He fell for Bach, and never abandoned him: Bach’s music is always with him, and is credited for literally having the power of making the world a better place. Bahrami then fled the Ayatollahs’ regime and came to Italy. He found a meaning for his foolish diaspora in studying the piano with the greatest artists all over Europe. He is now a Bach specialist and one of the most important interpreters of his music. His programme traces an ideal trip to Italy, with the revered Johann Sebastian virtually interacting with contemporary Domenico Scarlatti on questions of form and style in keyboard music. www.simposiosalutemalattia.it www.raminbahrami.comdurata: 90 minuti senza intervallo]]>

MATTHEW BOURNE'S SLEEPING BEAUTY
left1 Bourne’s Sleeping Beauty, a lush gothic tale of grim spells, ethereal fairies and gloomy vampires, starts in 1890, the year of its composition, and then moves forward to the modern day. It gorgeously completes Bourne’s trio of Tchaikovsky’s ballet masterworks that included the sublime all-male version of Swan Lake. Gracefully drawing from both Perrault and Disney, the whimsical British choreographer captivates the audience with amazing sets by Lez Brotherson, lighting by Paule Constable and surround sound design by Paul Groothuis. Bourne’s grand show will reach Ravenna after more than 100 sold-out performances in London. A supernatural love story in flesh and dream set to a powerful score by the musician who infused a soul to ballet music.www.new-adventures.net]]>

CONCERTO TREKKING
left1 One of the green cathedrals we can boast of is the Pinewood of San Vitale, the largest of Ravenna’s pine forests and one of stunning beauty. The pinewood extends on ancient fossil dunes of different heights, from flooded lowlands to higher ridges, waterways and lagoons, which account for the abundance of vegetation types. Natural scenarios for the trek concert will be provided by the pinewood’s typical corners: Ca Vecia, Bassa del Pirottolo, Pialassa Baiona, Buca del Cavedone, Fossatone. A fulesta, the old-time wandering storyteller of Romagna, will tell the tales of Mazapégul, a goblin from folk tradition, to the sound of the ocarina and accordion. He will lead us to the yard of the Ca Vecia, where the party atmosphere will reach its climax with traditional music, dances and food.www.trailromagna.eu]]>

Classica Orchestra Afrobeat re-proposes this milestone of African culture, made into an epic musical suite by Guinean National Bembeya Jazz in 1969. For the first time, their new arrangement includes instruments from European “serious” music alongside the African vocals. This bizarre ensemble boasts a unique tonal palette, a mixture of Baroque and popular styles at the confluence of Europe and Africa, enriched by the vocals of two internationally acclaimed african artists, Sekouba Bambino and griot Baba Sissoko. classicafrobeat.combabasissoko.com]]>

ELOGIO DE "LA FOLIA"
left1 In the essay by Erasmus of Rotterdam, Folly has a voice, and focuses on the debate on the conception of human nature that, from classical culture to the Renaissance, unfolds in the coincidence of opposites, or the dialectics of wisdom and folly. Now the choreographic writing of Simona Bertozzi delivers to the dialogue between bodies the opportunity to rewrite this combination and to variously rename the terms of the comparison as persistence and fragility, rigour and transfiguration, linearity and fragmentation. With the seriousness and the vertigo of those who put themselves at stake. An agreement between enforceable rules and the interstice of vision that found in the works of Corelli a suitable soundscape in which to pay homage to the mathematical force and poetic lightness of his music. simonabertozzi.it]]>

ANUANG'A AND MAASAÏ VOCALS
left1 Vertical energy, raw emotion and amplified gestures: in Feeling & Voices Fernando Anuang’A dances the deepest emotions of his country, Kenya. The power of the old men’s prayers, the stories of the women, the rituals, the love songs and war songs of the Maasai culture merge in a combination of primitive dance styles and modern gestural deconstruction. The Maasai vocalists will sing songs of wedding, birth, daily toils and trance. They will strip their roots bare to tell us of the Kenyan highlands, weaving plots of pure mystical dance. From Africa’s black and vivid heart down to France, where Anuang’A and his seven Maasai dancers have been living and working since 2000, this compelling catharsis of minds and senses will touch land in Ravenna. www.anuanga.com]]>

