Anna Akhmatova
Music (1958)
(For Dmitri Shostakovich)
Something miraculous burns in music;
as you watch, its edges crystallize.
Only music speaks to me
when others turn away their eyes.
When fearful friends abandoned me
music stayed, even at my grave,
and sang like earth’s first shower of rain
or flowers suddenly everywhere alive.
Translated by Paul Schmidt
Sabine Weyer is an internationally celebrated pianist whose partnership with composer Nicolas Bacri recently culminated in her fifth album, Mysteries. The album features works by Bacri himself as well as by Nikolai Myaskovski, a Russian composer who was once projected to be one of the most well-remembered composers during our time but who fell into obscurity after being accused of formalism by the Soviet Union. Weyer’s album, along with an accompanying mini-documentary, aims to delve into the history of Myaskovski’s psyche and uncover the complex questions and emotions hidden within both composers’ music.
Join renowned pianist Sabine Weyer on her journey to discover the life and music of Nikolai Myaskovsky,
a composer whose name was almost washed away by the tides of history even as his influence lived on for generations.

Je crois que Mayakowski était le beau-frère Elsa Tiolet ....?
“You live! You live, and every stone of yours
Is a legend cherished by generations.
I used to sit in the shade of a corner
Tower and watch an autumn ray of sun
Play with moss that grew in a damp fissure,
And from their nest hidden in the eaves,
Out flew swallows – strangers to human beings –
Up and down, circling, swirling, dashing
Around. And I, so full of the will of passions,
Envied them their life of obscurity,
A life celestial, like hope – and free."
By Mikhail Lermontov, from Five Poems about Moscow. Translated by Katherine E. Young
