Who is Ernesto Ragazzoni? Click here and now thanks to someone who loves life of those who lived their lives fully also click here ..
... Ernesto Ragazzoni was a weird child's hair soft and gray, who traveled the world without time and without an umbrella.
When we asked the reason for this enmity with his watches, he replied impatiently, "I paid for Dicanio all the same!" ... Ernesto Ragazzoni was a wonderful writer, poet and journalist. And above all a man of free thought and genius. Born on Lake Orta, Orta San Giulio, died in 1870 in Turin in 1920. Like other great men of thought, sinks themselves, the fame of Ernesto Ragazzoni managed to get to us, despite the criticism, almost without criticism. Only thanks to those who loved him esteemed and appreciated by reading it. This stage production responds to the desire to pay homage to the poet and man, with the hope of helping to disseminate the work of more Ragazzoni, which certainly deserves to be widely known. In scene five actors, three men - one of which embodies the same Ernesto Ragazzoni - both women and a pianist who accompanies the exhibition texts at times making the music complements the texts themselves. The "place" is the theatrical production of a hypothetical newspaper, in 1919, where Ragazzoni involved - in his own way - and interact with fellow journalists.

In the first ever performance in a staged opera comes to life in Spoleto Gogo no eiko of the great German composer Hans Werner Henze, based on a novel by Yukio Mishima, with the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano Giuseppe Verdi, directed by Giorgio Ferrara and the set of Gianni Quaranta.
work that explores the difficult conflict between the generations, which tells a story from the dark tones, always fascinating masterfully accompanied by the energy of a vigorous and poignant music.
Gogo no Eiko's work is the result of a particular artistic history. Composed by Hans Werner Henze in 1988 for the Deutsche Oper Berlin on a libretto German (Verretene Das Meer - Sea betrayed) from the novel by Yukio Mishima Gogo no Eiko, is represented for the first time in 1990. Then, twelve years later, Henze decides to return to its roots, making the work done by the translation of the libretto in German and Japanese composing twenty minutes of new music. A kind of miracle, given the diversity of expression of the two languages. The work is well represented in the premiere concert at Suntory Hall in Tokyo in 2003 and was a great success. But still, Albrecht Henze and work for settling other thirty minutes of music. In 2006 it performed in concert by the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale RAI conducted by Gerd Albrecht in Salzburg, Berlin and Turin. A Spoleto is represented for the first time in a staged opera in its Japanese version.
A work by the dark aspects in which hovers a feeling of inescapable social and individual destiny, which dominates the action, and crushes his characters in inexorable mechanisms. The universe of the young generation is in contrast with that of adults, and expresses its full destructive potential derived from the lack of prospects, to the extreme solution of the murder. But youth is seen as a category of the spirit and Henze brings us to reflect and interpret leniently the cynicism typical of this human dimension, in his defeat must face the reality, when the difficult transition from adolescence to maturity.
Fusako is a beautiful young widow, who owns a fashion boutique in West Yokohama. She lives with her son, Noboru, peeping through the crack of a wall of the room in which it is locked up every night, the intimacy of the mother. Crucial meeting with Ryuji, the mate of a ship moored in the harbor. Mother and son are fascinated by the man who soon proposes for them to become husband and stepfather. However, the physical act of love towards Ryuji Fusako and his decision to leave the sea to lead a normal life beside the woman he fell in love and her son, to which behaves in a loving way, casts upon him a baleful light. The sailor is no longer in the eyes of Noboru and his bandmates seemed the hero. He not only abandoned his dreams of glory and not "belong more to the sea", but it has also become a merciful father to forgive him after discovering that his mother was watching him and hugs in their clubs. Is not that a wretch like all adults: why the boys condemn him to death. While Fusako, happy again, imagines his future endeavors as a wife and mother, convinced that he will learn Noboru over time to love his stepfather, the officer is attracted by the boy and his friends in an isolated place, where their hands will be asleep and killed. A death already foreshadowed at the end of the first act through the brutal killing of a cat.

