Story
Questo ciclo è stato realizzato in occasione del centesimo anniversario della nascita di Benjamin Britten, nato il 22 novembre 1913, giorno di Santa Cecilia. Si tratta di un ritratto biografico e artistico che ne ripercorre la vicenda di pari passo all’evoluzione di un catalogo di opere che hanno toccato tutti i territori del linguaggio musicale. Si va dalla musica sinfonica ai grandi capolavori teatrali come Peter Grimes o The Turn of the Screw. Dalla vasta produzione sacra ai preziosi cicli di liriche vocali fino alla luminosa serie di opere pensate per i bambini ma di valore universale. ...

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

Overall

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
Qualche tempo fa Rete Toscana Classica mandò in onda un ciclo, anche quello curato da Claudio Proietti, che si intitolava Il pianoforte ben temperato. Quel ciclo era dedicato ai quarantotto Preludi e Fughe del Clavicembalo ben temperato di Johann Sebastian Bach: i 24 del primo volume (completato nel 1722) e i 24 del secondo volume (composto 22 anni dopo, nel 1744). In ciascuna trasmissione veniva preso in esame un Preludio e Fuga e se ne analizzavano diverse esecuzioni (ma solo pianistiche), accostandole e confrontandole. Entrando nel vivo della sostanza compositiva e delle problematiche ...

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them. With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success.

Trauma nurse Aly Cappellucci doesn’t need any more kinks. She likes the one she’s landed on just fine. To her, nothing could top the masked men she follows online. Unless one of those men was shirtless, heavily tattooed, and waiting for her in her bedroom. She dreams about being hunted by one in particular, of him chasing her down and doing deliciously dark things to her willing body. She never could have guessed that by sending one drunken text, those dreams would become her new reality.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.
