Rainy Friday.

@Shoreline exit

날씨 때문에 자전거는 포기하고
아예 느지막이 출근하는데
때마침 잊고 있던 Inger Marie 노래가 나온다.

Phone.

오랜만에 아이폰.

2016.

for God has already approved what you do.

크고 작은 고민이 많아서인지
요즘 이 연주를 자꾸 듣게 된다.



"It is impossible to explain, to those who have not experienced the wonder of his playing of this piece, its rapt beauty and fascination.

- Walter Legge


''Broken by fatigue, scarcely breathing, Mr. Lipatti yet had the courage to play that Bach chorale, which, for him, was a prayer..."

- Madeleine Lipatti
