    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 26, 2016 Contact: Katherine E. Johnson (212) 875-5718; [email protected] BERNARD LABADIE TO RETURN TO NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC TO CONDUCT ALL-MOZART PROGRAM Flute Concerto No. 2 with Principal Flute ROBERT LANGEVIN Exsultate, jubilate with Soprano YING FANG in Her Philharmonic Debut Symphony No. 31, Paris Symphony No. 39 December 1–3, 2016 Bernard Labadie will return to the New York Philharmonic to conduct an all-Mozart program: the Flute Concerto No. 2, with Principal Flute Robert Langevin as soloist; Exsultate, jubilate with soprano Ying Fang in her Philharmonic debut; Symphony No. 31, Paris; and Symphony No. 39. The program takes place Thursday, December 1, 2016, at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, December 2 at 8:00 p.m.; and Saturday, December 3 at 8:00 p.m. The concerts open with three youthful works written when Mozart was 17, 21, and 22 years old, and close with the darker Symphony No. 39, written three years before his death. A leading specialist in the Baroque and Classical repertoire, Bernard Labadie led Mozart’s Requiem in his most recent appearance with the Philharmonic, in November 2013. The New York Times described this performance as “glowing … one of the most cohesive I have heard.” These concerts will mark Principal Flute Robert Langevin’s first of Mozart’s Flute Concerto No. 2 with the Philharmonic. Soprano Ying Fang has been acclaimed for her performances of Mozart, including her Metropolitan Opera debut in The Marriage of Figaro in September 2014, and Don Giovanni with The Juilliard School in April 2012.

  • Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli Il Divo ASCETA
    Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli Il divo ASCETA Vezzi, capricci. manie. Il terrore degli organizzatori per l'eccentricità e le cancellazioni. A 20 anni dalla scomparsa del pianista, un testimone ne rivela invece il profilo spirituale francescano, il rigore anticonsumista di artigiano della musica di Carlo Piccardi iò che più sorprese alla morte di Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, nel Cgiugno 1995, fu il funerale nella chiesetta di Pura (il villaggio presso Lugano in cui da anni abitava), con una cerimonia priva di fasto e l’inumazione in una modesta tomba, per sua volontà, priva di lapide. La cronaca di quella circostanza servì a gettare una luce di verità sulla sua vicenda esistenziale e artistica. Essa rivelava la religiosità di un uomo al servizio della musica, intesa non come ideale estetico ma concepita come transizione verso una dimensione di profondo spessore spirituale, sulla spinta del sentimento meditato e circoscritto al modello francescano dell’umiltà, della sobrietà e della rinuncia. Sapere che si circondava solo dell’essenziale in una camera spoglia, con un libro di meditazioni, un rosario accanto al letto e un crocefisso alla parete faceva capire molte cose. Faceva capire soprattutto il dramma di un artista più di altri consapevole della vanità del mondo, costretto per mestiere a confrontarsi con le sue regole fatue. In verità proprio la sua coerenza, il suo rigore nel TM Amadeus Amadeus 71 Più rifuggiva dalla mondanità e più diventava argomento di pettegolezzo, più esigeva in fatto di condizioni ottimali e più appariva eccentrico mettere tutto al servizio non del rapporto parte nel tutto. Ora sappiamo che tale potuta essere trasmessa se egli si fosse ipnotizzante col pubblico ma del messaggio riduzione alla dimensione artigianale non assoggettato alle regole che ai moderni musicale, lo portarono a essere male era solo un mezzo per ottenere abbaglianti interpreti impongono frenetici itinerari interpretato, a subire oltre misura la esiti sonori, ma anche la realizzazione di un concertistici, ossessivamente cadenzati da divinizzazione.

    News from Primo Artists | March 2017 View this email in your browser PERLMAN LEADS THE PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA WITH AN "INCREDIBLY DEFT TOUCH" AND IS SET TO TOUR WITH MARTHA ARGERICH IN MARCH 2018 On March 15th and 16th, Itzhak Perlman play/conducted concerts with the Philadelphia Orchestra to standing ovations and top praise from The Philadelphia Inquirer. “The Mozart work took on an emotional deliberation that suggested the late Nikolaus Harnoncourt. Clearly, Perlman – who conducts with a contained Ormandyesque beat – had worked on a series of attractively evolving textures in the symphony. Primary themes spoke with a highly inflected sense of purpose. In the Dvorak 8, Perlman gave a Viennese lilt to the mysterious waltz music of the third movement, which was an incredibly deft touch.” Primo announces the first-ever tour of Itzhak Perlman and Martha Argerich in the 2017-18 season! Two living legends reuniting for a tour of the United States, surely one for the records. March 2018. 6 concerts. 5 cities. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Washington D.C. and New York.