At seven he performed for President Kennedy (presented by Leonard Bernstein), and his fate was sealed. The odd patchwork of his biography – Chinese origins, French birth, American education – soon made him lose sight of musical genres: at ease with Bach and with Bobby McFerrin, he performs on his precious Petunia, a cello built by Montagnana in 1733, which he takes along unexpected paths straying from classical to country music. yo-yoma.comwww.kathrynstott.com]]>

STEVE VAI & Evolution Tempo Orchestra
left1 We should thank great Jimmy Page since it was after listening to his solo on Led Zeppelin’s Heartbreaker that teenager Steve Vai began playing the guitar. A few years later, aged twenty, Vai was welcomed at the court of Frank Zappa (who dubbed him “my little Italian virtuoso”): that was the start of a stellar career as one of the greatest guitarists in the firmament of rock, a true “Paganini” of the third millennium whose performances regularly send fans into a frenzy. Seeing him perform with a large symphony orchestra and elaborate his dizzying, vibrating “string theories” will prove an unforgettable experience, even for non-aficionados of rock, who will discover an altogether unsuspected dimension of symphony orchestras. vai.com]]>

LAUDI E CANZONETTE SPIRITUALI NELL'ORATORIO DI SAN FILIPPO NERI
left1 Can the songs Christians sing in Italian churches today be called popular? The condescending “all-is-well-as-long-as-you-sing” approach has permitted the uncritical introduction of quite different music models and styles, and the departure from a rich centuries-old tradition of art and faith. Popular is not “pop”. The liturgies we offer, starting from the extraordinary story of St. Philip Neri and his oratorios, propose some examples of genuinely popular liturgies, born among folks as traditional forms of worship, either directly or through the mediation of musicians and composers, as the Missa Luba, arranged by missionary Guido Haazen in 1954, or the Misa Criolla, composed by Argentinean Ariel Ramírez in 1964.]]>

CAPELLA SAVARIA
left1 There is hardly a composer in the history of music that has not drawn either melodies or rhythmic and formal structures from dance. Telemann is no exception – his Overture: Les nations anciennes et modernes is a suite of dance movements which musically illustrate the alleged characters of the German, Swedish and Danish people, and which satirically portray the vieilles femmes. There follows a selection of Hungarian dances of the xviii and xix centuries, either anonymous and found in old collections like the Pozsony manuscript, or only known by their place of origin, like Nagyszombat, the Slovak city of Trnava. Also featuring are some dances by Hungarian composer and violinist Márk Rózsavölgyi, which Liszt highly appreciated in Pest in 1846 and later used in his own Hungarian Rhapsodies. capellasavaria.hu]]>

Urban Trekking
RAVENNA CITTÀ D'ACQUE
left1 In the UN International Year of Water Cooperation, Trail Romagna proposes a city hike through Ravenna’s old and new waterways. A “journey” through the city’s urban and hydrographical stratifications over the centuries, from the Roman to the Byzantine town, from the medieval Ravenna to the city we know today: the hike will rediscover the historical, indelible relationship of Ravenna with its waters, with the aid of interactive and sonorous installations which will take us back to places which are no longer there – mills, abandoned springs, ancient wash-houses, wells... The music of Napolincanto will mark some of the stops, and Gianni Aversano, a talented actor, will relive the hilarious characters of Neapolitan folklore like Pulcinella, to name the most famous one. napolincanto.com]]>

POLKA DAY
left1 Like a farmyard decked out for a party, Ravenna’s public gardens will be transformed into an open-air dance hall. Since the late xix century, dance halls have been the true places of the Romagna heart, marking the pace of life to the music of entire generations. Traditional Romagna’s folk dance music, liscio, will return, released from the reins of sterile philology and still full of its original driving force and extraordinary vitality. The sound of frenzied C clarinets and the mournful voice of the most persuasive saxophones will blend in a relentless procession of polkas and popular tunes: a challenge for the most tenacious dancers, capable of dragging even the most untrained and reluctant listeners to the dance floor.]]>

