autumn repopulates an entire lost world. nothing can change that loss is a constant dialogue with everything that is present another rebirth begins, engaging with kindness toward all that says no longer to be

l’autunno ripopola tutto un mondo perduto niente vi cambia qualcosa la perdita è un dialogo costante con tutto ciò che è presente un’ennesima rinascita che si impegna con benevolenza verso tutto ciò che dice di non essere più

As we're slowly preparing for Advent (playlist is ready for each and every Sunday), I thought it was the best moment to share with you this gem:

Aksel Rykkvin was only 13 and a boy treble in Oslo's Cathedral Choir, when he recorded this well-known aria of Haendel's Samson oratorio. I am not very sure he is aware of what is happening to him here (something that happens all the time with writers, singers, actors, etc), but the result is simply spectacular. So spectacular, in fact, that you'd quickly forget and forgive a light falsetto and the understandable lack of depth.

For those keen enough to compare, the best rendition is Dame Joan Sutherland's, of course. A wonderful, mature, supremely mastered voice. But we're talking about something completely different, here. This is pure grace and there wasn't a single dry eye in that Oslo concert hall by the end of that concert.

Spectacular and fragile. Almost immediately after this recording, his voice changed. He is now a very good barytone I am closely following on socials (oh, yes, there isn't only OL in this life!).

I am creating a dark academia playlist to use while studying and reading books and I already have a wide range of numbers and songs, from austrian and russian waltzes to the hymn of the Cherubim.
