Music can lift us up from the darkest places of our Souls
When I first saw the opera Tosca by Giacomo Puccini I cried my eyes out
This arrangement and recording of ‘Vissi d’arte’ on the violin is very special and personal to me
I hope my playing gives you the love and healing it has given me.

I lived for art, I lived for love,
I never harmed a living soul!
With a discreet hand
I relieved all misfortunes I encountered.
Always with sincere faith
my prayer
rose to the holy tabernacles.
Always with sincere faith
I decorated the altars with flowers.
In this hour of grief,
why, why, Lord,
why do you reward me thus?
I donated jewels to the Madonna’s mantle,
and offered songs to the stars and to heaven,
which thus did shine with more beauty.
In this hour of grief,
why, why, Lord,
ah, why do you reward me thus?
