About This Song
About "Le Nozze di Figaro, K. 492, Act III: Canzonetta sull'aria" by Bernard Haitink
Haitink draws out a hushed canzonetta from Act III, two voices floating over a plucked accompaniment like sunlit dust motes in a darkened hall. The tension lies in its very gentleness—a lullaby that knows the storm is coming.
