Join us on October 4th at 3pm (NY), 9pm (European time), 2 pm (Mexico), and 10pm (Moscow) for an EXCLUSIVE WORLD PREMIERE [HD recording] of the 'Pavlova Songs,' a song cycle written by Mexican composer Venus Rey Jr., conducted by Fabrizio Da Ros and performed by the Musica Viva Orchestra, featuring soprano Natalia Pavlova.
In this work, Rey sets to music “One Touch in Seven Octaves” (Одно касание в семи октавах), a collection of seven erotic poems written by the celebrated Russian poet Vera Pavlova.
A very unique collaboration between a living poet and composer, as sung by the poet's own daughter, this Premiere will celebrate the release of the upcoming Da Vinci Classics album 'The Pavlova Songs.' The artists and musicians will also be joining us in the pre and post-concert Zoom sessions for an exciting discussion and q&a about their unique collaboration.
What's the music?
Venus Rey Jr, Bachiana No. 4, 1st Movement
Olga Kalinova — Cello
The Pavlova Songs — Venus Rey Jr. (composer)
Description:
Writing and sung in their native Russian, these are erotic poems, both subtle and explicit, depicting the voice of a woman expressing and singing her desire towards the man she loves. A key concept is the caress, and which is expressed through fantastic metaphors.
In the film there will be subtitles in English in translation by Steven Seymour. The song cycle is scored for three parts of violins, two parts of violas, two parts of cellos, double bass, piano, timpani, percussion, flute, bassoon, horn and soprano soloist.
Song No. 1: Caresses that are like a first-grader's handwriting
Song No. 2: Caresses that make the loved one faint and disappear
Song No. 3: Caresses that are like a bow over the strings of an ethereal instrument, which is the body of the loved one
Song No. 4: Caresses that make the body light, chiseled and compact
Song No. 5: Love itself playing the 'blind man's bluff' with lovers
Song No. 6: The nature of touching –touching the sex of the beloved– as the key to release the mystery of a metaphysical disembodiment
Song No. 7: The sensation of ants racing all over the body, and the lover propelled into ecstasy