Thus, upsetting all false hierarchies, “popular” and “art” music traditions met and blended, revealing remote and unsuspected affinities. As in Cries of London, where the humble cries of Old London street vendors evoke the most refined madrigals, or in Naturale, where the complex Sicilian folklore is condensed in the voice of Celano, the last local storyteller, having no less dignity than Dante’s and Sanguineti’s verse featured in Laborintus ii.]]>

BANDITALIANA & FANFARA TIRANA
left1 Born in the xix century in the wake of Straussian waltz, liscio is now a synonym for popular dance. However, its popularity with the lower classes led to the depreciation of its artistic value and classified it as “lower culture”. Riccardo Tesi, starting from his successful album Un ballo liscio (1995), was among the first to highlight the richness of liscio music, its history, melodic quality, rhythmic variety and instrumental virtuosity. In 2010, Claudio Carboni, the saxophonist of Tesi’s band, paid a passionate tribute to Secondo Casadei with the album Secondo a nessuno. Banditaliana now revisits the tradition of the liscio blending it with the rhythms and sounds of Fanfara Tirana, a typical and powerful Albanian wedding band. An explosive encounter between different cultures sharing common characteristics. riccardotesi.comfanfaratirana.com]]>

Men in Motion, debuted at London’s dance temple, Sadler’s Well, is the manifesto of this Ukrainian dancer who, in 2010, aged 30, suddenly left the Royal Ballet giving no reason for his departure. The melancholy and solitary Putrov stages several choreographies made famous by a restless étoile and fellow Ukrainian, the great Nijinsky, alongside some more recent important creations that he proposes with a taste for steely balance and purity of line remindful of Renaissance painting. The male dancer here emerges as a star in his own right, rather than merely an adjunct to the ballerina. putrov.com]]>

& Orchestra Giovanile del Teatro dell'Opera di Roma
left1 Think Burt Bacharach, and Magic Moments, Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head, Paul Newman’s Butch Cassidy and David Niven’s James Bond in Casino Royale automatically leap to mind. One is also reminded of such exceptional interpreters as the Beatles, Dionne Warwick, Aretha Franklin, Tom Jones, Elvis Costello (plus our Mario Biondi and Chiara Civello); of such artists as Stan Getz and Wes Montgomery, who adapted some of Bacharach’s hits as jazz standards. Bacharach, born in 1928, can now boast an almost-60-year career, over a hundred top‑of-the-charts hits in Britain and in the US, three Oscars for best soundtrack and songs in 1970 and 1982: what more do you need for an evening of superb music?]]>

Let’s be dragged into a Waltz that can only move from Vienna, with the Voices of Spring waltz, still echoing its first solo singer, who celebrated the awakening of nature in spring, or with such famous scores as the Pizzicato polka and Light Blood. But let’s not forget our “local” Waltz, with a tribute to the “Strauss from Romagna”, Secondo Casadei.]]>

MILONGA con EL CACHIVACHE
left1 At the beginning of the xx century, the sensual and irresistible rhythm of the Tango landed in Europe and Italy from the remote Rio de la Plata, sparking the ire of right-thinking censorship. Since then the Tango has carved for itself an important place within “art” music. But it is neither from its more or less “educated” revisions nor from its deferential concert form that El Cachivache draw. The four musicians started playing together in 2008 under an ironic name which literally means “junk, scrap”, but they soon made their way up from the venues of Bilbao and Pamplona to Paris first and then to the European milongas. With a rhythmically distinctive repertoire and style, they put dance first: their Tangos, Milongas and Waltzes are a pleasure for the ear, but best enjoyed when dancing.]]>

