PS Un “blogger” non è un oracolo e commette inevitabilmente errori (il minimo possibile..). Ricevo spesso “correzioni” non sempre fondamentali e non sempre precise. Così come io mi sottopongo al giudizio altrui con nome e cognome così chi vorrà avere la bontà di segnalarmi eventuali errori o imprecisioni dovrà farlo unicamente mandando un commento: a ognuno la propria responsabilità. In base alla nuova normativa chi si fosse iscritto e desidera de-iscriversi è sufficiente che mi invii un messaggio e-mail..

A concert which is very difficult for me to review. More than a concert, I would describe it as a performance combining music, singing, and even gestures, all accompanied— in some cases — by a pre-recorded sound track. Celaocoe constantly interacts with the audience and, in some cases, even invites it to repeat a few simple intonations while he performs a solo song. The cello becomes a multifunctional instrument for him, sometimes a cello, in other cases a guitar and even percussion. In addition to ethnic-style pieces, there were also a couple of “classical” pieces: the performance of the prelude to Bach’s third suite was the perfect opposite of what we call a “philological performance” (and highly questionable overall). I am not able to evaluate the concert as a whole. Certainly, it expressed a musical panorama very different from that typical of the Quartet but – in my entirely personal opinion – also rather repetitive (typical of his music is the somewhat obsessive repetition of short stylistic elements) and, in the end, even a little boring. But the audience applauded warmly, making me feel like an old fogey. On the other hand, my age justifies it…
PS Among what Celaocoe said, I found it very witty to define Sollima as “the Jimi Hendrix of the cello”…

PS I would kindly ask the readers of this blog to  register  (which implies nothing) which can be easily made  by “clicking” the black square above each post. By so doing they will receive an e-mail message whenever a new post is published.

PS A “blogger” is not an oracle and inevitably makes errors (the minimum possible..). I often receive “corrections” not always fundamental and not always accurate. Just as I submit myself to the judgement of others with the name and surname so those who want to have the goodness to report errors or inaccuracies will have to do so only by sending a comment: everyone has his own responsibility.
