This is my first introduction to Igor Lipinski. 
Magician AND pianist, I thought, can't be that  good, odd career combination..??
Well, what can I say......magical interpretation.
I  adore this piece. I adore the pianist.
This is how Chopin himself would probably have played this beautiful passionate nocturne.
Roberto.


DES:RE:CONNECTION

A tune composed from Mikis Theodorakis, a great Greek composer, that accompanied me, in life.

Music: Mikis Theodorakis
Lyrics: Giannis Theodorakis

If you want to listen the original song you can find it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxWv-2QuBik
--------------------------------------------------
Μενεξεδένια ήταν τα βουνά
μενεξεδένια τα φιλιά
μενεξεδένια ήταν τα μάτια σου
κατάμαυρη είναι η μοναξιά.

Το τρένο αυτό που σε ξερίζωσε
μου σκίζει πάντα την καρδιά
το σφύριγμά του είναι για μέ λυγμός
το πέρασμά του είναι καημός.

Ήμουν για σένα ο διαβάτης που περνά
ήσουν για μένα το νερό και η φωτιά.

Σε κράτησα μέσα στα χέρια μου
σα νά ‘σουνα μικρό πουλί
με την αυγή γλυκοκελάηδησες
το δειλινό είχες χαθεί.

Κι εγώ στα δάση τώρα τριγυρνώ
μετρώ τα κίτρινα κλαδιά
μετρώ τα φύλλα που ξεράθηκαν
την άμετρη μετρώ ερημιά.

-
Violet were the mountains
violet the kisses
violet your eyes
deep black the loneliness

This train that uprooted you
endlessly tears at my heart
its whistle a sob
its departure sorrow

For you I was a passing stranger
for me you were water and fire

I held you in my arms
as if you were a small bird
with the dawn you sang sweetly
by dusk you were gone

And now I wander the forests
counting the yellow boughs
counting the dried leaves
counting the endless desert

-
Violett waren die Berge
violett die Küsse
violett waren deine Augen
ganz weiß ist die Einsamkeit.

Dieser Zug, der dich entwurzelt hat
zerreißt mir total das Herz
sein Pfiff ist für mich ein Schluchzer
seine Abfahrt bedeutet Kummer.

Ich war für dich der Passant, der vorüberging
du warst für mich Wasser und Feuer.

Ich hielt dich in meinen Händen
als wärst du ein kleiner Vogel
in der Morgendämmerung hast du ganz süß gesungen
in der Abenddämerung warst du weg.

Und ich treibe mich jetzt in den Wäldern herum
zähle die gelben Zweige
zähle die vertrockneten Blätter
ermesse die unendliche Wüste.
-
Fioletowe były góry,
fioletowe pocałunki.
Fioletowe były twoje oczy.
Całkiem czarna jest samotność.

Ten pociąg, który wyrwał cię,
rozrywa mi zawsze Serce.
Jego gwizd jest dla mnie szlochem.
Jego odejście jest smutkiem.

Byłam dla ciebie przechodniem, który mija.
Byłeś dla mnie wodą i ogniem.

Trzymałam cię w moich rękach,
jak byłbyś małym ptakiem.
O świcie słodko zaśpiewałeś,
o zmierzchu zniknąłeś.

A ja włóczę się teraz po lasach.
Zliczam żółte gałęzie.
Zliczam uschnięte liście.
Odmierzam niezmierzoną pustkę.

Μενεξεδένια ήταν τα βουνά (Violet were the mountains) - Piano Solo

Lyrics: Leuteris Papadopoulos
Music: Giannis Spanos
-
The Sundays in Katerini
Leave with the rain
And the travelling troupes of actors
Play the Golfo alone.

And the soldiers like you
Twirl in the station
And wherever they meet with trains
Something chokes them in the throat.

Now you will be crying and you will be searching for me
And after you will be bending in the watchtower
Like the branches of the oleander
That were suffocated by the building sites.
-
Οι Κυριακές στην Κατερίνη 
φεύγουν μαζί με τη βροχή
και τα μπουλούκια οι θεατρίνοι
παίζουν τη Γκόλφω μοναχοί

Και τα φαντάρια σαν κι εσένα
στριφογυρνάνε στο σταθμό
κι όπου ανταμώνουνε με τραίνα 
κάτι τους πνίγει στο λαιμό

Τώρα θα κλαις και θα με ψάχνεις 
κι απέ θα γέρνεις στη σκοπιά
σαν τα κλαδιά της πικροδάφνης 
που την επνίξαν τα γιαπιά
-
Les dimanches chez Catherine
S’écoulent avec la pluie
Et les troupes de baladins
Montent seuls "Golfo"

Et les fantassins comme toi
Flânent dans la gare
Où ils rencontrent des trains
Quelque chose qui les serre à la gorge

Maintenant tu pleureras et tu me chercheras
Et ensuite tu te pencheras à la tour de guet
Comme les branches du laurier rose
Que les chantiers ont noyé
-
Duminicile în Katerini
Pleacă odată cu ploaia
Şi trupele de actori ambulanţi
Joacă Golfo singure.

Şi soldaţii ca tine
Se învârt în gară
Şi oriunde se întâlnesc cu trenuri
Ceva îi sufocă în gât.

Acum vei plânge şi mă vei căuta
Şi apoi te vei apleca în turnul de pază
Ca ramurile leandrului
Pe care le-au sufocat şantierele.

Jon Hopkins - Monsters Theme

iTunes: http://smarturl.it/neverleave CD: http://bit.ly/neverleave-CD
Release Date: 22nd April 2013

Sitting somewhere between Gold Panda, Flying Lotus and Johan Johannsson, Andrew Bayer's second album -- "If It Were You, We'd Never Leave" -- is a 16-track journey through woozy, dreamlike glitch and reflective electronica.

Without a 4/4 beat in sight, this much-anticipated second album showcases the unique abilities of the former Berklee College Of Music student in kaleidoscopic beauty and follows his acclaimed debut album, "It's Artificial", in style. 

From the edgy glitch of "Doomsday" to the ethereal, emotive grooves of the Sufjan Steven-sampling  "Lose Sight" (feat. Ane Brun) through to the epic, cinematic builds of "Gaff's Eulogy" each track tells is own story and stirs with emotion; Bayer blends the organic with the electronic in a way few producers master. A contemplative and absorbing electronica LP, the full journey demands and rewards repeat listens.
