Chopin in Majorca was recorded at The Velvet Tongue
Studios in Johannesburg 1989. In those studios Sinclair Beiles is heard reading his
play, a poetic counterpart of George Sand’s ‘Un hiver à Majorque’, in which the
author (whose real name was Amantine-Lucile-Aurore Dupin) relates the
disastrous winter that she and her lover Frédéric Chopin spent on the island in
1838-1839. In an effort to counterbalance George Sand’s self-centred account,
Beiles’ tries to picture in his one-man play what the winter on Majorca must
have looked like from Chopin’s point of view. More here.Saturday, May 11, 2019
