the glorious period of the Borgia family (15th and 16th century, during the Renaissance
period). A very personal investigation of the time, the characters, the musical traditions,
the musical instruments designed during this period and the pieces originally
performed. (Jordi Savall & the Borgia – RTVE, Spain). How can great figures of the
music world get closer to the young or downright to children Perhaps Lorenzo
Cherubini, known as Jovanotti, Italian songwriter loved by thousands of youngsters, has
actually been the right man to mix the soul of Pop music with that of more profound
thematics. At least, we can estimate it by the results of the contagious enthusiasm with
which he launched himself into the "operation Rossini"!!! A bubbly and sparkling "pill"
on the music of Bruno De Franceschi and on the text of Jovanotti. Children who sing,
play and act and have the know how to intrique and attract the public. (Rossini!!! –
Operinafor voices and orchestra – CLASSICA, Italy). A film broadcast live and worldwide,
concieved and produced by Andrea Andermann who, together with the Rai, transmitted
the atmosphere, the evocative power and awesomeness of Giuseppe Verdi's opera from
the exact places and hours of the libretto, respecting the rythm of the story as well as
authentic work of the authors. A film by Marco Bellocchio, with Placido Domingo who for
the first time took the part of Rigoletto. Film making by the Oscar Award Vittorio
Storaro. With the participation of Rai's National Symphony Orchestra conducted by
maestro Zubin Mehta. (Rigoletto in Mantua – RAI, Italy). Filmmaker Beate Thalberg has
crafted a docu-drama based on a little-known source of information about Gustav
Mahler, from the diaries of Natalie Bauer-Lechner, Mahler’s long-time confidante. The
film portraits Mahler’s private and professional life starting from his student years in
Vienna up to his marriage with Alma Schindler. The diaries evoke the man behind the
artist and not only testify Mahler’s erratic character and his disposition but also his
dramatic struggle for recognition as a composer (My time will come - Gustav Mahler as
remembered by Natalie Bauer-Lechner – ORF, Austria). A beautiful, emotive and
evocative piece illustrating the special bond between mother and son. A fully dressed
man is pushed into a swimming pool by his mother. He treats the gesture with
unimportance and starts dancing underwater, always aware that she's watching. After a
while she joins him, and they play out the story of their relationship through the
underwater dance. (Deep end dance – RTE , Ireland).
Sixty years ago young Daniel Barenboim held his first concert at the "Teatro Colón".
Today he returns as "Maestro of the Scala" to his birth city,Bueno Aires. With Giuseppe
Verdi's notes he sets the seal on the tournée that brought the Orchestra and the Choir
of "La Scala Theatre" in Argentina. Historical courses and recurrences that bring to life
the stories of the Italian migrations of half a century to this captivating land of which
the same Barenboim said: "Argentina is the sole Italian country where Spanish is
spoken". (La Scala Theatre at the Teatro Colón - Italians in Argentina – Classica, Italy).
The life of Luciano Pavarotti through archives footage, interviews and short fiction
movies especially filmed to describe the events linked to the childhood and early youth
of the Maestro. The scenes tell the story of a young Pavarotti and his relationship with
his father Fernando, with his mother who insisted that her son continue his singing
lessons and then his encounter with Beniamino Gigli and his singing teacher Maestro
Arrigo Pola. The documentary-film leads us into the Maestro’s cities, beginning in
Modena, where he was born, lived and where "Pavarotti & Friends" was staged to Reggio
Emilia, where he made his debut in "La Bohème" and all the way to the great
International stages where he performed. (Pavarotti, the voice of angels – RAI, Italy).
