Save the Date - Luglio 2014
by Luca Canini
Impazza l'estate, impazzano i festival. Rassegne, eventi, raduni, piazze, castelli, arene, vicoli, spettatori sudati che non sanno come sbarazzarsi della coppetta del gelato appena trangugiato, bambini aggrappati ai passeggini, improbabili canotte, pelli bruciacchiate, aperitivi in ogni dove e concerti a non finire. Ma di qualità poca. L'infilata di meraviglie che ha caratterizzato la primavera è un ...

The Bad Plus: The Rite of Spring
by Enrico Bettinello
Dall'anno della sua tumultuosa prima parigina è passato un secolo e un anno. Da allora la Sagra della primavera di Igor Stravinsky ha attraversato i decenni continuando a dialogare con le musiche che l'hanno seguita. Il rapporto di questo capolavoro con il jazz--musica che, si sa, riveste una particolare importanza nella vita ...
The Bad Plus: The Rite Of Spring
by Dan Bilawsky
Calculation and risk, bombast and glory, a complete shunning of expectations, and a penchant for the provocative, percussive and dramatic. It's hard to know if that description is meant to be applied to Igor Stravinsky's most heralded work or the collectively-operated trio known as The Bad Plus; it's hard to make that distinction because it rings ...
