Intervista a Giulio Prandi & Coro e Orchestra Ghislieri -...

What this episode covers

Il Festival di Ambronay si è aperto il 12 settembre con un evento di straordinaria importanza: il Coro e Orchestra Ghislieri, diretti da Giulio Prandi, hanno inaugurato la rassegna con un programma interamente dedicato ad Alessandro Scarlatti.La serata ha offerto estratti dal Vespro di Santa Cecilia, dalla Messa di Santa Cecilia e dal Te Deum, quest’ultimo presentato in prima esecuzione moderna. Si tratta di una partitura di eccezionale valore, la cui fonte manoscritta – non autografa – è stata recentemente scoperta da Luca Dalla Libera. Analisi stilistiche e caratteristiche materiali, come la filigrana dei fogli, confermano l’appartenenza dello spartito allo stesso periodo delle altre composizioni dedicate alla santa patrona dei musicisti, collocabili tra il 1720 e il 1721.La Messa di Santa Cecilia, scritta da Scarlatti per il cardinale Francesco Acquaviva d’Aragona, è una pagina grandiosa per cinque voci soliste, coro e orchestra. Le sue sezioni alternano momenti concertanti e brani solistici, affidati in questa occasione a Maria Grazia Schiavo (soprano I), Carlotta Colombo (soprano II), Margherita Maria Sala (contralto), Raffaele Giordani (tenore) e Alessandro Ravasio (basso).Nel nostro podcast, Giulio Prandi racconta le caratteristiche di queste opere, il loro significato nel contesto della musica sacra barocca e il suo rapporto con il festival, al quale il Ghislieri ha già preso parte in passato. Tutti gli esempi musicali che ascolterete sono tratti dalle prove del concerto, registrate nella suggestiva cornice dell’Abbatiale, la chiesa del Monastero di Ambronay, oggi sede del vivace Centre Culturel de Rencontre.Podcast a cura di Paolo Scarnecchia per il giornale della musicaIntervista a: Giulio Prandi.Esecuzione: Coro e Orchestra Ghislieri.Solisti: Maria Grazia Schiavo, Carlotta Colombo, Margherita Maria Sala, Raffaele Giordani, Alessandro Ravasio.Registrazioni effettuate durante le prove del concerto inaugurale del Festival di Ambronay, 12 settembre.
