Catania, Teatro Massimo “Vincenzo Bellini”, April 11, 2015
“Piovani directs Paras ", to Catania, in a concert Sunday, April 11, 2015 replicated session B, after the huge success of the round, in a theater packed full of expectation.
Al di là del positivo impatto con le sue composizioni famose in tutto il mondo, soundtrack of award-winning films, performed in original version and uncut, you usually hear, arranged, performed by the way and out of turn, it was extremely interesting to know also the directorial flair of Paras.
Could be expected by the famous composer a sparkling concert…Instead it wasn't. Not because the music were less beautiful than you knew, in their entirety, but because times were dilated…and if the author wanted them so, evidently were played as well.
Made of fragments of Melody, pause di silenzio lunghissime, loudness poetic and festivals, but also dramatic, as for "La notte di san Lorenzo" of Taviani brothers, which opened the concert, the music of Paras probably need another Director. Lacked the brilliance of sound, despite the excellent orchestra of the teatro Massimo is committed, close to this concert to take flight.
Catchy little in toto, in spite of the best-known tunes, as "Life is beautiful" by Benigni, queste composizioni, riflettendoci bene, erano prive d’immagini. C’è poco da fare: obtorto collo, the film music was created for the movie.
Going in search of charisma, you have not found, so, at: appeared only considering Nicola Piovani as authorbecause the intrinsic solemnity a little’ indolent they purposely permeates all compositions dominated their execution.
Despite the undoubted musical significance, originality, commitment, personal vision of a world déja-vu, there has been a run as of déjà-entendu.
We hope, therefore, to listen to the same music performed with a different conducting…Wanting to venture a comparison illustrious, as for the historical Edition of Cavalleria rusticana directed by MASCAGNI. Yet it was MASCAGNI In person…Do not grieve, therefore, the Paras.
