Tonight Marvulli Michael Rota's music director and Mendelssohn with the ICO to Bari in the church of S. Our Lady of Mount Caramel.
Tonight, at 21.00, at the Church St. Our Lady of Mount Caramel in Bari (via Napoli 280) Symphony Orchestra of the Province will perform in a concert devoted to Mendelssohn conducted by Rota and Michele Marvulli (pictured) and the violin soloist Nicola Marvulli (admission free. Infoline: 080.5412302). The evening opens with the overture is run by "the straw hat of Florence" by Nino Rota (1911 - 1979). This is a musical farce in four acts and six scenes with libretto by Ernesta and Nino Rota, inspired by the eponymous play by Eugene Labiche and Marc Michel, and whose composition Rota expectations since 1945, came to represent exactly ten years Later, at the Teatro Massimo in Palermo (April '55), and then at the Piccola Scala in Milan, directed by Giorgio Strehler. And we can say that the overture, like the rest of the work, contains all the digits clearly visible personal composer: singable themes, lively and mischievous at times, especially, solid orchestral writing. Maybe, then, the turn of a Suite from "La Strada" more and Rota. Speaking of the "road" without the memory runs immediately to the theme of Gelsomina, it is virtually impossible. Without the soundtrack by Nino Rota, the masterpiece created in 1954 by Federico Fellini would probably be a movie any, is intended to leave little trace of itself in the collective memory. But in fact, the success of movies and music was huge in scope, to such an extent that would cause the Master to pick up the themes of the soundtrack in a suite for a ballet staged at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan in 1966. In the role of Jasmine, who screen was performed by a masterful Giulietta Masina, there was Carla Fracci, while the choreography was created by Mario Pistons. The inevitable success that followed - more than twenty minutes of applause out of the theater - is also due to the final integration of the suite in concert programs, as had already happened to the suite drawn from some of the masterpieces of the world of ballet by Tchaikovsky and signed or Prokofiev. In the second part of the Orchestra will perform the Concerto in E minor, Op. 64 for violin and orchestra by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809 - 1847). Absolute masterpiece in the literature for violin and orchestra for his balance and his rare ability to combine writing virtuoso perfectly subservient to the logic of musical discourse, the Concerto op. 64 by Mendelssohn dates back to 1838, although the author completed it in 1844 during a visit to Soden, near Frankfurt. Health problems prevented, however, to be able to take part in Mendelssohn's first performance, held at the Gewandhaus in Leipzig on March 13, 1845 by the violinist Ferdinand David, to whom the concerto was dedicated, on that occasion, the orchestra was conducted by Danish composer Niels Gade. The author, then had to wait until October 3, 1847 (the year of his death) to listen to your concert, this time run - again in Leipzig - by the famous virtuoso Joseph Joachim.
