retour de soleil

Remonte le flot des notes qui s'agitent avec exactitude,

gravis la musique jusqu'à sa portée essentielle,

prometteuse et divine,

retrouve la pureté culminante, l'égale de la nature mélodieuse !

A Stunning Recital by Bruce Liu at the Music Academy of the West

Canadian Pianist Bruce Liu (photo from Wikipedia) Elon Musk’s rockets could be said to rise more slowly in contrast to this fabulous young artist’s career. His local debut occurred some 50 miles south of that Vandenburg Space X launch pad. Born to Chinese parents in the waning years of the 20th century in Montreal, this intensely focused man was in command of the stage (and the piano) from the…

Rameau: Pour jamais l'amour nous engage

Rameau's opera Les Indes Galantes (1735) consists of four independent stories told one after the other. The 2nd one called "The Incas of Peru" is about a Spanish officer and an Inca princess who fell in love with each other--but the Inca high priest loves her too! To convince her to marry him he causes an earthquake and tells her it's a divine sign that she ought to choose him. But the Spaniard intervenes and reveals that it was all just a trick.

This is where the linked video starts, the finale. The sweethearts sing of their love, simultaneously the priest sings of his rage. [I love this clash of emotions that you can hear in the music. The duet is affectionate yet at the same time (!) the priest's outburst are so angry. The music conveys two very different feelings simultaneously and it still works somehow.] The earthquake causes the volcano to erupt and the villainous priest is crushed by its fiery rocks.

Phani (the Inca princess), Carlos (the Spanish officer) Love binds us forever. No, no, nothing compares to my bliss. Ah! My heart has well earned The fate that it shares with you.

Pour jamais, l’amour nous engage. Non, non, rien n’est égal à ma félicité. Ah ! Mon coeur a bien mérité Le sort qu’avec Vous il partage.

Huascar (the Inca high priest) No, no, nothing compares to my rage. I am a witness of their bliss. Must my aggrieved heart Be beyond vengeance of so cruel an outrage?

Non, non, rien n’égale ma rage. Je suis témoin de leur félicité. Faut-il que mon coeur irrité Ne puisse être vengé d’un si cruel outrage ?
