Solène Le Van -- “Être aimé“ by Jules Massenet (Video)
Here I interpret an art song by Massenet with Eric Le Van at the piano. The mélodie is rarely performed -- undeservedly so -- perhaps because the composer suffered from a reputation as a fantastical manufacturer of theatrical effects, a classicist whose penchant for writing unabashedly pleasing music contradicted the aims of serious modern music. This piece reveals instead that Massenet is a kind of exalted artisan, who, through sheer mastery of his idiom and gift for sweeping vocal melody, creates impeccably-fashioned musical jewels. His tender and luminous evocations of guileless femininity, filtered through a wonder-filled imagination, reminds me of Nabokov’s thoughts on Jane Austen: “From that workbasket comes exquisite needlework art, and there is a streak of marvelous genius in that child.” Please turn on the subtitles to read the original French and a translation of Victor Hugo’s poetry in real time.
