Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943):
Lullaby
Bruce Robinson, piano
Rachmaninoff performed Lullaby on his final concert tours. He recorded the piece in his last recording sessions, in 1942, although RCA released it only in 1973.
This is a transcription of the song of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) to a poem by Apollon Maykov (1821-1897) from his Modern Greek Songs, 1860. The lyrics to the song are shown in the video. The complete lyrics are below.
Tchaikovsky dedicated the song to Nadezhda Rimskaya-Korsakova, the wife of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, who was expecting a child.
She had transcribed his Romeo & Juliet for piano duet.
Lyrics to Tchaikovsky's song:
Sleep, my child, hushabye, sleep!
Welcome sweet dreams.
Nannies three watch over you:
Wind, sun and eagle.
The eagle flew home;
The sun disappeared under the water:
The wind, after three nights,
Races to his mother.
Wind’s mother asks him:
“Where have you been hiding?”
“Were you playing battle with the stars?
Or just pushing the waves around?"
"I didn’t drive the waves of the sea,
I didn’t touch the golden stars;”
“I kept a baby safe and sound,
Rocking its cradle!"
Sleep, my child, hushabye, sleep!
Welcome sweet dreams.
Nannies three watch over you:
Wind, sun and eagle.
