John-Henry Crawford - Beethoven 7 Variations on 'Bei Männern, welche Liebe fühlen', WoO 46

Recorded Spring 2017, Evanston Illinois
John-Henry Crawford, cello
Victor Santiago Asuncion, piano

Mozart Magic Flute Aria:

Pamina:
Bei Männern, welche Liebe fühlen,
fehlt auch ein gutes Herze nicht.
Papageno:
Die süßen Triebe mitzufühlen,
ist dann der Weiber erste Pflicht.
Beide:
Wir wollen uns der Liebe freu’n,
wir leben durch die Lieb’ allein.
Pamina:
Die Lieb’ versüßet jede Plage,
ihr opfert jede Kreatur.
Papageno:
Sie würzet uns’re Lebenstage,
sie wirkt im Kreise der Natur.
Beide:
Ihr hoher Zweck zeigt deutlich an:
nichts Edler’s sei, als Weib und Mann.
Mann und Weib, und Weib und Mann,
reichen an die Gottheit an.

Beautiful! Just read If My Cello Could Talk. Amazing history! I came across your name while continuing my 40+ years of family history research and wanted to hear you play that fantastic cello. We are 6th cousins 1x removed through your great-grandmother, Mary Anderson, with whom I share a maiden name.

Dear John-Henry....As I have already said in response to some of your other posts, I think that yours is a rare talent, and that you are headed for a great career. At the age of seventy-two, I am much your senior. But I shall nonetheless take the liberty of asking you to view and/or listen to some of my YouTube posts -- the Boccherini G major concerto with orchestra, short pieces such as Fauré's "Après un r^eve"and "E'légie, " Cassadò's "Requiebros", all six Bach Suites (of which three are videos, and the rest are audio only), whatever else you may happen upon; and then to let me know what you think. I'm curious to know your opinion. Just to give you some idea of my background: I studied cello with (among others) Maurice Gendron at the Conservatoire in Paris, and with Aldo Parisot at the Yale University School of Music; and before I came to live in Italy back in 1980, I was the professor of cello at Iowa State University. Thanks in advance...!