EQU
left1 A new generation of musicians re-imagines the century that saw the Romagna region give rise to a new type of dance music. Equ’s latest work, Un altro me, blends rock, jazz and blues to take us back in time. “It starts in the evening, from our roots, our thinking that makes us move from where we were to where we are.” The songs of Equ, a band from nearby Santa Sofia that quickly made a name as one of the best Italian groups, are constructed with rare skill. Their poetic density and the evocative power of their lyrics, the sophisticated musical references and the dramatic quality are reminiscent of the best concept albums of the golden age of Italian and British progressive rock, as compelling as a noir d’auteur.]]>

GIANLUIGI TROVESI E GIANNI COSCIA
left1 “A symphony orchestra with all the colours of music... fun and deep at one time.” These are Paolo Fresu’s words on the Trovesi‑Coscia duo, who have delighted many for nearly two decades. Classical and popular music, folk and jazz are a fertile ground for them, and a suitable one for a greatly enjoyable genre-blurring synthesis. In the words of Umberto Eco, a fellow citizen and old friend of Coscia’s, “We are in the presence of a new transversality where distinctions of genre vanish, while a certain attention is paid (and this is something new) to Italian folk music, so that the bringing together of apparently irreconcilable traditions is an appeal to the spirits of musical families that never were.” And the two jazz musicians the world now widely recognises can try their hand at a magical mazurka. gianluigitrovesi.itgiannicoscia.it]]>

CHE COSA SONO LE NUVOLE
left1What are the clouds presents Shakespeare’s Othello as a human puppet show where the characters face life with poetic simplicity and a taste for levity that will not fail in front of the tragic aspects of existence. The short film Pasolini shot in 1967 is the starting point for an investigation of society and the individual in our fierce and vulgar times, devoid of ethics and with no sense of belonging. The result is a fresco fraught with contradictions, a journey “in a dream within a dream” in search of lost humanity. Lupinelli has always weaved his path with diverse people and places: from former psychiatric patients to the members of the Roma community in Scampia to the disabled children of Castiglioncello.]]>

From village festivals to hit parades, to the worldwide success of a simple song like Romagna mia, the fifty‑year creative career of the violinist from Sant’Angelo di Gatteo marked the transition to modernity of a land that founded its own identity on the liscio and on the irreducible enthusiasm of its “maestro”: legend has it that Secondo left his wife and guests at his own wedding party to go and play with his orchestra. He was like that: to him, music always came first.]]>

He was a natural inspiration for church musician and director Tamás Bubnó, who, in 2002, discovered an unknown manuscript of the Liturgy for male choir composed by János Boksay (1874-1940) and decided to found an ensemble named after the Saint to perform the ecclesiastical music of the Byzantine rite. Since then, they have proposed the classics of Slavonic-Orthodox music, alongside such authors as Liszt, Bartók, Kodály, Ligeti and contemporary composers. The choir also performs compositions from the Western Catholic and Protestant liturgical tradition.]]>

Forlì‑born drummer Enzo “Vince” Vallicelli and Orchestra Sinfonica Maderna stage their project in the dance hall in the Gardens: the melancholy and goliardic songs of Côm’un Cân Sôta la Lôna (Like a dog in the moonlight) blend great blues with ethnic digressions and strings, and restore dignity to a language usually relegated to the ghetto of folk music and debasing clichés. Vallicelli, an artist who is always in search of “unbounded sonorities” and whose lyrics sing of man’s rebellion to the malaise of everyday life, thus recovers his own roots.]]>

MISSA LUBA
left1 Can the songs Christians sing in Italian churches today be called popular? The condescending “all-is-well-as-long-as-you-sing” approach has permitted the uncritical introduction of quite different music models and styles, and the departure from a rich centuries-old tradition of art and faith. Popular is not “pop”. The liturgies we offer, starting from the extraordinary story of St. Philip Neri and his oratorios, propose some examples of genuinely popular liturgies, born among folks as traditional forms of worship, either directly or through the mediation of musicians and composers, as the Missa Luba, arranged by missionary Guido Haazen in 1954, or the Misa Criolla, composed by Argentinean Ariel Ramírez in 1964.]]>

