Il progetto di opera d’arte totale di Bussotti, che ...

Nel 2009 Alberto Cantù pubblicava David Oistrakh – Lo splendore della coerenza per l’editore Zecchini. Quello stesso anno curava questo ciclo per Rete Toscana Classica. L’occasione era il 101esimo anniversario della nascita del musicista russo. Nell’arco di dodici puntate, ognuna delle quali regala ascolti preziosi e rari, Cantù ripercorre la carriera di questo protagonista assoluto del violino del Novecento. Una parabola che si snoda tra la Rivoluzione d’ottobre e il Disgelo. Una vita tra arte e politica, scandita da tournée in cui il regime sovietico esibisce Oistrakh come ...

Story
È dedicato agli scritti sulla musica di Claude Debussy il ciclo che Francesco Dilaghi ha curato nel 2018 a cento anni dalla morte del musicista francese. Il titolo scelto in origine – Il bisogno singolare quanto inutile di dare la mia opinione – è rubato allo stesso Debussy, che oltre a essere un compositore è stato un critico tanto severo quanto irriverente. Conversando con il suo alter ego immaginario – Monsieur Croche – Debussy rivela ai suoi lettori passioni e insofferenze. Considerazioni sostenute da una capacità di analisi che si esercita con egual lucidità sul passato e sul...

Story
Le avventure di Monsieur Croche è il titolo scelto in origine per il ciclo che, nel 2012, Alberto Batisti e Luca Berni hanno dedicato a Claude Debussy a 150 anni dalla nascita. Monsieur Croche è il nome scelto dal musicista per il suo alter ego, definito “antidilettante”. Con pochi tratti ironici, Debussy lo/si descriveva così su “La Revue blanche” il 1 luglio 1901: “Aveva un volto asciutto e piccolo, e gesti visibilmente allenati a sostenere discussioni metafisiche (…). Parlava con voce sommessa, non rideva mai, a volte sottolineava la conversazione con un sorriso muto che ...

Dante in musica

Story
La fortuna di Dante coi musicisti ha stentato a mostrarsi. Fino al Cinquecento il paradigma indiscusso della poesia destinata alle intonazioni musicali fu quello rappresentato da Petrarca col Canzoniere. Questo primato della poesia lirica su quella epica fu quasi insormontabile. Forse perché il pluristilismo di Dante destava imbarazzi estetici ai canoni classicistici del Rinascimento. Fu Vincenzo Galilei, padre del grande scienziato, il primo musico a indirizzare il proprio interesse al verso di Dante. Capaci di suscitare emozioni drammatiche, i versi danteschi si rivelarono adatti a un nuovo...

Trasmesso nel 2007, in occasione del 70esimo anniversario dalla morte, questo ciclo ricostruisce la figura di Maurice Ravel attraverso le voci di poeti, amici e interpreti. Sedici puntate per rendere omaggio a uno dei grandi della musica del Novecento, ormai un classico. Ma anche per colmare il silenzio che, in Italia, avvolge ancora buona parte della sua produzione. Ravel non è soltanto lo straordinario creatore di Bolerò, di Daphnis et Chloé, di Ma Mère l’Oye, de L’Enfant et les sortilèges o l’orchestratore dei Quadri di un’Esposizione di Modest Musorgskij. Quante volte nei ...

Story
Francesco Dilaghi traccia un percorso, necessariamente antologico, sulla forma del concerto per pianoforte e orchestra, da Bach a Bartók. Qual’è l’etimologia della parola “concerto”: aspra contesa o intreccio pacifico? Vivace contrapposizione o accordo armonioso? Entrambe sono possibili, ed è forse proprio questa la ragione del successo di questo genere strumentale in cui lo strumento a tastiera dialoga con la multiforme compagine dell’orchestra dai mille diversi aspetti. Una forma che ha conosciuto una crescente fortuna soprattutto tra la fine del ‘700 e tutto il secolo ...

Story
Sergej Rachmaninov è senza dubbio un autore molto noto e amato dal grande pubblico. Ma, a ben vedere, la sua fama – almeno nel nostro paese – è legata soprattutto alle opere che hanno per protagonista il pianoforte, sia da solo che con orchestra. È noto infatti che Rachmaninoff è stato uno dei maggiori pianisti – per qualcuno il più grande – del primo Novecento. Della sua arte interpretativa ci resta oggi una significativa testimonianza discografica. Ma, senza nulla togliere ai suoi capolavori destinati al pianoforte, la sua personalità di musicista risulta decisamente più ampia...

Deborah Harkness first introduced the world to Diana Bishop, an Oxford scholar and witch, and vampire geneticist Matthew de Clermont in A Discovery of Witches. Drawn to each other despite long-standing taboos, these two otherworldly beings found themselves at the center of a battle for a lost, enchanted manuscript known as Ashmole 782. Since then, they have fallen in love, traveled to Elizabethan England, dissolved the Covenant between the three species, and awoken the dark powers within Diana’s family line.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. Darcy, who once seemed to be our only hope for surviving the vampire apocalypse, has gone to the dark side—she’s now the reigning vampire queen. Meanwhile, her sister Hope must lead the charge to save humanity—on a path that’s taking her straight to Darcy. Will an emboldened Hope destroy her own sister to save the world? Would a godlike Darcy ever allow that to happen? They say hope is a dangerous thing, and they just might be right.

Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse - unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.