Hans Werner Henze, 83enne, is considered the last great champion of German music tradition from Bach.Talento precocious, Henze is the protagonist, immediately and successfully, the German and international music scene. He began composing at 12 years, he studied music at Staatsmusikschule of Brunswick and, after the war, the Institute of Sacred Music of Heidelberg with Wolfgang Fortner. also participates in summer courses at Darmstadt with René Leibowitz. His first composition, Chamber Concerto for piano, flute and strings in 1946, was immediately successful. After writing works for very different genres and styles, among which are the work of Boulevard Solitude, and having worked with the Deutsches Theater Constance and the Ballet du Staatstheater Wiesbaden, for which he composed music for ballets (Jack Pudding, 1951 and Labyrinth, 1951), he moved permanently in Italy. Of these early works are the two Italian König Hirsch (1956) and Der Prinz von Homburg by Kleist, the three acts of the ballet and opera Undine Elegy for Young Lovers on a libretto by Auden, Kammermusik cantatas and songs of great fairy tale. In 1966, always with a libretto by Auden, Henze composed the opera Die Bassariden conceived as a symphony in four movements. This period is also the comic opera with a libretto by Ingeborg Bachmann, Der Junge Lord, followed by another masterpiece, the Second Piano Concerto (1967). The revolutionary ferment of the late '60s, a visit to Cuba, where he directed the premiere of his Sixth Symphony as part of reasons of revolutionary songs, leave an imprint in the political and social work of those years. As in musical theater: El Cimarrón (1970) and We Come to the River (1976), which dramatizes class conflict. They are also the years when he founded the Art Yard di Montepulciano, which will consider "one of my few political successes," he writes to Tom Thumb, an opera for children. At the same time develops the search for a richness of expression even in the orchestral language with Heliogabalus imperator (1972), Tristan (1974), Air de La Folia española (1977), often reinterpreting ancient musical patterns in a personal synthesis of past and present, lyricism and rigor . of the 80s and remember the early 90s: the work Inglese The Cat (1983), with a libretto by playwright Edward Bond, and the four symphonies, from seventh to tenth, inspired by the German symphonic tradition of the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, that will have international resonance. Its dense catalog - including piano pieces, chamber music, cantatas, an oratorio, concerts - has given a mark on the world of European music. A consolidated sign by the activity of teacher: Henze was for many years at the Royal Academy of Music in London, the Salzburg Mozarteum, at the Musikhochschule in Cologne and at the Tanglewood Festival. On several occasions he has worked with young musicians and established, in addition to the Yard Art Montepulciano the Detschlandsberg Jugendmusikfest (Styria) and the Munich Biennale for New Music Theatre. In 2000 he was awarded the Premium Imperiale in Tokyo. His most recent work, Upupa oder Der Triumph der Sohnesliebe was presented to the Salzburg Festival in 2003, adding to his international success.
The Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano Giuseppe Verdi, founded in 1993 by Vladimir Delman, has imposed a number of years as one of the most important national symphony reality, able to deal with a repertoire ranging from Bach to the tenets of nineteenth-century symphonic music to twentieth century music. The program provides Orchestra each year more than thirty symphonic programs, with a layout in which the classics are often accompanied by less common, as well as some adjacent seasons, as the series "Growing up in Music," a major exhibition for children and teens. From 1999 to 2005 Riccardo Chailly, now Conductor Laureate, has served as Music Director. Wayne Marshall Helmuth Rilling and play the role of Principal Guest Conductor of the 2008/2009 season, Maestro Rudolf Barshai, close to the Orchestra for many years, the 2006/2007 season is Director Emeritus, a position he held until his death Carlo Maria Giulini. The horn player Radovan Vlatkovic and pianist Simone Pedroni, however, are present, from the 2007/2008 season, as a resident artist. For the 2009/2010 season is Music Director of the Chinese Xian Zhang, Ruben Jais and held the position of Chief Resident. On October 6, 1999 was opened with the Symphony No. 2 Mahler's Resurrection conducted by Riccardo Chailly, the new home of the Orchestra, the Auditorium of Milan. Another distinctive feature is the establishment of the Orchestra in October 1998, Milan Giuseppe Verdi Symphony Chorus, led by the Master until his death Romano Gandolfi, a prestigious figure in the choral who has worked with the greatest conductors and in major opera houses around the world. The choir currently has 100 items that can address the operatic and symphonic repertoire from the Baroque to the twentieth century. Some recurring appointments mark the path of music Verdi: Running the entire cycle of Mahler symphonies, the annual appointment with one of the great passions of Bach around the holidays Easter and New Year's concert with Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. The orchestra was directed by Riccardo Chailly, among others, Georges Prêtre, Riccardo Muti, Valery Gergiev, Rudolf Barshai, Claus Peter Flor, Christopher Hogwood, Helmuth Rilling, Peter Maag, Marko Letonja, Daniele Gatti, Roberto Abbado, Ivor Bolton, Kazushi Ono, Vladimir Jurowski, Yakov Kreizberg, Ulf Schirmer and Eiji Oue.

