    Alberto Ginastera en Wikipedia http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberto_Ginastera Alberto Ginastera video photos / fotos (sitio compositores & Intérpretes) http://www.ciweb.com.ar/Ginastera/ Biografia Nació en Buenos Aires, Argentina, el 11 de abril de 1916. Murió en Ginebra, Suíza, el 25 de junio de 1983. Su primer trabajo importante fue el ballet Penambí, que lo hizo conocido en toda Argentina. De 1945 a 1948 abandona su país debido a su pésima relación con Perón. Va para Estados Unidos, donde estudia con Copland y Tanglewood. Cerca de 1956 expande su estilo musical más allá de los límites de la nacionalidad. Es la época de excelentes trabajos. En 1969 sale nuevamente de Argentina y va a vivir en Ginebra, Suíza. Su música es esencialmente tradicionalista. Una ecléctica síntesis de técnicas de varias escuelas musicales está evidente en su composición más famosa, la ópera Bomarzo. Quedó famoso como compositor de fuerte sentimiento nacionalista, a pesar de haber influencias de la música internacional que se producía en Europa después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Su obra puede ser dividida en 3 períodos: nacionalismo objetivo, nacionalismo subjetivo y neo-expresionismo. Sus primeros trabajos pertenecen al primer período. Él caracterizó ese período como una etapa de "nacionalismo objetivo" en el cual las características de la música folklórica se reproducían abiertamente. Usa el folklore argentino y es influenciado por Stravinsky, Bartok y Falla. Son de este período: Danzas Argentinas op. 2 para piano, Estancia (ballet), las Cinco Canciones Populares Argentinas, Las horas de una estancia y Pampeana nº 1. El estreno de la suite orquestal de su ballet Estancia, consolidó su posición dentro de Argentina.

NOTAS AL PROGRAMA QUINTETO Para piano y cuarteto de cuerdas, Op. 29 El «Quinteto» Op. 29 me fue encargado por la señora Jeannette Arata de Erize, presidente del Mozarteum Argentino, con destino al Quinteto Chigiano de Siena, quien estrenó la obra ei 13 de abril de 1963 en el teatro La Fenice de Venecia durante el Festival de Música Contemporánea que se realizaba en dicha ciudad. En este «Quinteto», como lo señalaron algunos mu- sicólogos estudiosos de mi obra, se manifiestan cla- ramente algunas de mis preocupaciones más anhe- lantes en el campo de la creación musical: la elabo- ración de un lenguaje personal en su textura, la bús- queda de nuevas estructuras que se acomoden al idioma sonoro actual y la adaptación del discurso musical a un procedimiento de escritura basado en el máximo empleo de las posibilidades de los instru- mentos y en el realce del virtuosismo de los intérpre- tes. Los movimientos tradicionales de las obras de cá- mara que respondían a las exigencias de la música tonal están aquí reemplazados por cuatro estructuras que conservan el carácter del allegro, scherzo, ada- gio y final, pero cuya forma está dada por los proce- dimientos derivados de la técnica «post-serial».

  • Bomarzo - Opera En 2 Actos Y 15 Cuadros
    Bomarzo - Opera en 2 actos y 15 cuadros Alberto Ginastera Libreto de Manuel Mujica Láinez Basada en su novela homónima del escritor Obra encargada por Hobart Spalding, presidente de la Opera Society de Washington. Estrenado: 19 mayo 1967, Washington DC, Lisner Auditorium, con dirección de Julius Rudel, Regie de Tito Cappobianco. Intérpretes: Salvador Novoa, Isabel Penagos, Joanna Simon, Claramae Turner. Estreno Sudamericano, Teatro Colón, 1972 El argumento narra la vida de Pier Francesco Orsini, duque de Bomarzo, perteneciente a una noble familia romana, de cuya historia real existen pocos datos y por esto mismo resulta el personaje ideal para ser recreado por el escritor Manuel Mujica Láinez (1910-1984) que le da una nueva vida, literaria pero verosímil, rescatándolo así del anonimato. El protagonista da pie para evocar a toda una serie de personajes históricos que componen un impresionante fresco del Renacimiento italiano tardío, el del siglo XVI, conocido allí como“cinquecento”. Siglo XVI. El Duque de Bomarzo, Pier Francesco Orsini, cuyo aspecto y pecados se reflejan en las figuras de piedra en su jardín, bebe una poción para conseguir la inmortalidad, pero es envenenado. Ve pasar distintos episodios de su vida pasada, su infancia despreciada, su horóscopo siniestro, su unión con una cortesana, la provocación de su padre, su fracaso al tratar de salvar a su hermano de la muerte en el Tiber, y en consecuencia, su reinado como Duque, con sus celos y asesinatos. Ambientada en la Italia renacentista es una minuciosa reconstrucción del ambiente que dominaba aquel entonces en el mundo de los condottieri, prelados, artistas y hombres del pueblo.

