About This Song
About "Trois chansons de Bilitis, L. 90: No. 3, Le tombeau des Naïades" by Anne Sofie Von Otter
The final Bilitis song is a tomb for water nymphs. Von Otter's voice circles the grave with elegiac grace, the piano's arpeggios like dripping cavern water. Desire curdles into loss; the naïads are gone, and only a haunting, beautiful stillness remains.
