Hi all! It’s been a rough couple of months. I’ve been spending my time going through the MetOnDemand archives, and my most recent indulgence was Werther with Jonas Kaufmann SophieKoch and Lisette Oropesa ... glorious music making! I wanted to share my own rendition of “Va! Laisse couler mes larmes” because it seems very relevant to our current situation - sometimes you just have to let yourself cry. Please excuse the iffy audio quality...

•

Go! Let flow my tears!
they do me good, my darling!
The tears which one does not cry
Inside our soul fall again, all of them,
And with their patient drops
Hammer the heart sad and weary.
Its resistance finally exhausts itself;
The heart collapses and weakens;
It is too big; nothing fills it
And too fragile, everything breaks it!
