Armando Besio"Zelbio Cult"www.zelbiocult.itLetteratura, arte, memoir, musica, teatro, fotografia di viaggio: in arrivo gli incontri d'autore di Zelbio Cult diretti e curati da Armando BesioTornano gli appuntamenti culturali a Zelbio, dal 14 luglio al 17 agosto: sette serate all'insegna della cultura a tutto tondo in uno dei borghi più suggestivi del lago di Como. Gli appuntamenti di Zelbio Cult 2024, quest'anno alla sua diciottesima edizione, che riconfermano la formula ben riuscita che, dal 2008 porta a 800 metri di altezza, tra il lago e i monti di Como, voci, figure e storie protagoniste del panorama culturale italiano e noti a livello internazionale. Armando Besio, curatore della rassegna, con gli amici del Comitato cultura di Zelbio e con il sostegno della Pro Loco e della Biblioteca comunale, propone per la XVIII edizione un variegato calendario di incontri su quell'altro ramo del lago di Como. Zelbio Cult 2024 inizia domenica 14 luglio con uno dei più grandi e talentuosi interpreti di viola al mondo, Danilo Rossi, che presenterà il suo libro Viola d'amore(Baldini+Castoldi), insieme alla curatrice del volume, Paola Zonca, e proponendo al pubblico racconti di vita uniti a una performance di brani musicali selezionati. Viola d'amore è la storia del suo percorso umano e della sua carriera artistica, dagli inizi nelle balere romagnole al decollo a soli 19 anni quando diventa il più giovane strumentista a ricoprire il ruolo di Prima Viola Solista dell'Orchestra della Scala di Milano, che ripercorre oltre 40 anni di musica e importanti collaborazioni con direttori d'orchestra di fama internazionale come Abbado, Barenboim, Harding e Bernstein, tra grandi teatri ma anche contesti insoliti come carceri e boschi. Il racconto da vicino di un musicista appassionato, «un ribelle positivo» innamorato della vita, amante del liscio, del jazz, del pop e del buon cibo. Venerdì 19 luglio l'appuntamento è con la fotografa e giornalista Valentina Tamborrainsieme alla sua ultima pubblicazione I nascosti (minimumfax), un libro fotografico che racconta il viaggio di quattro anni tra i ghiacci del Circolo Polare Artico alla scoperta del popolo nomade dei Sami, detto anche “il popolo delle renne”. L'autrice ci accompagnerà tra le terre del nord con uno sguardo profondo e intenso sulla vita dei Sami che da sempre vivono in simbiosi con la natura, spostandosi tra i paesaggi innevati di Norvegia, Svezia, Finlandia e Russi: tra storie, tradizioni e sfide quotidiane di questo popolo, che lotta per mantenere la propria identità culturale di fronte alla modernità e ai cambiamenti climatici. Protagonista della serata di sabato 27 luglio è la Famiglia Campari che ha segnato un pezzo della storia di Milano. Silvia Cinelli, autrice e sceneggiatrice, presenterà il suo ultimo libro L'Elisir dei sogni. La saga dei Campari e l'invenzione del “Bitter perfetto” (Rizzoli): la storia del giovane liquorista, Gaspare Campari, e dei suoi discendenti, arrivato a Milano con il sogno di realizzare il Bitter perfetto e creando, da lì in poi, un'icona del rito pre-dinner in Italia. Un viaggio emozionante tra tradizione e innovazione, narrato con