledge?

Looking at the answers provided by archaeological science, Assyriology in particular, one element stands out above all: compared with the copious tangib le evidence relating to male sovereigns of the past, traces of Seriramis seem insubstantial, almost fleeting. But while Assyro-Babylonian kings find that their memory is safeguarded in statues and ceremonial engravings, Semiramis has an unhoped-for and exclusive monumentum: Music! It is unmusic that resotres to us the features of a figure who even today remains emblematic and who is yet to claim a place within the context of truth.

More than one hundred compositions inspired by her - a veritable all-time record in musical dram - lift the curtain on her story, inviting us to listen to her thoughts, to pass through her sumptuous palaces, to witness the explosive intrigues and passions that mark her eventful life. From Sermiramide in India by Francesco Sacrati (1648) to Semiramis by Michael Hamel (1983): a long journey that portrays every aspect of this first Queen of the Orient, delivering her once and for all from the dark moralistic mantle that in spite of herself has shrouded her over the course of centuries.
