  • Ottorino Respighi, Musicista Geniale Ed Estroverso a 130 Anni Dalla Nascita
    Ottorino Respighi, musicista geniale ed estroverso a 130 anni dalla nascita. di Giuseppe Testa Ottorino Respighi è, tra i compositori italiani del secolo scorso, quello che trovò diffusione e fama internazionale sin dall’inizio della sua carriera. E’ ricordato soprattutto per i tre poemi sinfonici romani, capolavori della letteratura sinfonica del ‘900 italiano, ma è anche stato un apprezzato musicologo. Respighi nasce a Bologna il 9 luglio 1879, inizia gli studi del pianoforte e del violino con il padre Giuseppe, studi che continua al liceo musicale di Bologna, dove è allievo di F. Sarti per il violino e la viola, C. Dall’Olio per il contrappunto e la fuga, L. Torchi e di G. Martucci per la composizione. E’ proprio Martucci che lo interessa alle forme sinfoniche e cameristiche dei romantici tedeschi, sino ad allora poco praticate in Italia. Si Diploma in violino nel 1899 e in composizione nel 1901 al liceo musicale di Bologna. Subito dopo si trasferisce in Russia dove ricopre il posto di prima viola dell’orchestra del Teatro Imperiale a San Pietroburgo, studiando per cinque mesi con Nikolaj Rimskij-Korsakov con cui può approfondire lo studio della sinfonia e del poema sinfonico, evidenziando la tendenza al descrittivismo e l’abilità nel trattamento dell’orchestra. Nel 1902 è accompagnatore in una scuola di canto a Berlino, dove conosce Ferruccio Busoni ed ha modo di studiare con Max Bruch. Ma la sua attività principale fino al 1908 è quella di violista, solo dopo si dedica alla composizione. Nel 1911 torna in Italia per sostituire il suo maestro L.

  • Wuthering Heights Artist Biographies Jesse Blumberg (Mr
    Wuthering Heights Artist Biographies Jesse Blumberg (Mr. Lockwood) Baritone Jesse Blumberg is an artist equally at home on opera, concert, and recital stages. Last season, he performed the role of the Celebrant in Bernstein's Mass at London's Royal Festival Hall under the baton of Marin Alsop, debuted with Boston Lyric Opera as Harlekin in Ariadne auf Naxos, and performed recitals in Paris with the Mirror Visions Ensemble. In 2007, he created the role of Connie Rivers in The Grapes of Wrath (recorded by P.S. Classics) at the Minnesota Opera, and later made his Utah and Pittsburgh Opera debuts in the same production. Other recent appearances include leading and featured roles with Annapolis Opera, Opera Delaware, Opera Vivente and the Boston Early Music Festival. In concert, Jesse has been a featured soloist with American Bach Soloists, Los Angeles Master Chorale, Sacred Music in a Sacred Space and the Berkshire Choral Festival. He has also given the world premieres of two important chamber works: Ricky Ian Gordon's Green Sneakers (recorded by Blue Griffin Recording) and Lisa Bielawa's The Lay of the Love and Death, the former at the Vail Valley Music Festival, and the latter at Alice Tully Hall. He has toured with the Mark Morris Dance Group and the Waverly Consort, and given recitals for the Marilyn Horne Foundation. Last season, he and pianist Martin Katz performed Schubert's two monumental song cycles, Die schöne Müllerin and Winterreise, over one weekend in Ann Arbor, and will soon repeat this pairing in New York City. Jesse has been recognized in many song and opera competitions, and in 2008 was awarded Third Prize at the International Robert Schumann Competition in Zwickau, becoming its first American prizewinner in over thirty years.

  • L'opera Italiana Del Novecento
    PIERO MIOLI L'OPERA ITALIANA DEL NOVECENTO MANZONI MILANO, 2018 PREMESSA Cento anni: così Giuseppe Rovani volle intitolare il suo grande romanzo storico-ciclico, narrando vicende comprese fra il 1750 e il 1849 e fra l’altro largheggiando di curiose situazioni e riflessioni musicali (l’edizione definitiva del libro è del 1868-69); e così dovrebbe pur chiamarsi questo sommario panorama del '900 teatro-musicale italiano, nonostante tutti gli imbarazzi che presiedono a tali quadrature cronologiche e tutti i rischi che esso corre fornendo forse più dati che idee. Cent’anni, un secolo, un lungo segmento temporale tutto sommato finito da poco: ma se la fine di questo fatidico '900 si trova a sfumare nell’inizio del secolo seguente, il '100 del Duemila che è in corso, altrettanto si deve riconoscere oggi e si sarà asserito allora del suo inizio sfumato dalla fine del secolo precedente. Nell’impossibilità, dunque, di fissare un avvio riferibile a un preciso fattore di carattere sociale, civile, culturale, per non dire artistico e musicale, sarà provvedimento modesto e rassegnato ma almeno utile e chiaro quello che accetta di dare l'inizio al semplicissimo 1901 e la fine all'altrettanto schietto 2000, permettendosi il credibile lusso di procedere qualche anno ancora. L’imbarazzo non viene a mancare, s’intende, né s’abbassa il rischio, ma da parte sua, almeno, la matematica non ammette né repliche né sfumature. Prima di pervenire al corpo del discorso diacronico, descrittivo, impostato insomma come una giusta suddivisione in periodi, è però sembrato bene fornire degli schizzi storico-culturali che sappiano inquadrare degnamente, si spera, le fasi storiche del genere, un genere significativo ma assai esigente come il teatro d’opera italiano: dunque il diverso “panorama” sincronico promesso dall’indice comprende gli elementi generali, alcuni fenomeni particolari, i luoghi teatrali nel loro complesso e qualche teatro in vista più di altri, ovviamente e principalmente le prime culle della nuova produzione operistica.

  • 2018 Winter Festival America, Inspiring: Respighi & Prokofiev
    NOTES ON THE PROGRAM BY LAURIE SHULMAN, ©2017 2018 Winter Festival America, Inspiring: Respighi & Prokofiev ONE-MINUTE NOTES Chen Yi: Ge Xu (Antiphony). Chen Yi’s music fuses Chinese traditions with Western forms and instruments. Ge Xu is based on the antiphonal singing with which the Southern Chinese celebrate the Lunar New Year. The piece is about high spirits and hope. PROKOFIEV: Piano Concerto No. 3. Romanticism, classicism and modernism are finely balanced in Prokofiev’s dazzling Third Concerto. The second-movement variations, based on the Baroque gavotte, reveal his quirky melodic gift, while hisbiting humor surfaces in the finale. RESPIGHI: Pines of Rome and Fountains of Rome. Respighi’s famous tone poems are brilliant orchestral evocations of the Eternal City. Fountains evokes the interplay of water and light at various times of day. The more landscape-oriented Pines delves into imagined recollections of Rome’s glory days. The brass in the finale will raise the hairs on the back of your neck! CHEN YI: Ge Xu (Antiphony) CHEN YI Born: April 4, 1953 in Guangzhou, China. Currently resides in Kansas City, Missouri. Composed: 1993–94 World Premiere: January 28, 1995, in San Francisco NJSO Premiere: These are the NJSO premiere performances. Duration: 8 minutes As with other Chinese-American composers, Chen Yi’s life and philosophy were formed by China’s Cultural Revolution. Her parents were both well-to-do physicians with a keen interest in music. Chen studied both violin and piano from age 3. In the late 1960s, she was sent to the Chinese countryside to do forced labor.