maestria dall'autrice attraverso un affascinante affresco della società milanese di fine Ottocento, in un periodo di grandi cambiamenti culturali, politici e sociali. Domenica 28 luglio si conferma l'appuntamento con la musica classica in collaborazione con il Festival di Bellagio e del Lago di Como con il concerto Canti di Boemia diretto dal Maestro Alessandro Calcagnile, con musiche di Antonín Dvořák e Josef Suk, nella Chiesa di San Paolo Converso di Zelbio (ore 17:00). Il primo appuntamento di agosto, sabato 3, è dedicato al teatro con lo spettacolo teatrale "ALDST (Al Limite Dello Sputtanamento Totale)" con la regia di Matteo Gatta e Viola Marietti. Viola Marietti, figlia d'arte dell'attrice Lella Costa, protagonista sul palco di questo spettacolo, sfida le convenzioni del teatro tradizionale in un mix tra una stand-up comedy e il flusso di coscienza tragico di Sarah Kane, conducendo il pubblico in un viaggio tra auto-diffamazione inquieta e comica dissacrazione. «ALDST – dice Viola Marietti – è un piano sequenza di tutti i casini, a partire dal pranzo di Natale in famiglia ai tanti “pit-stop” emotivi di ogni giorno, per cui si lotta grossolanamente contro quell'indefinita zavorra che trascina sempre in basso, passando per il baratro della depressione. Sappiamo tutto di questa ragazza: l'amore, il lavoro, la solitudine, la religione, la malattia, tutto quel che le restituisce sempre e con gli interessi il dolore senza nome che si porta dentro» Sabato 10 agosto, appuntamento con un pezzo della storia dello spettacolo italiano: ospite della serata sarà Aurelio “Cochi” Ponzoni e il suo libro La versione di Cochi(Baldini+Castoldi) scritto con la collaborazione di Paolo Crespi. Un memoir che ripercorre, da una prospettiva inedita, la vita e la carriera di Cochi a partire dai ricordi d'infanzia e della guerra fino all'esperienza con il socio Renato Pozzetto e alle avventure artistiche più recenti. Sessant'anni di spettacolo, teatro, cabaret, cinema, tv scolpiti indelebilmente nell'immaginario degli italiani e racchiusi in un libro per i lettori di tutte le generazioni, dagli amanti del mitico Derby Club ai giovani spettatori delle sue ultime avventure teatrali. Chiude il programma dell'edizione di Zelbio Cult 2024 l'appuntamento di domenica 17 agosto con Marco Carminati, storico dell'arte e giornalista professionista, per anni caporedattore responsabile dell'inserto culturale "Domenica" del "Sole 24 Ore", che condurrà una lectio con proiezioni dal titolo “L'insostenibile leggerezza del marmo”, dedicata a uno dei monumenti dell'arte italiana: Gian Lorenzo Bernini, artista poliedrico e multiforme, protagonista della cultura figurativa barocca, la cui arte scultorea caratterizzata da potenti virtuosismi tecnici e da una scenografica espressività continua a influenzare artisti di tutto il mondo. Il curatore della manifestazioneArmando Besio: Genovese di nascita, giornalista, laureato in Storia dell'Arte con il professor Corrado Maltese, è stato cronista del Secolo XIX, inviato speciale del Lavoro, caposervizio del Venerdì di Repubblica, con cui collabora, e delle pagine culturali milanesi di Repubblica.

