  • Gerry Mulligan Discography
    GERRY MULLIGAN DISCOGRAPHY GERRY MULLIGAN RECORDINGS, CONCERTS AND WHEREABOUTS by Gérard Dugelay, France and Kenneth Hallqvist, Sweden January 2011 Gerry Mulligan DISCOGRAPHY - Recordings, Concerts and Whereabouts by Gérard Dugelay & Kenneth Hallqvist - page No. 1 PREFACE BY GERARD DUGELAY I fell in love when I was younger I was a young jazz fan, when I discovered the music of Gerry Mulligan through a birthday gift from my father. This album was “Gerry Mulligan & Astor Piazzolla”. But it was through “Song for Strayhorn” (Carnegie Hall concert CTI album) I fell in love with the music of Gerry Mulligan. My impressions were: “How great this man is to be able to compose so nicely!, to improvise so marvellously! and to give us such feelings!” Step by step my interest for the music increased I bought regularly his albums and I became crazy from the Concert Jazz Band LPs. Then I appreciated the pianoless Quartets with Bob Brookmeyer (The Pleyel Concerts, which are easily available in France) and with Chet Baker. Just married with Danielle, I spent some days of our honey moon at Antwerp (Belgium) and I had the chance to see the Gerry Mulligan Orchestra in concert. After the concert my wife said: “During some songs I had lost you, you were with the music of Gerry Mulligan!!!” During these 30 years of travel in the music of Jeru, I bought many bootleg albums. One was very important, because it gave me a new direction in my passion: the discographical part. This was the album “Gerry Mulligan – Vol. 2, Live in Stockholm, May 1957”.

  • Arrigo Boito
    Servizio Toponomastica Progetto “ CHI SONO ?” note sui nomi delle vie di CESENA Scheda relativa a : ARRIGO BOITO Poeta, narratore e compositore Arrigo Boito è noto per il suo melodramma "Mefistofele" e per i suoi libretti d'opera. Arrigo Boito nasce a Padova il 4 febbraio 1842; dal 1854 studia violino, pianoforte e composizione al Conservatorio di Milano. Terminati gli studi si reca a Parigi con Franco Faccio dove prende contatto con Gioacchino Rossini, quando questi viveva alla periferia della capitale francese; successivamente si sposterà in Polonia, Germania, Belgio e Inghilterra. Torna a Milano e dopo un periodo nel quale si presta a compiere svariati lavori, nel 1862 scrive i versi per l'"Inno delle Nazioni" che successivamente verrà musicato da Giuseppe Verdi per l'Esposizione Universale di Londra. Seguono anni di lavoro, interrotti solamente per due mesi nel 1866 durante i quali, con Faccio ed Emilio Praga, Arrigo Boito segue Giuseppe Garibaldi nella sua azione nel Trentino. Nel 1868 alla Scala di Milano viene rappresentata la sua opera "Mefistofele", basata sul "Faust" di Goethe. Al suo debutto l'opera non viene accolta benevolmente, tanto che provoca disordini e scontri per il supposto implicito "Wagnerismo". Dopo due rappresentazioni la polizia decide di interrompere le esecuzioni. Boito successivamente rivedrà drasticamente l'opera, riducendola: la parte di Faust, scritta per baritono, verrà riscritta in chiave tenorile. La nuova versione viene rappresentata al Teatro Comunale di Bologna nel 1876 e ottiene un grande successo; unica fra le composizioni di Boito, entra nel repertorio delle opere ancor oggi rappresentate e registrate con maggiore frequenza. Negli anni successivi Boito si dedica alla stesura di libretti per altri compositori.
