Story
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
Il maestro già martellava il pianoforte – Vita e musica di Giacomo Puccini ricorda il grande compositore nel centenario dalla scomparsa. Un omaggio doveroso non solo a un compositore di grande importanza, perché è l’anello di collegamento fra la tradizione operistica italiana e la modernità, ma anche a un esponente della nostra terra. Puccini a dire il vero non avrebbe bisogno di festeggiamenti particolari, perché si difende benissimo da solo sulle tavole dei palcoscenici di tutto il mondo: né ha bisogno di particolari riscoperte perché non è mai uscito dall’affetto del pubblico ...

Story
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...

Nel 2013, con questo ciclo, Rete Toscana Classica celebrava Francis Poulenc, dandy della scena parigina, a cinquant’anni dalla sua scomparsa. Protagonista della scatenata stagione del primo dopoguerra al fianco di Jean Cocteau, Darius Milhaud e Arthur Honegger, Poulenc ebbe in seguito un progressivo e intenso avvicinamento alla fede cattolica. La conversione lo portò negli ultimi decenni di attività a creare alcune delle pagine religiose più intense e toccanti del Novecento, fino al capolavoro di teatro lirico Dialogues des Carmélites, tratto dal dramma di Georges Bernanos. Quella di ...

Nel 2008 Rete Toscana Classica ha dato ampio spazio alla figura di Giacomo Puccini nel 150esimo anniversario dalla nascita.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