Mit der Initiative "Make Freedom Ring" macht Geiger Michael Barenboim auf die humanitäre Katastrophe in Gaza aufmerksam. Viele Landsleute kritisieren ihn dafür. Ende Juli veranstaltet die Initiative ein Benefizkonzert in München.
Or “The Woman Who Was Cool”. The boys sit down with good friend of the show Gus to remind you that Todd Field invented Big League Chew and also that his movie Tár absolutely rules. We dare to ask “is Cate Blanchette good at conducting?”, spot ghosts, trying to enjoy Monster Hunter, playing the triangle right and “what this movie is actually about?” Watching the End of History will return next along with Hollywood Tim as we tackle another deeply weird Stephen Spielberg/Tom Cruise 00s sci-fi movie. This time though, a movie that is almost as obsessed with 9/11 as our show is: 2005's War of the Worlds.

Die Musik wurde ihm quasi in die Wiege gelegt: Sein Vater, Daniel Barenboim, ist ein weltbekannter Dirigent, seine Mutter, Elena Bashkirova, eine angesehene Pianistin. Und auch Michael Barenboim hat als Kind zunächst Klavier gespielt, bevor er mit sieben Jahren zur Geige wechselte. Mit 18 war er als Violinist so gut, dass er Konzertmeister des West-Eastern Divan Orchestra wurde. Das von seinem Vater und dem palästinensisch-amerikanischen Literaturkritiker Edward Said vor 25 Jahren gegründete Symphonieorchester hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, für ein friedliches und gleichberechtigtes Zusammenleben von Juden und Arabern im Nahen Osten zu werben. Bei den Konzerten treten israelische und arabische Musiker gemeinsam auf. Doch nach dem Überfall der Hamas und den Vergeltungsaktionen Israels hat sich manches verändert.

durée : 00:26:03 - Disques de légende du jeudi 16 novembre 2023 - Janet Baker et Daniel Barenboim se rencontrent au milieu des années 1960. Il faut attendre juillet 1976 pour que ces deux musiciens légendaires s'unissent sur un disque. Au programme de cette collaboration inédite : le cycle de lieder L'amour et la vie d'une femme de Robert Schumann.
As his new album Letter(s) to Erik Satie is set to be released, the French pianist Bertrand Chamayou talks to presenter Tom Service about the connections he sees between the visionary composers it features, including John Cage, James Tenney and Erik Satie, and how the project took him to places he'd never been before. He tells Tom how collaborating with the soprano Barbara Hannigan opened the door for this Satie project, about the unpredictability of the recording process, and how he'd like classical music performance to become more like visual art. Tom travels to Bristol's The Galleries shopping centre, home of Bristol's Eye Hospital Assessment centre, to visit a new installation featuring the testimony of 100 voices from across 12 NHS hospitals - including doctors, porters, nurses, consultants, and patients - which have been curated into an hour-long immersive experience. Providing a therapeutic space for contributors to express themselves, and an opportunity for audiences to contemplate the lived experience of hospital communities, Tom learns how the project's composer, Hannah Conway, and librettist, Hazel Gould, created four arias around common themes they encountered, and hears how they've become creatively projected into a bespoke structure that will tour Bristol, London, Preston and Addenbrooke over the coming weeks. With contributions, too, from Manager at NHS Lancashire Teaching Hospitals, Dipa Dave, and Head of Arts at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Natalie Ellis. Also today, as the West-Eastern Divan Ensemble prepares to perform a concert including Mendelssohn, Beethoven and Carter at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London this weekend, the violinist Michael Barenboim tells Music Matters how, despite the situation in the Middle-East, the collaborative principles behind his father's and Edward Said's orchestra – which seek to bring together Arab, Palestinian and Israeli musicians – are more important than ever. And the composer Jack van Zandt - author of a new book, Alexander Goehr, Composing a Life - speaks to Tom about the ongoing teacher-pupil relationship he's developed under the tutelage of Alexander - Sandy - Goehr, and how Olivier Messiaen, Pierre Boulez, and among others, Richard Hall, have in turn provided tuition and inspiration across Sandy's musical life.

A professor of literature at Columbia University he was among the founders of postcolonial studies. Born in Mandatory Palestine, he was a citizen of the United States by way of his father, a U.S. Army veteran. Educated in the Western canon at British and American schools, Said applied his education and bi-cultural perspective to illuminating the gaps of cultural and political understanding between the Western world and the Eastern world, especially about the Israeli–Palestinian conflict in the Middle East; his principal influences were Antonio Gramsci, Frantz Fanon, Aimé Césaire, Michel Foucault, and Theodor Adorno. As a cultural critic, Said is known for the book Orientalism (1978), a critique of the cultural representations that are the bases of Orientalism—how the Western world perceives the Orient. Said's model of textual analysis transformed the academic discourse of researchers in literary theory, literary criticism, and Middle Eastern studies—how academics examine, describe, and define the cultures being studied. As a foundational text, Orientalism was controversial among scholars of Oriental studies, philosophy, and literature. As a public intellectual, Said was a controversial member of the Palestinian National Council, due to his public criticism of Israel and the Arab countries, especially the political and cultural policies of Muslim régimes who acted against the national interests of their peoples. Said advocated the establishment of a Palestinian state to ensure equal political and human rights for the Palestinians in Israel, including the right of return to the homeland. He defined his oppositional relation with the status quo as the remit of the public intellectual who has "to sift, to judge, to criticize, to choose, so that choice and agency return to the individual" man and woman. In 1999, with conductor Daniel Barenboim, Said co-founded the West–Eastern Divan Orchestra, based in Seville. Said was also an accomplished pianist, and, with Barenboim, co-authored the book Parallels and Paradoxes: Explorations in Music and Society (2002), a compilation of their conversations and public discussions about music held at New York's Carnegie Hall.