Tribute to Michael Jackson
ENRICO RAVA ON THE DANCE FLOOR
left1 Poetry, easy melodies and moments of introspection come together in a touching act of love. With We Want Michael, jazz veteran Enrico Rava unveils the hidden beauty and unexpected complexity of Michael Jackson’s music. Two far‑away worlds thus come together in an extraordinary event, a tribute that preserves the personality of the Italian trumpeter intact. Rava conceived the project soon after Jackson’s death, but it was Mauro Ottolini, who signs the arrangements, who helped realize it. In Rava’s own words: “I have known Michael Jackson’s music since the ’70s, when I lived in New York, but only recently did I realize that I had missed something important. Playing his music just seemed to me the most natural thing to do.” enricorava.com]]>

CASADEI SECONDO me
left1 Although described as “the man who defeated the boogie,” Secondo Casadei availed himself of the sounds and rhythms from overseas and incorporated them into his own language to create a very special “local” swing that became all the rage in post-WWII Romagna. So it is no wonder if Simone Zanchini, an amazing accordionist, proposes his own specially commissioned jazz arrangements of Secondo’s most popular tunes.The music of Sacri Cuori is the folk music of non-existing countries at the crossroads between Romagna and the great spaces of the American Southwest. Theirs is a “one-off” show, inspired by dance hall music and enriched by very special guests, in a short circuit between past, present and future. On with the Lee-Show!]]>

Dada Masilo's SWAN LAKE
left1 Twenty-seven is old enough to make Dada Masilo bold, confident and willing to tackle one of Tchaikovsky’s most traditional and universally beloved ballets in her latest creation: Swan Lake. Dada’s African roots and contemporary vocation surface in the choral bickering of white tutus and ebony skin, which stays true to the classic’s original aura while transforming it through the vivid colours of the South African land: energetic life pulse, humour and the issue of sexes, genders and homophobia in an AIDS-ravaged country. Pointe shoes, swaying hips and tribal rhythm cleverly and courageously combine into a savoury mix.]]>

They also weave in some big names from the xvii and xx centuries: singer and composer Barbara Strozzi (a true singer‑songwriter of the xvii century), great opera composer Francesco Cavalli and Luigi Tenco with Vedrai, vedrai. soqquadroitaliano.it]]>

OMAGGIO A GIUSEPPE VERDI
conductor RICCARDO MUTI
left1 Some music scores have a mysterious expressive force that pulls them from their author’s control and immediately makes them live of their own and enter the legend. This happened to much of Verdi’s music: arias, choruses, symphonies that soon after their first performance left the narrow walls of opera houses to become “common heritage”. They took on the brilliant timbre of street bands, the intimate tone of drawing‑room pianos and even the rough taste of barrel organs. Then they returned to the theatres, charged with a “popularity” that made them an indelible mark of national identity, tiles in a symphonic-choral mosaic Italians can enthusiastically and proudly belong in, as outlined by Riccardo Muti, Verdi’s interpreter par excellence. riccardomuti.comorchestracherubini.it]]>

left1con il patrocinio dell'Unione Comuni Modenesi Area Nord: Camposanto, Cavezzo, Concordia, Finale Emilia, Medolla, Mirandola, San Felice, San Possidonio, San Prospero The urgent “call” that in recent years has prompted the Festival to walk down the paths of friendship to different corners of the world, to cities scarred by war and age-old misunderstanding, to blend the voices of different people under the sign of brotherhood, is heard once again. The destination is neighbouring Emilia, devastated by earthquakes, in a hug for its population who, far from succumbing to despair, are rebuilding their world and facing the “difficult” times the whole country is going through. In the main square of Mirandola, amid open wounds, hundreds of young Emilian instrumentalists and singers, orphaned of their music schools, will join the musicians of the Cherubini and OGI in what the town’s mayor called “a necessary hug for our dignity and rebirth.”]]>

