Par DUFOURT HUGUES. Le Duel à coups de gourdin (Dos Forasteros) fait partie des 'peintures noires' (1820-1823) de la Maison du Sourd de Goya, telles qu'on peut les contempler aujourd'hui au Musée du Prado de Madrid. Goya y montre deux paysans qui s'assomment à coups de gourdin, deux hommes déjà à demi-enlisés - dans des sables mouvants peut-être et uniquement occupés à s'entretuer. Ce duel sans me…

Par BOCELLI ANDREA. Believe is a collection of intimate and contemplative songs that have inspired Bocelli over the years; melodies that evoke memories from his childhood in Tuscany. In addition to the touching and powerful ?Amazing Grace? with Alison Krauss, the new album includes two duets with the mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli and a previously unreleased track from Ennio Morricone. Each song in…

Le poème Comment une figue de paroles, et pourquoi est un des plus foisonnants, des plus complexes poèmes qu'ait jamais écrit Francis Ponge. Il est l'objet de ses doutes sur la forme, sur l'objet poétique et il est en même temps la preuve de la grande maturité de son langage, de la virtuosité appliquée à son propre savoir-faire. Dure à inciser, la figue (ou le poème) renferme des trésors - elle es…

Guide Âge: 8 - 11 ans: Plusieurs chansons entremêlées et chants- environ 35 minutes. Ce court métrage musical est une interprétation intelligente de Hans Christian Andersen 'La petite fille aux allumettes', qui entremêle le récit original avec l'histoire de la Nativité, et les endroits à la fois dans un salon victorien de Noël.

Par BULLA STEPHEN. The descriptive piece draws its inspiration from the American west, the music first depicts a scene of wide open spaces and the quiet landscape of the painted desert.

Chorale Setting. Par TELEMANN GEORG PHILIPP. Chorale settings form a central part of Telemann's oeuvre. His 1754 setting of the church hymn Christus, der ist mein Leben, based on Melchoir Vulpius' melody from the Hamburg Hymnal, is especially well-suited to display his mastery in depicting the words of the chorale. The so-called 'Ausfüllungsbass” (a vocal bass added to the principal bass in tutti …

per flauto. Par ROMITELLI FAUSTO. I met Fausto Romitelli in the early Eighties, while he was still studying composition with Umberto Rotondi at the Conservatory in Milano. Though he was very young, he already showed the signs of a strong and unconventional personality. In a morespecific way, besides a very strong bias towards instrumental experimentation, I was impressed by his irresistible urge t…