Nach einem Danger Dan Konzert hat Igor Levit es Jan in die Hand versprochen: Er kommt zu Reflektor. Jetzt ist es soweit. Den Star-Pianisten kennen vermutlich auch die Reflektor Hörer, die ansonsten mit klassischer Musik nur wenig zu tun haben. Mit seinen Hauskonzerten während der Pandemie brachte er vielen Menschen die klassische Musik auf eine ganz wundervolle und bewegende Art nah. Aber er machte auch durch sein politisches Engagement auf sich aufmerksam und spielte z.B. im Dannenröder Forst für Umweltaktivisten und bei Kundgebungen für Fridays for Future. Jan wollte von ihm wissen, was ihn antreibt. Und wie er sein großes und anspruchsvolles Pensum bewältigt. Wo bleibt da eigentlich das Privatleben? Wo sind Gemeinsamkeiten und die Unterschiede zwischen klassischer Musik und Popmusik? Alle Songs, die im Gespräch genannt werden, findet ihr in der Reflektor Playlist. Exklusive Bonusfolgen und alle Folgen werbefrei und früher gibt's für Mitglieder im Klub Reflektor.

SynopsisIn September 2001, American composer Elliott Carter was just a few months shy of his 93rd birthday, but still busy composing new works both large and small.On today's date that year, Carter's Cello Concerto received its premiere in Chicago with cellist Yo-Yo Ma and Daniel Barenboim conducting the Chicago Symphony.Now, Carter's music is technically challenging for performers, and its complexity can make it equally challenging for audiences, especially at first hearing. Despite all that, Carter's comments on his music were usually quite straightforward:“In this score I have tried to find meaningful, personal ways of revealing the cello's vast array of wonderful possibilities,” he wrote. “My Concerto is introduced by the soloist alone, playing a frequently interrupted cantilena that presents ideas later to be expanded into movements.”A month after its premiere, Ma, Barenboim, and the Chicago Symphony brought the new work to Carnegie Hall, and the New York Times reviewer Anthony Tommasini wrote:“For all its complexities … the cello part has a rhapsodic, improvisatory quality …. At its conclusion, when Mr. Carter, who is 92, climbed the steps to the stage with a cane to steady him, he received a prolonged standing ovation.”Music Played in Today's ProgramElliott Carter (1908 – 2012) Cello Concerto Alisa Weilerstein; Staatskapelle Berlin; Daniel Barenboim cond. Decca 478 2735
Daniel Barenboim has been conductor of the Orchestra of Paris and musical director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, as well as the Berlin State Opera, a position he held for three decades. Along with the Palestinian-American intellectual Edward Said, Barenboim created the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, bringing together young musicians from the Middle East, especially Israel and the Arab world. Speaking to Eleanor Wachtel from Milan in 2008, he talked about the orchestra's historic 2005 concert in Ramallah, growing up on Bach and the meaning of music in his life. This episode originally aired on Wachtel on the Arts on IDEAS in 2008.
Synopsis On today's date in 1994, at Orchestra Hall in Chicago, the Chicago Symphony and conductor Daniel Barenboim gave the world premiere performance of Partita by the American composer Elliott Carter, specially commissioned in honor of the composer's 85th birthday. It was a major work, and a major occasion – but, as the Chicago Tribune's music critic John von Rheim put it, that date “will forever be known as the Night the Lights Went Out on Elliott Carter.” Just as the orchestra was playing the final pages of Carter's complex score, the house lights went out. The audience gasped. The orchestra stopped playing. Not sure what to do, the audience started applauding. Then, after a moment or two the lights came back on. After breathing a sigh of relief, Barenboim and the orchestra prepared to pick up where they had left off – and then the lights went out again! Turning to the audience, Barenboim quipped, "It's a good thing we and Mr. Carter are not superstitious." Well, eventually the lights came back on – and stayed on, enabling the Orchestra to finish the premiere of Carter's Partita. But, perhaps as a kind of insurance policy – later on Barenboim and the Chicago Symphony also made a live recording of the new work.

