Ben di sguardi tal' hor mi si fa dono,
ben odo il suono della voce humano,
e ben stingo tal' hor l'amata mano

About Ben di sguardi
Piero Benedetti’s Ben di sguardi is a solo aria for soprano, written in Italian. The vocal line is expressive, at times lyrical, at others more dramatic, reflecting the text. The music conjures a sense of yearning, with the solo voice conveying a profound personal melancholy. The opening of the text speaks of moments of relief, when a glance is bestowed, a voice is heard, or a beloved hand is reached for. However, these fleeting comforts are overshadowed by an enduring sorrow, a pain that the heart does not regret, for it is inseparable from the singer's experience.
