Paris 1903, Camille Claudel-Rainer Maria Rilke, La Rencontre

Athens Palace Music Library, October 9, 2024. What if Rilke, knocking on the door of Rodin's studio, did not meet him?

Athens Megaron Music Library,  October 9, 2024.

And what if Rilke, knocking on the door of Rodin's studio, did not meet him?

If the door had been opened by his muse, the great (and according to some even greater) Camille Claudel, then what would these two have discussed,  about Art, Love, the nature of Woman?  A personal selection of French songs from the previous century contained in my album "Nuits Embaumées" and published by the prestigious record company Subways Music, accompanied  on the piano by the excellent  Dimitris Vezyroglou, formed the core of the musical-theatrical recital that  presented at the Music Library of the Athens Megaron on October 9 and at the Cultural Center of Heraklion on October 16, 2024.

Excerpts from the letters of R M Rilke and the works of Lou Andreas Salome were used for the texts.
