  • I Silenti the Next Creation of Fabrizio Cassol and Tcha Limberger Directed by Lisaboa Houbrechts
    I SILENTI THE NEXT CREATION OF FABRIZIO CASSOL AND TCHA LIMBERGER DIRECTED BY LISABOA HOUBRECHTS Notre Dame de la détérioration © The Estate of Erwin Blumenfeld, photo Erwin Blumenfeld vers 1930 THE GOAL For several years Fabrizio Cassol has been concentrating on this form, said to be innovative, between concert, opera, dance and theatre. It brings together several artistic necessities and commitments, with the starting point of previously composed music that follows its own narrative. His recent projects, such as Coup Fatal and Requiem pour L. with Alain Platel and Macbeth with Brett Bailey, are examples of this. “I Silenti proposes to be the poetical expression of those who are reduced to silence, the voiceless, those who grow old or have disappeared with time, the blank pages of non-written letters, blindness, emptiness and ruins that could be catalysers to other ends: those of comfort, recovery, regeneration and beauty.” THE MUSIC Monteverdi’s Madrigals, the first vocal music of our written tradition to express human emotions with its dramas, passions and joys. These Madrigals, composed between 1587 and 1638, are mainly grouped around three themes: love, separation and war. The music is rooted, for the first time, in the words and their meaning, using poems by Pétraque, Le Tasse or Marino. It is during the evolution of this form and the actual heart of these polyphonies that Monteverdi participated in the creation of the Opera as a new genre. Little by little the voices become individualized giving birth to “arias and recitatives”, like suspended songs prolonging the narrative of languorous grievances.

I tried to compose elegant and romantic music to frame my comedies in contrast to the tramp character, for elegant music gave my comedies an emotional dimension. Musical arrangers rarely understood this. They wanted the music to be funny. But I would explain that I wanted no competition, I wanted the music to be a counterpoint of grave and charm, to express sentiment, without which, as Hazlitt says, a work of art is incomplete. (...) Nothing is more adventurous and exciting than to hear the tunes one has composed played for the first time by a fifty piece orchestra.“ - Charles Chaplin 3 WELKOM De magie van Charlie Chaplin blijft ook na bijna 100 jaar fantastisch indrukwekkend, ontroerend en hilarisch.

  • Decca Discography
    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>V VIENNA, Austria, Germany, Hungary, etc. The Vienna Philharmonic was the jewel in Decca’s crown, particularly from 1956 when the engineers adopted the Sofiensaal as their favoured studio. The contract with the orchestra was secured partly by cultivating various chamber ensembles drawn from its membership. Vienna was favoured for symphonic cycles, particularly in the mid-1960s, and for German opera and operetta, including Strausses of all varieties and Solti’s “Ring” (1958-65), as well as Mackerras’s Janá ček (1976-82). Karajan recorded intermittently for Decca with the VPO from 1959-78. But apart from the New Year concerts, resumed in 2008, recording with the VPO ceased in 1998. Outside the capital there were various sessions in Salzburg from 1984-99. Germany was largely left to Decca’s partner Telefunken, though it was so overshadowed by Deutsche Grammophon and EMI Electrola that few of its products were marketed in the UK, with even those soon relegated to a cheap label. It later signed Harnoncourt and eventually became part of the competition, joining Warner Classics in 1990. Decca did venture to Bayreuth in 1951, ’53 and ’55 but wrecking tactics by Walter Legge blocked the release of several recordings for half a century. The Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra’s sessions moved from Geneva to its home town in 1963 and continued there until 1985. The exiled Philharmonia Hungarica recorded in West Germany from 1969-75. There were a few engagements with the Bavarian Radio in Munich from 1977- 82, but the first substantial contract with a German symphony orchestra did not come until 1982.
