Beverly Sills: "Plaisir d'amour"

Posted about 1 year ago
Giovanni Batista Martini, an all but forgotten 18th century composer, wrote “Plaisir d’amour” (the title track of this CD). It is a philosophical song about the joys and sorrows of love. “The joy of love lasts only a moment, The sorrow of love lasts your whole life through.” It has a charming pair of soloists: a harpsichord and a solo flute (played by Paige Brook of the NY Philharmonic).