He took up the bandoneon, the central instrument in the Ar- gentine tango, and also studied classical piano. Upon his return to Argentina he began to perform with tango orchestras, but also studied composition with the great Alberto Ginastera. He formed his first orchestra in 1946 but disbanded it as his music became more experimental. Piazzolla's music of the time shows the influence of Bartok and Stravinsky, but with some Argentine elements like the inclusion of two bandoneons in the orchestral work Buenos Aires.

Se trata de 54 composiciones, todas ellas numerados por el autor, a las que cabría añadir varias creaciones tempranas que Ginastera eliminó del mismo. Ahí quedan, repudiadas, algunas que los intérpretes aún hoy se empeñan en ejecutar, como .es el caso de las Impresiones de la puna; o que merecieron distinciones, tal la Sonatina para arpa, premio de la Comi­ sión Nacional de Cultura; o la Sinfonía porteña, que en 1942 fue estrenada por un director del relieve de Fritz Busch.1 Queda igualmente al margen toda la música incidental realizada en el curso de dieciocho años, de 1940 a 1958, para teatro y cine,1I así como transcripciones realizadas por Ginastera de su propia obra o de otro autor.8 La existencia de toda esa música, en gran parte inédita, nos mueve a ocuparnos, en un trabajo futuro, de su estudio, con miras a realizar una aproximación valorativa y buscar las razones que movieron a su autor a desecharla.

Introduction Electric Junk: Krautrock’s Identity Crisis If there is any musical subculture to which this modern age of online music consumption has been particularly kind, it is certainly the obscure, groundbreaking, and oft misunderstood German pop music phenomenon known as “krautrock”. That krautrock’s appeal to new generations of musicians and fans both in Germany and abroad continues to grow with each passing year is a testament to the implicitly iconoclastic nature of the style; krautrock still sounds odd, eccentric, and even confrontational approximately twenty-five years after the movement is generally considered to have ended.1 In fact, it is difficult nowadays to even page through a recent issue of major periodicals like Rolling Stone or Spin without chancing upon some kind of passing reference to the genre.

Although she is a master conductor of the established classics, as a Uruguayan by birth and upbringing she is a particularly persuasive Panambí • Estancia champion of Latin American music, notably the works of Ginastera, Revueltas, Piazzolla, and Luis Bacalov, and is widely regarded as one of the world’s most dedicated and idiomatic exponents of this repertoire on account of her many recordings and festivals. In demand internationally, Gisèle Ben-Dor has worked with the Rotterdam (Complete Ballets) Philharmonic, Bern Symphony, Brabant Symphony, Jerusalem Symphony, Orchestre de Cannes as well as others in France, Israel and the United States. She has led the New York Philharmonic, London Symphony, London Luis Gaeta, Narrator/Bass-baritone Philharmonic, English Chamber Orchestra, BBC NOW, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Boston Pops, New World Symphony, Israel Philharmonic, Israel Chamber Orchestra, Helsinki Philharmonic, Houston Symphony, Minnesota Orchestra and Orchestre de la Suisse Romande among many others in the United States, Europe, Australia, and London Symphony Orchestra • Gisèle Ben-Dor Latin America.
