La Valse

Part 2 of my in-depth look at the song cycle "Camille Claudel: Into the Fire" by Jake Heggie and text by Gene Sheer!

"La Valse" is an incredible sculpture, full of movement and angst and grace and sensuality. I forgot to mention that Debussy (a good friend, if not lover, of Camille) had a copy of this on his mantel. Jake, a huge admirer of Debussy, absolutely pulled from his amazing sound world in writing this cycle.

"Console my eyes with beauty ... "

Indeed!
