The amazing pianism of a young man from Treviso; the acrobatic flights of Liszt fantasy: the timeless lesson of the Florentine Poet. There are many reasons that make the appointment particularly valuable Saturday, November 20 (6 p.m.) at Villa Condulmer in Mogliano, where the Associazione Amici della Musica di Mogliano hosts the twenty-year-old Elia Cecino, winner of the XXXVI Venice Prize and of many other international competitions, which will propose some large pages of Franz Liszt to celebrate in music the Dantesque year.
The program will open with the overwhelming sounds of the Waltz transcribed by Gounod’s opera Faust and will continue with the full performance of the Second Year of Pilgrimage, a musical journey in which Liszt enhances the value of medieval and Renaissance Italian art and literature that so impressed the travellers of romanticism. Liszt’s pilgrimage goes back in time, starting from the musical reinterpretation of the Renaissance pictorial and sculptural works of Raphael and Michelangelo and then leave space to the lyrics of Petrarch and culminate in the almost fantasy Sonata after a reading by Dante, sound representation of some moments of Dante’s hell.
To introduce and accompany the rediscovery, emotional exploration and actualization of the great works of the past, will be Enrico Cerni, writer and brilliant Dante communicator, a man of culture deeply convinced that with the open mind we find countless parallels between the dynamics described and resolved in the classical literature and the management of today’s society. This week is the reprint, edited by Sole 24 Ore, of one of his literary works that have most intrigued in recent years: “Dante for manager”.
