You say we should wait—
It must have snowed all night or season,
we don’t seem to know
and there isn’t a clock;
I say then
we should
wait, I
trust you.
The white page is blank outside;
we haven’t heard in days.
There is not enough time for a whole new plot.
Inside, the wax dilates
wide around the candle.
We sit in the dark
and wait
and are separate,
but looking at each other—

Lea Desandre sings as Antiope in the world premiere recording of this floating aria, “Vieni, corri, volami in braccio” (“come, run, fly into my arms”), by 17th-century composer Pallavicino. Discover more on her album Amazone, with Thomas Dunford and the ensemble Jupiter: https://w.lnk.to/aldLY
The program draws inspiration from the great female warriors of myth, viewed through the lens of Baroque composers. Mezzo-soprano Lea Desandre explores the fascinating ways that composers treat their Amazonian characters, particularly interesting figures in that they embody a “male/female” duality. The recordings feature three special guests: Cecilia Bartoli and Véronique Gens appear in separate duets with Lea, and William Christie features on harpsichord in a piece by Couperin.
