Stravinsky a Palermo
2017
Il 21 novembre 1963 Igor Stravinsky dirige a Palermo l'Orchestra Sinfonica Siciliana e il Coro dell'Accademica Filarmonica Romana. Il giorno successivo il presidente Kennedy viene assassinato a Dallas, e Stravinsky dedica alla sua memoria i successivi concerti a Catania e a Roma. L'articolo ricostruisce le tappe del "viaggio in Sicilia" del compositore, attraverso le cronache dei quotidiani e i diari di Robert Craft e Vera Stravinsky.
Évolution de la durée et du tempo dans les enregistrements du Sacre du printemps d’Igor Stravinski de 1929 à 2019. Une cartographie des styles d’inte…
2022
Le Sacre du printemps constitue une oeuvre clé pour l’histoire de l’enregistrement et pour la musicologie de l’interprétation. Igor Stravinski considérait ses enregistrements comme établissant un modèle d’interprétation faisant autorité, mais c’est un fait connu qu’il ne respecte pas ses propres indications de tempo et fait un usage plus ou moins important du rubato. Ces incertitudes sur les tempi ont créé le doute et ont ouvert un espace de liberté pour les interprètes. Cet article s’est donné pour objectif d’examiner à nouveaux frais l’évolution de l’interprétation du Sacre des points de vue de la durée et du tempo. Le recours à un vaste corpus de 96 versions discographiques enregistrées …
In viaggio con Stravinsky, gli ultimi anni di tournée e le "Choral-Variationen" sul canto natalizio Vom Himme hoch..." (1955-56)
2022
The text takes up in organic form the speeches held on June 3, 2021 as part of the conference "Stravinsky in/and Italy. Day dedicated to the memory of Igor Stravinsky in the fiftieth anniversary of his death (1971-2021)" and the subsequent round table. The first paragraphs have the character of a reconstruction of the life of Igor Stravinsky ‘as an old man’, dealing above all with the theme of the trips to Italy made by the Maestro together with his wife Vera de Bosset, the conductor Robert Craft. The second part of the text is about the "Choral-Variationen on the Christmas carol “Vom Himmel hoch...”, written in 1955-56 to be performed with the Canticum Sacrum in the St. Mark’s Basilica in …
« Mouvement est nécessité » Pour une relation au monde du mouvement et de la musique
2021
Starting from a stationary state in order to feed a process, the idea of movement in music can affect both the sound material and the listening (the Hoerspiel...), both the view (musical theater) and the ancillary disciplines (dance or maping-video)... Based on examples taken in the 20th and 21st centuries (Debussy, Berg, Webern, Stravinsky, Stockhausen, Kagel, Ferrari, La Monte Young, Xenakis, Adams, De Chizy, De Mey, Trapani?), musicological study ultimately deduces that the metaphor of movement is for man an experience considered fundamental to his particular relationship to the world.
Stravinski et ses interprètes. 90 ans d'enregistrements du Sacre du printemps
2022
A work originally composed for ballet, Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring paradoxically owes its reputation to its concert performances and the plethora of discographic versions. As David Zinman says, The Rite is "a kind of visiting card" with which "conductors can demonstrate their personal artistic attitudes." As a result, The Rite is one of the composer's most recorded works, with over 180 recordings of the orchestral version. Stravinsky considered his own recordings to establish an authoritative performance model. CBS even used this as a selling point by putting the slogan "Stravinsky conducts Stravinsky" on the covers of his records. However, his interpretations do not always respect…
