    www.ginoquilico.com Photo L. Robitaille GINO QUILICO… EN TOUTE ommuniqué INTIMITÉ Le célèbre baryton québécois Gino Quilico, qui a fait le tour des scènes les plus prestigieuses, travaillé avec Cles chefs les plus distingués et fait paraître une vingtaine d’albums acclamés par un public fidèle, s’arrêtera dans plusieurs villes du Québec pour nous offrir son nouveau spectacle Serata d’Amore. Il mettra alors en relief son plus récent album, Serata d’Amore, paru en octobre dernier, et numéro 1 au palmarès des ventes de musique classique au Canada pendant les 2 premières semaines qui on suivi sa sortie. Pour ce concert, le célèbre baryton puise son inspiration dans les lieux où il a vécu et la réminiscence de quelques-uns des géants musicaux qu’il a côtoyés tout au long de sa carrière fascinante. Dans des chansons allant des plus anciennes aux plus récentes, de Chopin (Tristezza), à Tosti (Malia), de Rossini (La danza) à Dalla (Caruso), d’un extrait de Don Giovanni (Deh vieni a la finestra) à l’éternelle O sole mio d’Eduardo di Capua, le chanteur nous livre sans réserve ses états d’âme. Serata d’Amore, c’est une soirée où il raconte son histoire en paroles et en musique. Des images de jours ensoleillés, de sentiments amoureux et d’instants romantiques sont au programme. Des instants de pur bonheur ! L’Ensemble TrioSphère s’est donné pour mission de faire découvrir les œuvres de nouveaux compositeurs influencés par la musique du monde, le jazz, le techno et la pop tout en repoussant les limites de la forme conventionnelle du concert.

  • Decca Discography
    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>U U.S.A. & Canada Decca Inc. (USA) was formed in 1934. Despite signing Segovia and (briefly) Heifetz, its classical catalogue did not amount to much as it drifted away from the parent company in the 1940s. London Records was set up to replace it and for nearly twenty years seemed content to operate as a supplier of European recordings to the US market. In the 1950s, a handful of American orchestras (Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, New York) recorded extensively for RCA Victor or American Columbia. A few more (Cleveland, Minneapolis, Detroit) had successful partnerships with such labels as Epic and Mercury. Of the rest, Utah and Houston picked up a few sessions from Vanguard and Everest, who were more active in Europe. The majors began to follow them, American Columbia opting to record its Copland series in London, where Previn was being kept busy by RCA. In response to a perception that American record buyers preferred American orchestras, Decca made a bold move against the trend, announcing in 1967 that the Los Angeles Philharmonic had become “The first American orchestra to be exclusively contracted by a British recording company.” EMI, Deutsche Grammophon and Philips quickly followed and by the early ’70s most North American orchestras with recording contracts were linked to European labels. Decca recorded regularly in Los Angeles until 1980, and in Chicago (1970- 1998), Washington (1972-75), Cleveland (1973-97), Boston (1975-78), Detroit (1978-84), Montreal (1980-2000), San Francisco (1987-95) and St.Paul, Minnesota (1989-97), plus occasional visits to New York and Philadelphia.

  • Massenet's Manon
    Massenet’s Manon - A survey of the major recordings by Ralph Moore Manon was a huge success: by the time of the composer's death in 1912, it had notched up seven hundred performances at the Opéra Comique and by 1950 that number had risen to 2000. Beecham famously declared – albeit perhaps mischievously - “I would give the whole of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos for Massenet's Manon and would think that I had profited by the exchange", but despite having held its secure place in the repertoire since its premiere in 1884, it has received relatively few studio recordings: in total, only eight, two pre-war and six post – one of which, conducted by Laforge in 1974, has not, to my knowledge, been made available on CD. As Wiki says, Manon “is the quintessential example of the charm and vitality of the music and culture of the Parisian Belle Époque.” It is generally retrospective in musical style, yet also innovative in its use of spoken dialogue over orchestral accompaniment; it also demonstrates the composer’s range and versatility, as the perfumed elegance and 18C classical pastiche of Manon could hardly be more removed from the noisy bombast and verismo clout of, for example, La Navarraise, first presented ten years later in London, although there is an element of verismo in its depiction of almost universal greed and selfishness. I personally prefer Werther above all Massenet’s many operas, but there is no denying the enduring charm and appeal of Manon; it is replete with melody and several of its arias have a permanent place in the concert and recital album repertoire.
