  2. Listening to Classical Guitar Alive! earlier today, I particularly enjoyed Giovanni Albini: Double Concerto for violin & guitar.

    If you want go straight to it, jump to 38:12 on the player.

    Brilliant Classics on Albini:

    >>Born in 1982, the Italian composer, mathematician and guitarist Giovanni Albini...graduated from the conservatoire in Milan before pursuing further studies at the Accademia della Santa Cecilia in Rome and then in Tallinn.

    Albini’s language is eclectic, reflecting his broad education and wide range of musical interests in writing for new-music ensembles, video games and multimedia artworks. Arpeggiated sequences owe as much to Bach and the Baroque as they do to Minimalism, but they are integrated within an idiom that embraces modernism and the most fundamental musical materials such as a scale...<<

  4. KMFA has just been playing what I think is the most popular work of Ottorino Respighi , "Pini di Roma" ( Pines of Rome).

    This 1924 tone poem evokes mixed feelings in me. On the one hand, I enjoy its bright orchestral colours, the representation of children playing, and the striring march of the Roman legionaries along the Appian Way in the final movement .

    Yet that final movement also brings to mind what disturbs me about this music. Although Respighi was never a member of the fascist party, it is difficult not to think Mussolini's ambition to resurrect the glory of the Roman empire in the fascist Italy of the twentieth century when reflecting on 'The Pines of the Appian Way".

    Nor is the problematic nature of the piece confined to that last movement. Is there not a reactionary colouring to the other three movements, whether it be in the resort to sentimentality in the movement, religosity in the second, and the employment of a vulgar literalism in the representation of the extramusical throughout the piece, reaching an anti musical nadir in the third movement's use of a gramophone recording of a nightingale? Is this not the kitsch that would appeal to early twentieth century right wingers keen to reject both European modernism and American jazz?

    And yet my feelings still remain mixed. I just enjoy the piece, even while recognizing its problematic aspects. I am also aware that the relationship of fascism to modernism is by no means one of uniform antipathy. In addition, I have to bear in mind that my response to the music is probably shaped by non-musical associations on my own part; when I was in my early teens, my mother gave me an LP with this work on one side, with "The Fountains of Rome" on the other. Perhaps filial sentimentality is clouding my judgement of the music.

    Or am I just overthinking?

  8. I'm discovering several Italian music authors lately. They somehow all traveled to Latin America at some point in their youth.

    First one: Alessandro Sipolo

    It makes me think of Fabrizio De André (what a compliment!), and with no surprise his first album has been produced by De André former guitarist.

    In one word: Poetic.

  9. Respighi -- Notturno for piano (1904)

    I've often enjoyed listening to Respighi's popular orchestral programme music like "The Pines of Rome", but before tonight I had never heard of, let alone heard, this delightful nocturne.

  12. Queste le canzoni di #Sanremo che mi sono più piaciute.

    open.spotify.com/playlist/7Ha7

    #Mahmood rimane un vocalist da paura e non scade mai nel melodico barbanoioso.
    Meritatissima la vittoria Sanremo Giovani per Diamanti Grezzi di #Clara

    Riconosco che i Maneskin, pur non piacendomi come band, hanno senza ogni ombra di dubbio resuscitato la scena rock, alt-rock e punk italiana, agonizzante prima del loro successo mondiale.
