1 I costruttori del nuovo ponte organizzano un concerto di beneﬁcenza al Carlo Felice di Redazione 26 Novembre 2019 – 20:04 Genova. Un evento nato per esprimere la vicinanza alla città, con la più antica istituzione musicale italiana e il carismatico direttore venezuelano Gustavo Dudamel. E’ il concerto dell’orchestra nazionale dell’Accademia di Santa Cecilia organizzato dai costruttori del nuovo ponte sul Polcevera, la società PerGenova con Salini Impregilo e Fincantieri insieme alla Giovine Orchestra Genovese, in programma lunedì 16 dicembre alle ore 20.30 presso il Teatro Carlo Felice a Genova. Il concerto, che si svolge nell’ambito della stagione GOG 2019/2020, è sponsorizzato dal consorzio che destinerà gli incassi della vendita dei biglietti in beneficenza. Il programma della serata prevede la Sinfonia da Semiramide di Gioachino Rossini, la Sinfonia n. 2 Franz Schubert e, dopo l’intervallo, la Sinfonia n. 1 di Johannes Brahms. Un concerto diretto da uno dei nomi più importanti della musica classica mondiale, applaudito da centinaia di milioni di persone per le sue esibizioni dal vivo ma anche per le sue collaborazioni trasversali con il cinema, la televisione e la radio. Gustavo Dudamel è stato infatti notato fin da giovanissimo dai più importanti direttori, tra cui Simon Rattle e Claudio Abbado. Dopo una formazione in patria con El Sistema, l’innovativo programma didattico musicale avviato da José Antonio Abreu, ha avviato una folgorante carriera che lo ha condotto, appena ventottenne, a salire stabilmente sul podio della Filarmonica di Los Angeles. Nel 2017 Dudamel guida i Wiener Philharmoniker nel popolarissimo Concerto di Capodanno, onore riservato alle personalità più eminenti della scena mondiale. Ammirarlo sul podio della storica Orchestra di Santa Cecilia fondata nel 1585, alla cui guida da oltre un quindicennio c’è Sir Antonio Pappano, sarà dunque un’occasione unica per apprezzarne il temperamento vibrante e le indiscusse doti Genova24.it - 1 / 2 - 28.09.2021 2 interpretative. L’orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia è stata la prima in Italia a dedicarsi esclusivamente al repertorio sinfonico, promuovendo prime esecuzioni di importanti capolavori del Novecento. Dal 1908 a oggi l’Orchestra ha tenuto circa 15.000 concerti collaborando con i maggiori musicisti del secolo: è stata diretta, tra gli altri, da Mahler, Debussy, Strauss, Stravinskij, Sibelius, Hindemith, Toscanini, Furtwängler, De Sabata e Karajan. I suoi direttori stabili sono stati Bernardino Molinari, Franco Ferrara, Fernando Previtali, Igor Markevitch, Thomas Schippers, Giuseppe Sinopoli, Daniele Gatti e Myung-Whun Chung. Dal 1983 al 1990 Leonard Bernstein ne è stato il Presidente Onorario. Grazie all’attuale Direttore Musicale Sir Antonio Pappano, il prestigio dell’Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia ha avuto uno slancio straordinario, ottenendo importanti riconoscimenti internazionali.

Integrated Balance Sheet 2019
Integrated balance sheet 2019 2019 was a unique year for the Accademia. 2019 marked the 15th year anniversary of M Antonio Pappano’s appointment as musical director to the Accademia. It was important to celebrate this anniversary since it is thanks to Mr. Pappano’s patient and passionate work with the orchestra, Mr. Visco and his choir, as well as his great collaboration with all of the Academia’s different ensembles ‐ in particular with the artistic direction‐ and his constant and productive dialogue with the administration/presidency, that the artistic ensembles were able to achieve a growth of international level. Visiting the world capitals from the several tours that were organized, using new technology that allowed the Accademia to reach new audiences( for instance thanks to the PappanoinWeb), and carrying out an in depth repertoire analysis, ranging from classical to contemporary music, were all strategies that created new opportunities for the Accademia to develop culturally, grow the admiration of members, partners and journalists, and mature artistically. The Accademia will always have immense gratitude and admiration towards Mr. Pappano, since without him all of this would not have been possible. On this note, the new symphonic season has the mark of the musical director, launching it with his signature phrase “Caro Pubblico!” In fact, it is this very greeting that Mr. Pappano usually uses to welcome audiences, ready to witness a new performance, within a new stylistic framework that seeks to touch their heart/feelings; just a few words used to accompany the audience into a new musical journey. In the new symphonic season, this kind of greeting will be used at start of every performance, either by Mr.

