FLAWLESS!!! IMPECCABLE!!!

[tdavidray]

Oh, Verdi!

I found it again, thanks anyway.

[tdavidray]

Who's arrangement is this? It took me sooo long to even a recording of this arrangement and I cannot remember which composer's Ave Maria this is.

Someone help!

[amlirco]

Nothing can be done and there's no need to. Totally different semantic languages and no understanding. Казах Праведен, не религиозен. Job and artist are not words that I could use together.

Of course, she doesn't pray for me personally, I'm not that "silly", she just prays for me. And I don't wish, I know...

[Klytemnest]

But that's just the point. She is not religious. She has said so herself. YOU are the one projecting YOUR own sense of spirituality, whatever it may be, onto her - because you wish it were so. She is not praying. She is certainly not praying for you. She is an artist who understands the emotion of her character. That's what artists do. If you feel that she is praying for you, then she has done her job as an artist. The credit goes to her artistry, NOT to her religiosity. Dovizhdane.

[amlirco]

You are free, of course, to speak for yourself but not to suggest what others may feel, be driven by, or mean.

Equally, if I feel she prays for me you are not the one to judge my own state of mind or spirituality. Everyone sees what can see. It's neither your fault nor mine.

As for Bulgarian, what about this proverb: "Крадецът вика: „Дръжте крадеца!" or in your case: Безбожникът вменява безбожие на Праведния. No bad feelings though.

[amlirco]

Oh, believe me I understand your sense of superiority and gladly leave you the winning position. But I'd be forgiven if cannot be delighted with your narrow-minded urge to reduce the importance of the deep and multilevel implication of the Raina Kabaivanska's art. You are the one that projects your own disbelieve onto her interpretation and motivation. This to my mind is dangerous and wicked.

[Klytemnest]

Whatever..

[Klytemnest]

No. It is not "lie and pose". It's artistry. You are merely projecting. You WISH Raina were praying for you. She isn't. She is simply being Desdemona, a frightened woman who feels that death may be around the corner . It has nothing to do with you. I understand what you mean. When I listen to great artists I also feel as if they are singing directly to me, for me. It's fine to be poetic about this experience, but at the same time, let's not be silly...

[Klytemnest]

Yes. It's called artistry. Would you expect anything less of an artist like Raina?

Likewise, allow me to caution you not to project your own emotions and sense of spirituality onto others. Dangerous and wicked indeed.
