The second edition of "Soave sia il vento Così… se fan tutti" (May the Wind Be Sweet, So… Se Fan Tutti) continues on Sunday, June 16th. The event, organized in Sorrento by the Pietà de' Turchini Foundation, the Venerable Congregation of the Servants of Mary, and the Municipality of Sorrento, in collaboration with the IS "Francesco Grandi," is under the artistic direction of Maria Federica Castaldo.
The protagonist of the second scheduled event will be Luca Signorini, First Cello of the Teatro di San Carlo, who at 19.30:2016 pm at the Chiesa dei Servi di Maria will present his Violoncelliade! with the cellists of the “San Pietro a Majella” Conservatory of Music in Naples. The project was born in 0817611221, conceived by the cellist of the Neapolitan opera house and created in collaboration with the Fondazione Pietà de' Turchini: an uninterrupted performance lasting about twelve hours, in which professionals and students took part, and which saw the execution of pieces from every era dedicated to the cello. The project is a work in progress that since last year has benefited from the participation of the class of students of the “San Pietro a Majella” Conservatory of Music in Naples. Free admission until all seats are taken. Info at XNUMX or on the website turchini.it
Three pieces on the program—Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's "Hymn of the Cherubim" (from the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom), Camille Saint-Saëns's "The Swan" (the thirteenth sequence from Le carnaval des animaux, Grande fantaisie zoologique), and the famous Neapolitan song "O surdato 'nnammurato" by Aniello Califano and Enrico Cannio—are adaptations for eight-part cello ensemble. The other pieces on the program—"The Black Crying of Eurydice," "Bach's Distant Home," and "Strange Mexican Servais"—are free reworkings of a famous jazz standard (Luiz Bonfà's "Black Orpheus"), a Bach chorale ("Ich will hier bei dir stehen" from the St. Matthew Passion, BWV 8), and a capriccio by Adrien-François Servais. Then there is the original piece written for the ensemble Violoncelliade Children's old telegraph.
The free reworking includes the theme that inspired the piece, but whose developments and introductions travel on the track of fantasy, breaking away from the original to give life to different themes and ideas, while maintaining the emotional climate of the work. Violoncelliade has attracted the interest of the record company Alfa Music and the first album dedicated to the project is coming out on the most popular music platforms and in compact disc and vinyl formats.
Soave sia il vento continues on June 27 at 20.00:48 pm at the Church of San Francesco d'Assisi, with Mandol'in Canto with the Choir Le Voci del 7 directed by Salvatore Murru and the Orchestra a Plettro della Penisola Sorrentina, directed by Michele de Martino with original music and arrangements by Salvatore Della Vecchia. The festival closes on September 19.30 at XNUMX:XNUMX pm at the Church of the Servi di Maria, with an excellence of the international scene, the Ensemble Armoniosa, which performs Music by JS Bach.