Born into a large family, Henze soon showed signs of his interest in the art and music, which produced immediate conflict with his father, a decidedly conservative tendencies. He began his studies at the music school of Braunschweig in 1942, but had to discontinue it in 1944 when he was recalled by the army to participate in the Second World War was soon captured and taken prisoner in a field of war. In 1945, with the war, he became accompanist at the Theatre of Bielefeld, and began studying composition under the guidance of Wolfgang Fortner in Heidelberg in 1946. In 1948 he became musical assistant to the Deutscher Theater in Konstanz, where he represented his first opera "Das Wundertheater" (Cervantes). In 1950 he became conductor the Theatre of Wiesbaden, where he composed two operas for radio, the first concert for piano and orchestra and his first opera of great importance, "Boulevard Solitude" (a kind of transposition of the modern story of Manon Lescaut). In the early fifties he took part in the well-known Ferienkurse Darmstadt, a famous center for study and production of avant-garde music. Transfer in Italy [change]
Henze left Germany in 1953, in response to homophobia, intolerance and the general political situation in his country, and moved to Italy, in Marino, where he spent most of the his life. Initially this position caused many unpleasant reactions against him, including the heavy disputes referred to the first of his opera "König Hirsch" (based on a text by Carlo Gozzi) and the ballet "Marathon" (libretto by Luchino Visconti). In the mid-fifties he began his long and fruitful collaboration with the Austrian poet Ingeborg Bachmann, who worked together to Henze as librettist for the operas "Der Prinz von Homburg" (1958, based on a text by Heinrich von Kleist) and "Der junge Lord" (1964).
From 1962 to 1967 and masteclass Henze has taught composition at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, and in 1967 he was appointed a visiting professor at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire (USA). In 1966 he obtained a large success with the opera "Die Bassariden" at the Salzburg Festival.
In the aftermath, Hans Werner Henze reinforced further its political commitment, which has had major influences in his works, such as this, the premiere of his oratorio "Das Floss der Medusa" was canceled when the German authorities in Hamburg refused to be exhibiting the work (according to the book) a portrait of Che Guevara and a revolutionary flag. Henze's politics are also well represented in works such as his Sixth Symphony (1969), the Second Concerto for violin and orchestra (1971) and composition for narrator and chamber ensemble "El Cimarron", based on a text (author Cuban Miguel Barnet) which deals with the escape of slaves during the colonial rule of Cuba The artistic maturity [edit] Henze
In 1976 he founded the Cantiere Internazionale d'Arte in Montepulciano, an organization engaged in the production and dissemination of new music it is just that Montepulciano was performed for the first time his famous children's opera "Tom Thumb" (1980). In 1981 he founded the Mürztal Workshops in the Austrian region of Styria, where he also founded and organized the Festival of Youth Music Deutschlandsberg. In addition, in 1988 he founded the Biennale of Monaco, an international festival of new music theater, which was also the artistic director.
Over the years, his works have taken the more conventional connotations ("Die Englische Katze" 1983 and "Das Meer verratene of 1990, based on the novel" Gogo no Eiko "by Japanese author Yukio Mishima. In any case, the music of Henze continued even in recent times to demonstrate the commitment of their political and civil author: his Ninth Symphony (for choir and orchestra, in 1997) contains texts (Anna Seghers) where the moments are remembered the darkest past of Germany. His latest play, however, dates back to 2003, when it was performed at the Salzburg Festival, the opera "The hoopoe," based on a folk tale of Syria.
In 1990, Hans Werner Henze was awarded the Ernst von Siemens, while in 1995 he received the Westfälischer Musikpreis (music prize of Westphalia) in 2004 was appointed Honorary doctorate for his "musical science" from the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Monaco of Bavaria. style [edit]
compositional style of Hans Werner Henze embraces the neo-classical, jazz, twelve-tone technique, structuralism and some aspects of popular music and rock. pupil of the German composer Wolfgang Fortner, in his first compositions used twelve-tone technique (for example, the First Symphony and the Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, 1947). But later rebelled against the obligations of structuralism dell'atonalità and even to the point that in his work "Boulevard Solitude" are recognizable elements from jazz and French songs from the era. Henze is also a very fine orchestrator, whose technique has always kept up to date over the years. Despite the many and varied stylistic influences received, his music has continued as the lyricism always very tense, which has often mention the names of Alban Berg and Karl Amadeus Hartmann as its possible moral predecessors.
