That beautiful recitative in which the prophet describes the desolation of Jerusalem he bathed in a flood of tears which brought tears to everyone's eyes. THAT BEAUTIFUL RECITATIVE IN WHICH THE PROPHET DESCRIBES THE DESOLATION OF JERUSALEM HE BATHED IN A FLOOD OF TEARS WHICH BROUGHT TEARS TO EVERYONE'S EYES
s a young girl crying--portraying all her mannerisms--at another point he's a priest, he's a king, he's a tyrant--he threatens, commands, loses his temper. He's a slave. He obeys. He calms down, he laments, he complains, he laughs--never straying from the tone, rhythm, or sense of the words or the character of the song. All the men pushing wood had left their chess boards and gathered around him. The windows of the café were filled up on the outside by passers-by who'd been stopped by the sound. People gave out bursts of laughter strong enough to break open the ceiling. But he didn't notice a thing. He continued, in the grip of some mental fit, of an enthusiasm so closely related to madness that it's uncertain whether he'll come out of it. It might be necessary to throw him into a cab and take him straight to the lunatic asylum. As he was singing snatches from Lamentations by Jomelli, he brought out the most beautiful parts of each piece with precision, truth, and an incredible warmth.
