Story
Una rubrica per melomani condotta da un melomane incurabile e bulimico. Sono sicuramente in molti quelli che amano cercare fra le pieghe dei grandi repertori e scoprire metaforicamente quel prodotto della natura che chiamiamo musica, in tutte le sue forme. O più semplicemente Il cane da tartufi è una trasmissione dal titolo curioso, proprio perché la curiosità è la molla principale che ci spinge a alla ricerca di nuove emozioni, o almeno ci proviamo. a cura di Bruno Mugnai

Story
Il pianoforte ben temperato è un ciclo, curato dal pianista e musicologo Claudio Proietti, dedicato alla storia delle esecuzioni su pianoforte del Clavicembalo ben temperato di Johann Sebastian Bach. La storia interpretativa di questo monumento della letteratura musicale è ricostruita attraverso la documentazione di quasi un secolo di registrazioni discografiche. Edwin Fischer, Walter Gieseking, Rosalyn Tureck, Glenn Gould e Sviatoslav Richter sono solo alcuni dei protagonisti di queste registrazioni. Accanto a queste esecuzioni storiche sono prese in esame anche quelle dei nostri giorni...

Story
Le cinque puntate del ciclo Nino Rota cent’anni dopo, a cura di Francesco Ermini Polacci, tracciano il ritratto di uno dei musicisti più prolifici e versatili che la storia della musica italiana abbia mai avuto. Come compositore ha dato vita a una produzione estremamente variegata, di cui le colonne sonore sono certamente i brani più conosciuti, ma non i più importanti. Inoltre Nino Rota è stato insegnante, direttore di conservatorio e uomo di cultura. Dal suo composito catalogo Francesco Ermini Polacci ha estratto pagine che comprendono generi diversi. Si va dalla musica da camera a ...

Story
Il compositore americano George Gershwin (1898-1937) ha sempre goduto di grande notorietà presso il pubblico, dagli anni in cui ancor giovanissimo produsse le prime canzoni presto entrate a far parte degli spettacoli di Broadway, e dal debutto dei suoi lavori in sala da concerto (Rhapsody in Blue esordì a New York, con Gershwin al pianoforte, nel febbraio del 1924). Tuttavia la fruizione della sua musica, soprattutto successivamente alla sua morte, è sempre avvenuta per fasce separate: classico o leggero, o jazz, opera o commedia musicale, canzoni. Gershwin praticò generi musicali ...

I Songs Il compositore e pensatore statunitense Charles E. Ives (1874-1954) si staglia nel panorama musicale statunitense e internazionale tra fine Ottocento e inizio Novecento per il carattere sperimentale della sua vasta produzione: fu precursore nell’impiego sistematico di tecniche innovative come politonalità, poliritmia, aleatorietà, quarti di tono, clusters, strumentazione insolita, impiego inusuale degli strumenti, musica utopistica (eseguibile testualmente soltanto nell’immaginazione). Ives scrisse oltre 150 Art Songs, liriche per voce e pianoforte, che esprimono la varietà e ...

Francesco Dilaghi ha realizzato un ritratto biografico di Domenico Scarlatti in occasione del 250esimo anniversario dalla morte, avvenuta a Madrid nel 1757. Si tratta di otto puntate in cui viene illustrata la vita di questo gigante della musica barocca. Ma ne viene presa in esame con particolare cura anche la produzione musicale, in particolare il lascito meraviglioso delle cinquecentocinquanta sonate per clavicembalo. È questo uno dei giacimenti d’invenzioni più originali della prima metà del Settecento, riscoperto nella sua interezza soltanto all’inizio del XX secolo. a cura di ...

Story
L’antichità moderna di David Munrow Se la musica antica oggi ha un seguito, si deve molto all’attività di ricercatore e divulgatore svolta da David Munrow. Peccato che a 33 anni, nel 1976, abbia deciso di porre fine tragicamente alla sua vita. Chi si è avvicinato a un repertorio meno conosciuto grazie ai suoi numerosi dischi non ha mai smesso di rimpiangerlo. In gioventù Munrow, nato a Birmingham, andò in Perù sotto per insegnare la lingua inglese come volontario. Ritornò in patria con un flauto boliviano e altri strumenti latino-americani. A Cambridge notò un cromorno sulla ...

Questa è una breve storia delle risate in musica. Con questo intendiamo proprio il fenomeno delle risate (ah, ah, ah, ah!), non degli scherzi musicali o dell’umorismo. Il ridere è da sempre un qualcosa di ambiguamente umano, legato alla tecnica e all'intelligenza come alla follia e alla stupidità, al potere come alla disperata mancanza di potere, al trasporto erotico come al distacco razionale. In un tour de force di sei puntate, userò la storia della musica (dal 1560 al 1960 circa) come un archivio sonoro di rappresentazioni di risate, per interpretare poi volta per volta questo ...

Una riflessione il più possibile completa sul compositore, sul tempo in cui visse, sugli incontri e la vita culturale del suo tempo. Sulle tracce dell’analisi di Giacomo de Benedetti su Giovanni Pascoli, si individuano dunque segrete affinità tra il poeta e il musicista. Così Giacomo Puccini si rivela affine a Pascoli nell’irrequieto ricercarsi. E nel bisogno di ritornare sui suoi passi alla ricerca di una sicurezza che esiste solo nei risultati della sua opera. Da questa irrequietezza nasce quindi la spinta verso il nuovo, l’inesplorato. Il tempo di Puccini è infatti un tempo in cui...

Per troppo tempo George Gershwin è stato considerato un compositore minore del ventesimo secolo: oggetto degli equivoci e dei pregiudizi più diversi - scrive canzoni quindi non sa comporre musica classica, non ha il senso della forma, non sa orchestrare ecc. -, solo in tempi recenti la sua figura si è conquistata il posto di primo piano che merita, grazie alla varietà della sua produzione e all’altissima qualità dell’ispirazione. In un’epoca come la nostra che apprezza il meticciato musicale, Gershwin ci appare come un geniale precursore, il maestro che ha saputo fondere linguaggi ...

It’s a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the grand Cornwall Inn wearing a green dress and gold heels, not a bag in sight, alone. She's immediately mistaken by everyone in the lobby for one of the wedding people, but she’s actually the only guest at the Cornwall who isn’t here for the big event. Phoebe is here because she’s dreamed of coming for years—she hoped to shuck oysters and take sunset sails with her husband, only now she’s here without him, at rock bottom, and determined to have one last decadent splurge on herself.

A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

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.