Happy Valentine's Day! In celebration of the holiday, we're going to be diving deep into three real-life love stories of composers. The first one is a perfectly lovely, normal romance. The second one is a tragic love triangle. The third one is...well...more of a stalker situation than a love story. But it resulted in a musical masterpiece.

Voormalig minister van Justitie en Veiligheid Ferd Grapperhaus wordt zwaar beveiligd vanwege 'ernstige dreigingen' uit de onderwereld. De voortvluchtige crimineel 'Bolle Jos' Leijdekkers zou achter de bedreigingen zitten. Misdaadverslaggever Jan Meeus schetst wie deze Bolle Jos is en waarom een voormalig minister bedreigd wordt. 1 februari is het 70 jaar geleden dat de Watersnoodramp plaatsvond. Tijdens de ramp zette een groep van ruim 300 oester- en mosselschippers uit Yerseke een reddingsactie op touw. Gek genoeg is er weinig over deze helden bekend. Anneke Jumelet tekende hun verhalen op in het boek Het water is kwaad. Ze vertelt onder andere over haar vader, die één van de redders was. De 80-jarige pianist en dirigent Daniel Barenboim stopt na dertig jaar als chef-dirigent bij de Berlijnse Staatsopera. Zijn gezondheid is zo achteruit gegaan, dat hij zijn werk niet meer kan uitvoeren. Dirigent Jurjen Hempel bespreekt het muzikale werk van de fenomenale pianist.

Violinist Florence Schwartz has played with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for over 30 years. Her tenure spans the eras of the eras of Solti, Barenboim, and Muti. She began her training at a very young age. It only intensified as she entered the world of Interlochen, Aspen, and the Eastman School of Music. Florence is also a mother of three children. She paints, she gardens, and spoils her dogs. What’s not to like? Also in the episode, I remember Hollis Resnik. Besides being one of the brightest stars of the Chicago musical theatre world for over 40 years, she was also my friend.
In Part 2, we continue our discussion of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra and how she got the idea to use individual stories to bring out the meaning and feeling of the orchestra and its members. I then ask Elena to talk about her career, which began at the age of 4 when she got a cello for Christmas, and later continued her studies at the Juilliard School of Music, first in pre-school and then as a bachelors student. Finally, she tells me why she decided to move to Germany after a summer at the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival... and why she does weight training!
We begin the Bonus Room by asking Elena about her first job, principal cello with the Deutsche Oper Berlin, which was followed by her principal position at the Staatskapelle Berlin... but not before a year in and out of Los Angeles playing electric cello in her brother's rock band! She now plays with the Hegel String Quartet and is Professor of Cello at the Freiburg Musik Hochschule, where in addition to teaching cello she also explores new ways of creative teaching.
Cellist Elena Cheah has had a marvelous and broad career. After graduating from Juilliard, she was appointed principal cello of the Deutsche Oper Berlin and later was principal of the Staatskapelle Berlin under Daniel Barenboim. She is currently a professor at the Freiburg Musik Hochschule in Germany and a member of the Hegel String Quartet. In addition, she was a member of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, an ensemble consisting of Israelis, Palestinians and people from other Arab countries. She has written a beautiful and moving book about the experiences and views of a number of the orchestra's members.In Part 1 of our conversation, we discuss how she first entered the Divan orchestra and then focus on the experiences of several people in the orchestra.