GRAN BALLO BOLOGNESE ALLA "FILUZZI"
left1 A historical walk-through, from the leaping dances of the Bologna Apennines, kept alive by Suonatori della Valle del Savena, to the liscio, the ballroom dancing that spread to the mountains and was adopted by local orchestras (typically violins, bass violin and guitar) ready to renew their formation and repertoire, to the urban-style of Bologna’s Filuzzi. Our guests are Paolo and Marco Marcheselli (guitar and Bolognese accordion) with Antonio Clemente and Loris Brini, exceptional interpreters of the polka chinata (danced with bent knees by two male partners). An unmissable chance to see the leaping dances (hardly seen in Romagna today) and the virtuosity of the waltzes, polkas and mazurkas à la Filuzzi; an opportunity to dance the liscio alongside the simpler dances of the mountain tradition.]]>

"La band regina del funk revival!" London Jazz
PB UNDERGROUND
left1 PBUG, led by star drummer Pete Ray Biggin, is the UK’s hottest funk sensation. The band has taken the UK funk scene by storm building a loyal fan base and sweeping reviewers off their feet in a blitz of energy and ferocious musical talent. The musicians are a who’s who of the hottest session players on the London scene. Biggin is the band’s MD and predominant composer, and a regular performer with Level 42, Incognito, Amy Winehouse, Chaka Khan and Mark Ronson. The rhythm section is the core of the band, guys who make a phenomenal sound together, yet give them a moment to solo and they’ll rip up the musical landscape. The horn players know their funk: in the studio they are a mass of musical invention – they literally ooze creativity and write some of the craziest horn lines you’ll hear. thepbunderground.com]]>

SIDI LARBI CHERKAOUI
m¡longa
left1 “What attracts me most about tango is the eternal embrace of the dancers”: this love for the hypnotic body contact of the Argentinean dance strikes its roots in the early career of Cherkaoui, the 37 year old Flemish choreographer widely acknowledged as a major voice on the international scene. This cross-cultural, cross-disciplinary poet of contemporary dance loves the sexuality, power and beauty with which tango has captivated the world and, with a talented cast of Argentinean dancers and live musicians, he pioneers in the first international large-scale production about tango to be directed by a non-Argentinean. The intimate, late night bar atmosphere of Buenos Aires milongas thus blends with a contemporary touch of tango fusion dance under the creative and passionate perspective of a foreigner. www.sadlerswells.com]]>

LA BANDA
left1 For at least two centuries, in Apulia, marching bands have been the best school for professional music training. Bands celebrate all civil and religious occasions, and contribute to spread the opera repertoire in its transcriptions for wind instruments. But the band from Ruvo, guided by Pino Minafra, is more than this: owing to a versatility that allows tackling the most different languages, it started fruitful collaborations with some major jazz musicians. The programme starts from the traditional repertoire (conducted by Michele Di Puppo), then moves on to a journey through experimentation conducted by Pino Minafra with the collaboration of Livio Minafra (piano and accordion) and female vocal quartet Faraualla.]]>

She has also promoted a number of younger musicians, and her annual festival has launched many young pianists who have made the news. She holds countless recitals “with friends”, in which she approaches different languages and styles, bringing together traditional Jewish music, Messiaen, Debussy, Piazzolla, Schumann and the tango: a clever way of reminding us that Music – with a capital M – is one. www.marthaargerichpresents.com]]>

Lonerism (meaning something like “splendid isolation”) marked a leap forward for the band, with its even more cosmic and evocative feel. This pure 2.0 psychedelia recalls with no easy nostalgia the “endless summer” of the ’60s: the persuasive vintage keyboards and vocals by lanky, freaky Kevin Parker will get you lost in a thrilling sound experience and make sure you have no desire to find a way out. www.tameimpala.com]]>

VIOLINI DI SANTA VITTORIAVIOLINI DI SANTA VITTORIA
left1 Santa Vittoria, near Gualtieri, was known as the country of the hundred violins. At the turn of the xix and xx centuries, this small corner of the Reggio Emilia province, on the banks of the Po river, was home to a tradition of dance orchestras or “concertos” consisting of mere strings (three violins, viola and double bass), which contributed to the diffusion of the new couple dances from Central Europe: waltz, polka, mazurka. The members of these orchestras were often humble labourers: for them, music making was not only a source of extra income, but also a vital aspect of social life and an instrument for emancipation. Their repertoire is back, preserved by such family orchestras as Concerto Bagnoli, active between the ’20s and ’30s of the xx century.]]>