Bolognafestival 2011
BOLOGNAFESTIVAL 2012 XXXI EDIZIONE Antonio Pappano e l’Orchestra di Santa Cecilia inaugurano Bologna Festival con l’Ottava di Bruckner Il concerto inaugurale della 31ª edizione di Bologna Festival, domenica 18 marzo ore 20.30 al Teatro Manzoni, vede impegnati Antonio Pappano e l’Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia nell’Ottava Sinfonia di Anton Bruckner, pagina dall’immenso respiro cosmico che trova in Antonio Pappano un interprete in grado di creare una grandiosità senza retorica. Sir Antonio Pappano è direttore musicale dei complessi ceciliani dal 2005 e del Covent Garden di Londra dal 2002, dopo esser stato direttore musicale nei teatri di Bruxelles e Oslo. Guida la “sua” orchestra nel grande repertorio sinfonico e ora affronta l’Ottava di Bruckner: una grande prova per un’orchestra che qui assume dimensioni smisurate. In questa Sinfonia del 1889, il fluire del discorso musicale bruckneriano suona insieme estatico e tragico, a momenti quasi pre-espressionista. Al clima misterioso del primo movimento segue uno Scherzo di grande effetto, con folgoranti esibizioni degli ottoni; di vaste dimensioni l’Adagio che con il suo tema cromatico assume caratteri wagneriani; squilli e fanfare segnano il grandioso Finale, dall’incedere ben ritmato. Antonio Pappano. Direttore musicale dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia dal 2005, Antonio Pappano è Music Director del Covent Garden dal 2002, oltre ad esser stato direttore musicale del Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie di Bruxelles e della Norske Opera di Oslo, teatro del suo debutto internazionale. Nato a Londra nel 1959 da genitori italiani, ha studiato pianoforte, composizione e direzione d’orchestra negli Stati Uniti.

Forgotten Artists: an Occasional Series by Christopher Howell 26
Forgotten Artists: An occasional series by Christopher Howell 26. Willy Ferrero (1906-1954) Index of all articles in this series Child prodigy conductors Never have the young had it so good. Some such banal phrase comes to mind during the not infrequent TV programmes involving cutthroat competition between miniscule musicians, popular and classical. In the case of not-yet-teen boy tenors and similarly diminutive girl soul singers, I pass to vocal experts who are better equipped than I am to assess the physical damage being done. Child prodigy instrumentalists, usually pianists or violinists, have speckled the pages of musical history. Psychologists will have different views on where the borderline falls between outrageous exploitation and allowing the child to express a natural gift, which obviously should not be repressed. A reasonable number of ex-prodigies do become professional musicians later on. A few become the great musicians of their age. But what about child conductors? The TV contests seem to have spared us child conductors, but a spot of googling brings a few contemporary instances to light. A long way further back, the ferocious young man in the image above comes from a French postcard of 19041. If it is based on a real prodigy conductor, he might have been the youngest and the first. It could, however, be the artist’s subtle take on the infantile tantrums of some mature maestros. Looking over the twentieth century, the case everyone remembers is that of Lorin Maazel, who conducted the University of Idaho orchestra at the age of eight and the NBC Symphony Orchestra when he was eleven.

