X Marks the Spot - Selections from IX. Tell Me The Truth About Love (2024)

IX. Tell Me The Truth About Love (2024)IX. Tell Me The Truth About Love (2024) This program was an exploration of some of the moods and phases of Love. Love is the root of the word “amateur” - a description of our status as musicians and of the motive force behind performing the music that we present– both the love of the composers and the need to share it with an audience. Performed at this recital: Benjamin Britten - “Tell Me the Truth About Love”, text by W.H. Auden Vincenzo Bellini - “L’Abbandono” Sergei Rachmaninoff – Prelude Op. 23 No. 4 Text translation: Vincenzo Bellini - “L’Abbandono” Lonely breeze, why do you sigh? Sighs are for me alone, grieving and unhappy, I call on Daphnis who does not listen to my unbearable torment! The sweet violet, the rose and the jasmine languish in vain; I am far from the one I adore. I have no relief unless she comes to console me with her beautiful blue-eyed gaze Industrious bee, who always flits from flower to flower - listen: If you find her, wherever she is, Tell her to return to the one who adores her, Just as you return to the bosom of the roses At the first light of dawn!
