Alicia Hall Moran: Here Today
by Angelo Leonardi
Le sintesi tra canto operistico e universo musicale afroamericano sono state sporadiche. In generale la relazione tra i due mondi è apparsa difficilmente compatibile per la forte diversità tra le due estetiche: mi sembra che l'esempio più riuscito di conciliazione resti l'opera Porgy and Bess .

Dopo l'ultimo lavoro dei Kneebody (Anti-Hero), ...