Verdi's La Forza Del Destino
Verdi’s La forza del destino - A survey of the studio and selected live recordings by Ralph Moore Despite its musical quality, variety and sophistication, La forza del destino is something of an Ugly Duckling among Verdi’s mature works, and it is for that reason that I did not survey it when I previously covered most of Verdi’s major and most popular operas. It suffers from a sprawling structure whereby succeeding scenes can seem disjointed, some peculiar motivation, an excess of disguise, an uncertain tone resulting from an uneasy admixture of the tragic and the would-be comical, and the presence of two characters with whom, for different reasons, it is difficult to empathise. Don Carlo suffers from a pathological obsession with revenge resulting in his stabbing his own sister as an “honour killing”; his implacable bloodlust is both bizarre and deeply repugnant, while Preziosilla must be one of the most vapid and irritating cheerleaders in opera. “Rataplan, rataplan” – rum-ti-tum on the drum, indeed; it takes a special singer to transcend the banality of her music but it can be done. Although it is just about possible to argue that guilt and shame are at the root of their behaviour, it is mostly inexplicable to modern audiences that Alvaro and Leonora separate after her father’s accidental death and never again try to reunite until they meet again by chance – or fate - in the last scene set five years later. Verdi attempts to lighten the relentlessly grim mood by the inclusion of a supposedly comic character in Fra Melitone who often isn’t very funny – and what is the point of Trabuco, a superfluous peddler? Finally, what the heck is an Incan prince doing in Seville, anyway? While fully aware of its failings, I have returned to La forza del destino because it contains some marvellous music and the kinds of emotional turmoil and dramatic confrontation which lie at the heart of opera.

Orchestra Nazionale Dell'accademia Di Santa Cecilia
domenica 15 settembre 2002 ore 21 Auditorium Giovanni Agnelli Lingotto Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia Myung-Whun Chung, direttore Dmitry Sitkovetsky, violino Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) Concerto in re maggiore op.61 per violino e orchestra allegro ma non troppo – larghetto – rondò Terza Sinfonia in mi bemolle maggiore op.55 (Eroica) allegro con brio – marcia funebre, adagio assai – scherzo, allegro vivace - finale, allegro molto L’Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia è stata la prima in Italia a dedicarsi esclusivamente al reperto- rio sinfonico, promuovendo prime esecuzioni di importanti capolavori del Novecento (tra cui le Fontane di Roma e i Pini di Roma di Respighi). L’Orchestra ha tenuto circa 14.000 con- certi collaborando con i maggiori musicisti del secolo: è stata diretta, tra gli altri, da Mahler, Debussy, Strauss, Stravinskij, Hindemith, Toscanini, Furtwängler, De Sabata e Karajan.

Verdi's Don Carlo
Verdi’s Don Carlo: a partial survey of the discography by Ralph Moore Introduction The CLOR discography lists 165 recordings of Don Carlo (or should that be Don Carlos? - more of that anon). A couple of live recordings in German were made before the first one in Italian, live from the Met 1950, with a cast headed by Jussi Bjőrling, then there was a whole slew of live and radio recordings throughout the 50’s from the Met and various Italian opera houses, punctuated by the first studio account conducted by Santini in Rome in 1954, with a stellar (and Stella) cast including Gobbi and Christoff. This still stands up remarkably well despite its age and some casting weakness. Santini was again at the helm for the next studio recording in 1961 with an even finer cast, then Solti recorded the Five Act version for Decca in 1965. For so great and popular an opera, Don Carlo has received very few studio recordings; Giulini followed in 1971, Karajan in 1978, Abbado in 1983-84, Levine in 1992 and Haitink in 1996. Only Abbado’s was in French, and Richard Farnes recorded an English version for Chandos in 2009. Thus, so far, we have had a grand total of only nine studio versions: seven in Italian, one in English and only one of the original French version, yet the catalogue is teeming with live performances. No survey can encompass so many, nor have I considered DVDs. However, I assess below some twenty-seven audio accounts, having restricted my choice to the nine studio recordings plus a sampling of live performances, including the three live recordings of original Five Act versions in French; the rest are variously either of the Four or Five Act versions in Italian.
