Dr. Lecter looks at the instrument, opening and closing his hands. He approaches his newly acquired harpsichord as he might approach an attractive stranger via an interesting light remark—he plays an air written by Henry VIII, “Green Grows the Holly.” Encouraged, he essays upon Mozart’s “Sonata in B Flat Major.” He and the harpsichord are not yet intimate, but its responses to his hands tell him they will come together soon. The breeze rises and the candles flare, but Dr. Lecter’s eyes are closed to the light, his face is lifted and he is playing.

Thomas Harris, Hannibal.

Petre Munteanu, Bruna Rizzoli

Francesco Molinari’Pradelli, Orchestra del Teatro di San Carlo Napoli

Tornami a dir che m'ami, dimmi che mia/mio tu sei; quando tuo ben mi chiami la vita addoppi in me. La voce tua sì cara rinfranca il core oppresso: sicuro/sicura a te dappresso, tremo lontan da te.

Turn to me and tell me you love me Tell me that you are mine When you call me your beloved Life redoubles in me.

Your voice, so dear, Revives the opressed heart: Safe while close to you, I tremble when far from you.
