Sheherazade

This piece is very close to my heart.

I first sang it with my very dear friend and the world's greatest Simon Rattle, and for a little while, I felt like I would never want to sing it again, because I loved it too much, and because of the unfathomable , almost painful joy I felt while making that music alive and breathing, together with this master magician.

I am singing it tomorrow,with someone else, and although the hall is a magnificent one, and the music is technically the same piece I sang before ,I feel a bit apathetic at the moment, and I hope it goes away soon.
My mother's mother , swore to never love another man again after my grandfather died, and I think such were my feelings about singing this ever after.
But I keep telling my self that in this world you can't be faithful to a passing moment.
