Nulla in Mundo Pax Sincera - Antonio Vivaldi

Soprano - Sandrine Piau

"Nulla in Mundo Pax Sincera" can be translated as "In this world there is no honest peace"
This is a Motet and consists of three parts(Aria, Recitative, Aria), followed by a concluding Alleluia.

Written by Latin. So,
Here is English Translation.

First Aria.


Nulla in mundo pax sincera
sine felle; pura et vera,
dulcis Jesu, est in te.

Inter poenas et tormenta
vivit anima contenta
casti amoris sola spe.

Eng.
In this world there is no honest peace
free from bitterness; true and pure
peace, sweet Jesus. lies in Thee.

Amidst punishment and torment
lives the contented soul,
chaste love its only hope.


Recitative, 2nd Aria and Alleluia


-Recitative
Blando colore oculos mundus decepit
at occulto vulnere corda conficit;
fugiamus ridentem, vitemus sequentem,
nam delicias ostentado arte secura
vellet ludendo superare.

-Aria
Spirit anguis
inter flores et colores
explicando tegit fel.
Sed occulto tactus ore
homo demens in amore
saepe lambit quasi mel.

-Alleluia

Eng.
-Recitative
This world deceives the eye by surface charms,
but is corroded within by hidden wounds.
Let us flee him who smiles, shun him who follows us,
for by skilfully displaying its pleasures, this world
overwhelms us by deceit.

-Aria
The serpent’s hiss conceals its venom,
as it uncoils itself
among blossoms and beauty.
But with a furtive touch of the lips,
a man maddened by love
will often kiss as if licking honey.

-Alleluia

Sur le fil - Yann

Sur le fil means "on the string"
It's like he performs an acrobatic on the violin string.

Whatever it means,

This is Passion.

The Goldberg Variations

The Goldberg Variations, BWV 988, are a set of 30 variations for harpsichord by Johann Sebastian Bach.

Glenn Herbert Gould(September 25, 1932 – October 4, 1982)was a Canadian pianist.
He was a Bach specialist, espicially Goldberg Variations.
He gave up concert performances in 1964, dedicating himself to the recording studio for the rest of his career, and performances for television and radio.

He got injured on tailbone and seeing picture above he used that chair for the rest of his life. Maybe because of his father's gift.

He loved steinway like I do.

So many VODs are floating over the Web.
Among those La campanella, I love Kissin and Cziffra's.

It's very weird that he got the very talented skills coming from his dull appearance.

Like Actor, Krystian Zimerman!

But, it's very easy to notice how powerful and sensual he is.

He was born in 1956, Poland.
Started playing at 7 years old.
