He has twice been nominated for the Grammy Awards, the most prestigious recording prize: in 1997 for “Vivaldi, Concerti per molti Stromenti”, and in 2000 for his recording of Corelli’s Concerti Grossi , newly rediscovered by him. In 2009 he conducted and recorded the world premiere of Salieri’s Mondo alla Rovescia. Alongside his active conducting career, he is also extremely busy as a musicologist. He is a member of the musicological committee of the Istituto Italiano Antonio Vivaldi, and has published many musicological essays and critical editions. He is the author of the study Vivaldi’s Music for Flute and Recorder (2002), translated by Michael Talbot and published in the UK by Ashgate (2007). He is general editor of the collection of facsimile editions Vivaldiana and of the Opere Incomplete (SPES, Florence).

The genus just newly created is celebrated everywhere. Not quite. For in Romee were allowed operas for decades heard exclusively in a closed society. The Papal State, who wanted to seem virtuous achieved at least outwardly like all these stories about love, lust, passions and all the ancient heroes and gods was morally rather questionable.

  • Stanley Ritchie (29.07.-03.08.2019) Violin & Chamber Music with Strings
    Individual courses: Stanley Ritchie (29.07.-03.08.2019) Violin & Chamber Music with strings Stanley Ritchie, a pioneer in the Early Music field in America, was born and educated in Australia, graduating from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in 1956. He left Australia in 1958 to pursue his studies in Paris, where he was a pupil of Jean Fournier, continuing in 1959 to the United States, where he studied with Joseph Fuchs, Oscar Shumsky and Samuel Kissel. In 1963 he was appointed concertmaster of the New York City Opera, and then served as associate concertmaster of the Metropolitan Opera from 1965 to 1970. From 1970 to 1973 he performed as a member of the New York Chamber Soloists, and from 1973 played as Assistant Concertmaster of the Vancouver Symphony until 1975, when he joined the Philadelphia String Quartet (in residence in the University of Washington in Seattle) as first violinist. In 1982 he accepted his current appointment as professor of violin at Indiana University School of Music; in 2016 he was promoted to the rank of Distinguished Professor. His interest in Baroque and Classsical violin dates from 1970 when he embarked on a collaboration with harpsichordist Albert Fuller which led to the founding in 1973 of the Aston Magna summer workshop and festival. In 1974 he joined harpsichordist Elisabeth Wright in forming Duo Geminiani – their 1983 recording of the Bach Sonatas for Violin and Obbligato Harpsichord earned immediate critical acclaim. He has performed with many prominent musicians in the Early Music field, including Hogwood, Gardiner, Bruegghen, Norrington, Bilson and Bylsma, and was for twenty years a member of The Mozartean Players with fortepianist Steven Lubin and cellist Myron Lutzke.

INTRODUZIONE La Serenata à 3, RV 690, nota anche con l’incipit «Mio cor, povero cor», compo‑ sta da Antonio Vivaldi presumibilmente verso la fine della seconda decade del Settecento, è dedicata al «Mar[quis] du Toureil». Nel 1982 Michael Talbot, in un articolo sulle serenate vivaldiane, avanzò l’ipotesi – accolta con favore dagli stu‑ diosi e fino a oggi mai confutata – che il misterioso dedicatario fosse identificabile con l’abate tolosano Jean de Tourreil e che il testo della serenata fosse l’allegoria del processo cui fu sottoposto per ordine del Sant’Uffizio romano a causa della sua affiliazione al giansenismo.1 Recenti studi, però, hanno rivelato che tra il 1715 e il 1726 a Venezia visse un certo marchese «Anna Marco de Torel», cavaliere francese, che nell’autunno del 1717 tenne a battesimo Daniel Mauro, nipote di Antonio Vivaldi, nato dal matri‑ monio tra Cecilia, sorella del compositore, e il copista di musica Giovanni Antonio.2 Il suo nome esatto era Anne‑Marc Goislard du Toureil e certamente questi è il «Mar[quis] du Toureil» citato da Antonio Vivaldi sul frontespizio della Serenata à 3.

  • “Hecho Siervo De La Gloria De Otros, Infeliz Argumento De Nuevas
    “Hecho siervo de la gloria de otros, infeliz argu- mento de nuevas historias”. Comentarios a pro- pósito del Motezuma de Giusti-Vivaldi Octavio Páez Granados Université de Genève/ Universidade de Coimbra Suiza/ Portugal Resumen: La figura del emperador azteca Moctezuma Xocoyotzin, a menudo asociado a la imagen de “víctima del destino y objeto de las circunstancias”, ha sido motivo de numerosas tentativas de construc- ción de un personaje. Me propongo trazar un recorrido que comienza con algunos cronistas que se ocuparon del episodio de la conquista de México y que dieron pie a nuevas versiones del evento, con Moctezu- ma como protagonista. Me ocuparé del Motezuma propuesto por el poeta veneciano Alvise Giusti, autor de Motezuma dramma per musica (1733) y puesto en partitura por el compositor Antonio Vivaldi: inspi- rado en la Historia de la conquista de México (1684) del español Antonio de Solís y Rivadeneyra, nos presenta un Moctezuma susceptible de ser leído como alegoría de una masculinidad en crisis, como alternativa al tipo de lecturas que hacen de él un personaje-emblema asociado a los imaginarios coloniales y nacionales. Palabras clave: Moctezuma, Crónicas de Indias, Antonio de Solís y Rivadeneyra, dramma per musica, Alvise Giusti, Antonio Vivaldi. “Made a Servant of the Glory of Others, Unhappy Argument of New Stories”. RemarKs on Giusti-Vivaldi’s Motezuma Abstract: The figure of the Aztec emperor Moctezuma Xocotzin, often associated with the image of a “victim of destiny and object of circum- stances”, has been the subject of numerous attempts of character con- struction. I propose to trace a journey that begins with some chro- niclers who gave accounts of the episode of the conquest of Mexico, and which gave rise to new versions of the event with Moctezuma as protagonist.
