I know that for many that might not be a sound reason to celebrate anything but I personally think it’s such a beautiful and extremely lovely occasion to say aloud what we feel for those we love. Of all the numerous forms of love there are, the romantic relation between a man and a woman is one of the brightest and basic things! It is such a joyous feeling to watch an elderly couple kiss and hug in their late 80ies for example – respect to those people who have managed to bring their love through years and not let it die in the routine of life!
There have been so many attempts to describe the essence of love through various shapes of art – but in my opinion there is no better combination for it than poetry and music that speak for themselves. In connection with this wonderful holiday I would like to share a very nice score for soprano and cello “The Love Poems of Marichiko”. This is a set of six poems by an American poet Kenneth Rexroth in quite an unusual delicate musical setting. It’s a duo and I would gladly like to imagine a couple-in-love performing the pieces together :)
“Life's greatest happiness is to be convinced we are loved.” – Victor Hugo once said. So I want to wish all you not to skimp on words of caress and love. Life is so short, so live it in love!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
