Berlioz: Le carnaval romain Overture, Op. 9

2 AM: A Nocturne

A Winter's Song - a delicate waltz to celebrate the beauty of winter.

Immerse yourself in a serene winter wonderland with Valeska and the River’s latest piano composition. Transporting listeners to the most tranquil moments of winter, where the world hushes into untroubled calmness, Valeska and the River’s composition captures the ephemeral magic when snow blankets the landscape, momentarily concealing the stresses of life. As the delicate piano notes gently cascade, a mesmerizing string arrangement beckons the audience to embark on a melancholic dance through a snowy forest—a waltz with nature itself. This evocative musical journey is more than just a composition; it's an enchanting escape into the heart of a peaceful winter sanctuary."

Written, performed and produced by Valeska Rautenberg
Mixed by Thomas Lemmer
Mastered by Ramin Tehrani

Stories of the Naiades could take the form of cautionary tales with unhappy endings. The Naiad, Nomia, fell in love with a handsome shepherd named Daphnis and could not do enough for him. He repaid her love with unfaithfulness and she repaid his inconstancy by blinding him. The Naiades of a spring in Bithynia (Mysia) took a liking to Hylas (companion of Heracles) and lured him into their waters. The cautionary element is uncertain here. The fate of Hylas could have been either an abrupt death by drowning or everlasting sexual bliss.
