Clarinet Concerto In A Major, K. 622: Adagio
Richard Stoltzman
9:25Oh, gods of love, how far I've traveled on my dangerous path I go to meet my husband At his side will stand Hippolytus How shall I hide my thick, adulterous passion for This youth who has rejected me and knows the truth? Will he not draw his sword and strike me dead? Suppose he spares me What if nothing said? Can I kiss these ears with this ample poise? The very dust rises to disabuse my husband, to defame me and accuse And only I want to die Death will give me freedom Oh, it's nothing not to live Death to all the unhappy is no catastrophe
