Hila Plitmann captivates in Danielpour's Songs of Love and Loss, No. 3. Triste

Richard Danielpour has collaborated frequently with soprano Hila Plitmann, and this album features three recent works, two of which were written specifically for her. The song cycles heard here are sung in three languages central to the composer’s life. Songs of Love and Loss is in Farsi and sets the poetry of Rumi; Canti Della Natura, in Italian, takes sonnets attributed to Vivaldi in The Four Seasons; while Songs of My Father is set to the English poems of Danielpour’s father. Each cycle features differing instrumentation and reflects Danielpour’s long-admired compositional subtlety and refinement.

Songs of Love and Loss
Texts: Rumi (Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī) (1207-1273)
[3] No. 3. Triste
Rubiyat Gar man miram marah biyarid shomah
Mordeh bengare man separid shomah
Gar booseh dahand bar lab-e poosideye man
Gar zendeh shavam ajab madarid shomah
If I die Please carry me
To the place where my beloved lies
And if he gives me one kiss
On my frigid lips,
Do not be surprised that in this kiss,
Yet again, I live.
