Forest violets and forget-me-nots by Isaac Levitan, 1889 (Wikiart.org)
We associate artist Isaac Ilyich Levitan (30 August 1860 – 4 August 1900: aged 40) with mood or lyrical landscapes, but he also left lovely paintings featuring flowers.
I am very tired and must rest, but I am thinking of you.
Love to everyone 💕
The music is Rachmaninoff‘s (1873 – 1943)
Rachmaninoff Vespers – 3 Blessed is the Man (Psalm 1)

Thank you, Micheline. This evening I am listening to Rachmaninov – All Night Vigil Op. 37 a part of which was featured on your latest blog post. I adore the basso profondo, as you know.

The All-Night Vigil is a masterpiece, and Russia produces this extremely deep voice. So does Bulgaria. The basso profondo contributes to the rich sound of Eastern choral pieces. That last note of the section we heard is haunting and somewhat ‘divine.’ I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’m so thankful to Rachmaninov. What I want to say now is: Amanda, God be with you always. 💕
