program notes Mio caro bene! My beloved! I no longer know suffering and pain, I no longer have grief in my heart. Seeing you happy, I feel now in my heart That only love abides in it. Verdi prati Green meadows, lovely woods, You will lose your beauty. Pretty flowers, rapid brooks, Your charm will soon change. The beautiful object has changed To the dismay of the first glance, Then everything will return in you. Vanne, o rosa fortunata Go, o fortunate rose To rest upon Nice’s breast And everyone will be compelled To envy your fate. Oh, if I could also for a single moment I could transform myself into you; No greater joy would have My heart but to sigh. But you vow in scorn, Beautiful faded rose. Your face made pale By anger and sorrow. Beautiful rose, the same fate is destined for both of us; We both must find death, You of envy and I of love. Sie liebten sich beide They loved one another, but neither Wished to tell the other; They gave each other such hostile looks, Yet nearly died of love.
program notes In the end they parted and saw Each other but rarely in dreams. They died so long ago And hardly knew it themselves. Die lotosblume The lotus-flower fears The sun’s splendour, And with bowed head, Dreaming, awaits the night. The moon is her lover, And wakes her with his light, And to him she tenderly unveils Her innocent flower-like face. She blooms and glows and gleams, And gazes silently aloftFragrant and weeping and trembling With love and the pain of love. Du bist wie eine blume You are like a flower, So lovely and beautiful and pure; I look at you, and melancholy Creeps into my heart. It feels as if I should lay my hands On your head, Praying that God will keep you So pure and beautiful and lovely. Ganymed How your glow envelops me in the morning radiance, spring, my beloved! With love’s thousandfold joy the hallowed sensation of your eternal warmth floods my heart, infinite beauty!
program notes O that I might clasp you in my arms! Ah, on your breast I lie languishing, and your flowers, your grass press close to my heart. You cool the burning thirst within my breast, sweet morning breeze, as the nightingale calls tenderly to me from the misty valley. I come, I come! But whither? Ah, whither? Upwards! Strive upwards! The clouds drift down, yielding to yearning love, to me, to me! In your lap, upwards, embracing and embraced! Upwards to your bosom, all-loving Father! Chanson d’amour I love your eyes, I love your brow, O my rebel, O my wild one, I love your eyes, I love your mouth Where my kisses shall dissolve. I love your voice, I love the strange Charm of all you say, O my rebel, O my dear angel, My inferno and my paradise. I love your eyes, I love your brow, O my rebel, O my wild one, I love your eyes, I love your mouth Where my kisses shall dissolve. I love all that makes you beautiful From your feet to your hair, O you the object of all my vows,
program notes O my wild one, O my rebel. I love your eyes, I love your brow, O my rebel, O my wild one, I love your eyes, I love your mouth Where my kisses shall dissolve. Nuit d’etoiles Night of stars, Beneath your veils, beneath yoru breeze and fragrance, Sad lyre That sighs, I dream of bygone loves. Serene melancholy Now blooms deep in my heart, And I hear the soul of my love Quiver in the dreaming woods. Night of stars... Once more at our fountain I see Your eyes as blue as the sky; This rose is your breath And these stars are your eyes. Beau soir When at sunset the rivers are pink And a warm breeze ripples the fields of wheat, All things seem to advise content And rise toward the troubled heart; Advise us to savour the gift of life, While we are young and the evening fair, For our life slips by, as that river does: It to the sea - we to the tomb.