MELODRAMMA BALLABILE
left1 When Giuseppe Donati from Budrio produced the first ocarina in 1853, Verdi had already staged his most famous and beloved titles, and the waltz, which had broken into the halls of the European high bourgeoisie more than half a century earlier, was regaining its original popular feel. This is not to measure the level of “contamination”, but to establish the moods of the time when the opera left theatres for main squares and the waltz infiltrated Verdi’s opera (and not only his). And the ocarinas organised into “orchestras”, adopting both styles, the opera and the waltz, mixing traditional peasant dances with the nobler dances penned by the great composer. Two undisputed masters of radio entertainment will lead us along the paths of the “mélovalzer”.]]>

Morris wraps the notes of Bach, Hummel, Cowell and Harrison in his imaginative modern style, giving melodies a lead role in his creations. Dance thus becomes an orchestral harmony of figures, motion and sound, awakening strong and conflicting emotions: from the fierce visceral energy of Grand Duo to the tender elegy of Candleflowerdance, the Seattle choreographer’s productions, spanning over two decades, triumphantly stage the joy, malice and sensuality hidden in the folds of sheet music. markmorrisdancegroup.org]]>

Composers as Chopin, Liszt and Brahms recognized themselves in a concept of people seen as the custodian of an archaic heritage and a collective “genius” to be preserved as the foundation of the Romantic nation. In Russia, musical nationalism is often associated with The Mighty Five, a circle of composers led by Balakirev, whose bewitching Islamey is an oriental fantasy inspired by a trip to the Caucasus. If in the Romantic era “popular” meant little more than an ideological suggestion, Bartók openly made use of the notes he took during his research on folk music, basing his Romenian Folk Dances on tunes from Transylvania.]]>

RICCARDO MUTI conductor
left1 As Verdi himself noted in his autobiographical sketch, “this is the opera with which my artistic career really begins.” A “beginning” built on a brilliant intuition on a line in a libretto he had very reluctantly accepted: “Va pensiero”, the chorus of the Hebrew slaves, is a true gem in an opera that instantly gave voice to the unexpressed aspirations of the oppressed Italian people. The deep sense of dignity emerging from these verses inspired by Psalm 137 and from the opera’s other choruses makes Nabucco a sort of oratorio, foreshadowing, in Giuseppe Mazzini’s words, the advent of an “unknown young man who perhaps in some corner of our land, even while I’m writing, is stirred by inspiration and revolves within himself the secret of a musical epoch.” Verdi, precisely. riccardomuti.com]]>

The magical space of Palazzo San Giacomo, Russi, will be a suitable venue for a top‑quality sound melting pot showcasing extraordinary brass bands: from Boban and Marko Markovich’s gleaming “well‑tempered” brasses to the world-fusion Kabatronics project, which mixes Albanian kaba (improvisation) with reggae, for the first time in Italy. And finally the traditional sounds of Jewish festivities mixed with pop, folk and jazz by NY-based Klezmatics. transglobalunderground.net]]>

MACBETH
left1Shakespeare’s plays still sit on his bedside table near the scores of his beloved quartets: Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. Verdi’s estate in Sant’Agata is unchanged: the composer’s steps still echo in the rooms, and the worn‑out pages of his beloved books tell the story of his deep affinity for another great man of the stage. The villa, Roncole and Busseto will provide the scenery for Falstaff in the shots by the young artists of VerdiWeb. The contrast between Othello’s black skin and the pallor of innocent Desdemona will blend into a similar contrast of darkness and light, while Macbeth’s mad lust for power will be consumed between vision and reality. This unmissable trilogy will close the bicentenary of Verdi’s birth with a celebration of the “study of the soul” and a sample of great theatre.
