The Mirror Of Love

Written by The Enid | 09 April 2012

Robert John Godfrey's The Mirror Of Love: Voted 65 in Classic FM Hall Of Fame 300.

3rd Higest new entry

Robert in a youthful performance of Brahms Concerto No2

Based on his original composition of forty years ago, The Lovers, this new and extended visualisation of his youthful "Rachmaninoveske" composition looks back at young and painful love as RJG puts it, "through the other end of the telescope".

His inspiration for this new composition is Sonnet 76 by Shakespeare.

This composition along with "The Art Of Melody" will appear on Robert's forthcoming album of piano music entitled "The Art Of Melody" and both are currently available for download on Amazon and on iTunes.

Janes Birthday Dinner at The Lodge

Both compositions were also performed by Robert and the CBSO at Symphony Hall Birmingham in October 2011. You can watch the video here and purchase a CD of the entire concert - recorded by Abbey Road - here.

See what's being said about it on the Classic FM Hall Of Fame.

SONNET 76

That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou seest the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west,
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed whereon it must expire
Consumed with that which it was nourish'd by.

This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well which thou must leave ere long.

Live with the CBSO at Symphony Hall, Birmingham.
