Composers
Giuseppe Verdi
Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901) is the opera composer to whom the Italian identity is most closely linked, because during his long career he has intoned the most intimate values and feelings of a fragmented country that with its music and its lyrics has learned to speak Italian.
The various contradictions inherent in the parent-child relationship, interpreted by masterpieces such as Rigoletto, Il trovatore, La traviata, Simon Boccanegra, Luisa Miller, are also among the themes favored by the maestro from Busseto.
Francesco Paolo Tosti
The composer and singer Francesco Paolo Tosti (1864-1916) was the author of famous parlor or chamber romances, for which he often chose the verse compositions of his friend Gabriele D’Annunzio, Giosuè Carducci and abroad of Victor Hugo and Paul Verlaine. His romances are distinguished by their refined, carefree and melancholic style at the same time.
Jacques Ibert
Jacques Ibert (1890-1962) was a French composer, considered traditionalist for his strong attachment to the clarity and elegance of style. Author active in various fields, he has written works, operettas, ballets, chamber music and soundtracks (to remember the one for Orson Welles’ Macbeth).
Gustav Mahler
The Austrian composer and conductor Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) brought the romantic language to an extreme development, paving the way for twentieth century music. If he achieved great fame as a conductor in life, the innovative role of his activity as a composer was long underestimated and recognized only after his death.
Maurice Ravel
Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) was a French composer, pianist and conductor, who together with Claude Debussy led musical innovation in the first thirty years of the twentieth century. Ravel’s production is characterized by a sophisticated stylistic research and includes pieces for piano, chamber music, two concerts for piano, music for ballet and opera.
Sergej V. Rachmaninov
Sergei Vasil’evic Rachmaninov (1873-1943) was a world-renowned Russian composer, pianist and conductor, considered one of the greatest Russian composers and pianists ever. The emblem of his technical virtuosity is the Concerto for piano and orchestra n. 3 in D minor opera 30, one of the best known pages of the repertoire for piano and orchestra, considered one of the most demanding works for a pianist.
