Boléro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boléro is a one-movement orchestral piece by Maurice Ravel. Originally composed as a ballet commissioned by Russian ballerina Ida Rubenstein, the piece, which premiered in 1928, is Ravel's most famous musical composition.[2] Before Boléro, Ravel had composed large scale ballets (such as Daphnis et Chloé, composed for the Ballets Russes 1909–1912), suites for the ballet (such as the second orchestral version of Ma Mère l'Oye, 1912), and one-movement dance pieces (such as La Valse, 1906–1920). Apart from such compositions intended for a staged dance performance, Ravel had demonstrated an interest in composing re-styled 
dances, from his earliest successes (the 1895 Menuet and the 1899 Pavane) to his more 
mature works like Le tombeau de Couperin (which takes the format of a dance suite).

Boléro epitomises Ravel's preoccupation with restyling and reinventing dance movements. It was also one of the last pieces he composed before illness forced him into retirement: the two piano concertos and the Don Quichotte à Dulcinée song cycle were the only compositions that followed Boléro.

*Lascia ch’io pianga* - (Let me weep my cruel fate)
Georg Friedrich Händel, Rinaldo
Philippe Jaroussky
Almirena’s aria

Lascia ch’io pianga mia cruda sorte
 E che sospiri la libertà!
 Il duol infranga queste ritorte
 de’ miei martiri sol’ per pietà.

Let me weep
 my cruel fate,
 and sigh for liberty.
 May sorrow break these chains
 Of my sufferings, for pity’s sake.

Laß mich mit Tränen mein Los beklagen,
 Ketten zu tragen, welch hartes Geschick!
 Ach, nur im Tode find’ ich Erbarmen,
 er gibt mir Armen die Ruh’ zurück.

Piano Sonata No. 17 in D minor, Op. 31 No. 2 III. Allegretto — Ludwig van Beethoven

A keyboard masterpiece by the greatest English composer Henry Purcell (1659 - 1695). Performed by Anton Batagov (piano) in 2013.
This piece could have been the ultimate soundtrack for any postmodern movie.
Michael Nyman's music from THE DRAUGHTSMAN'S CONTRACT written 30 years ago is a contemporary meditation on this GROUND. I love Nyman's version but I think the original Purcell's piece sounds even fresher today ...
