There are, in fact, two different Giovannis in the opera: the one who exists before the Commendatore’s death, and the one who is left with the consequences of murder afterwards. The first Giovanni is practically nonexistent, as the duel takes place in the first scene of the first act.

Giovanni (...) is certain that terrestrial justice is powerless over him. Until the statue of the Commendatore appears in the second act, this proves to be true, and the plot remains realistic, based on human actions and human nature. With the Commendatore, however, Mozart introduces a higher justice, a sudden metaphysical dimension which returns us to the moment of the murder in the beginning of the opera. At this point the cyclical nature of the drama becomes clear and we see that this, the introduction of divine justice, was already inherent in the murder itself (...).

In order to capture the deeper sense of this seemingly bizarre dramatic construction, one must regard the entire opera first through the eyes of Giovanni, then through those of Leporello, and finally from Ottavio’s point of view. Ottavio, who is often portrayed as a somewhat ambiguous, if not weak character, is in fact not the least bit ridiculous, and the proof lies in the importance of the music Mozart writes for him. Perhaps Ottavio is a friend of Giovanni’s, perhaps even an intimate friend. It is not explicitly described this way in the score, but I find it highly probable. The fact that Giovanni seduces a peasant woman like Zerlina is not disconcerting to him; among aristocrats, this is perfectly acceptable behaviour. To do the same with a woman of his own class, however, no less than Ottavio’s fiancée, is truly disturbing, and to murder her father in the process, even if unintentionally, unforgiveable; Giovanni breaks the unwritten rules of the cavalier and now appears to Ottavio a blasphemous individual, one who disregards moral principles and norms.

Still one of my favorite descriptions after all these years

Daniel Barenboim, noto pianista e direttore d’orchestra, è nato a Buenos Aires da genitori russi di origini ebraiche, ma oltre a quella argentina, ha cittadinanza israeliana, spagnola e, dal 2008, anche palestinese.

Dirige un’orchestra e un’accademia musicale composta da israeliani e palestinesi nella convinzione che la musica possa essere un linguaggio per favorire l’empatia, il dialogo, la mutua comprensione e la pace.

Dopo la recrudescenza bellica tra Hamas e Israele, il maestro ha raccontato alla stampa internazionale il dolore per l’attacco del 7 ottobre, ma ha anche diffuso una serie di messaggi di speranza e di pace che è il caso di ricordare e diffondere.

Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, premiered in 1824, is considered one of his most famous works, even though he was completely deaf at the time of its performance. The symphony is a powerful testament to the human spirit, full of energy and culminating in the triumphant "Ode to Joy."

Jacqueline Dupré

The tragedy of du Pré’s brief career is still fresh in the public memory and can be summarised here. She was born in Oxford on 26 January 1945 into a middle-class family in which music was important: her mother was a fine pianist and a gifted teacher. The French-sounding name came from her father’s Channel Islands ancestry. Just before her fifth birthday, when she was already showing musical…

La Trucha de Schubert

Pieza musical que evoca a la epopeya de los peces que van contracorriente hacia nuevos destinos, esa lucha del instinto para poder dejar el legado, dejar el cardumen de la generación venidera, para ello, es la lucha contra las fuerzas de la naturaleza, Schubert, nos remite a esa lucha, nos envuelve en esa naturaleza, el campo lleno de naturales fuerzas, y ese coraje de seguir a pesar de los obstáculos, el violín, el chello, la viola, el contrabajo y el piano en muy hermosa armonía que eleva nuestro espíritu a gestas interiores como las de la trucha.

Concierto memorable de Jackeline Du Pre, Daniel Barenboim, Zubin Metha, Perlman and Zukerman.

Review of "Daniel Barenboim: Encores" Music of Albeniz, Chopin, Debussy, Liszt, Schubert, and Schumann. Daniel Barenboim, piano. DG 486 0932

By now, Daniel Barenboim’s name is undoubtedly familiar to almost every classical music fan far and wide. He came to my attention in the late 1960’s when I was becoming ever more serious about listening to and collecting classical music. He was among a handful of pianists whom I admired, among them Maurizo Pollini, Van Cliburn, Vladimir Ashkenazy, and Martha Argerich, which was pretty heady company.

I can't stand being in Chicago anymore and hearing the Brahms Violin Concerto in the elevator. Because that shows me that when they come to the concert hall they listen to it in the same way.

Les belles âmes devraient être heureuses ; Seuls les méchants sont malheureux. Il me semble que le bonheur réside dans une vision lumineuse de la vie et dans l'impeccabilité du cœur, et non dans l'extérieur.

Fiodor Dostoïevski

***

Je suis de nouveau en vie et il y a un miracle devant ma fenêtre

Il dispersait ses fleurs comme des étoiles.

Désolé, mais toutes mes pensées tournent autour d'une seule chose :

Combien nous a été donné - peu de choses se sont passées...

La vie est chaque jour plus douce et plus désirable.

Et son goût est plus aigu, comme celui d’une épée sans fourreau.

Alors vis sans y penser

Comme le monde est cruel et désespéré.

Jan Barenboim

Beethoven's Ninth Symphony

Ludwig van Beethoven (Bonn, Germany – 1770) began his musical education at an early age under the tutelage of his father and later, Christian Gottlob Neefe. At the age of 17, Beethoven moved to Vienna to study with Joseph Haydn, where he quickly gained a reputation as a gifted pianist and composer. Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, premiered in 1824, is considered one of his most famous works, even…

This is my favourite version of my song. The pianist is Daniel Barenboim; I personally believe that his interpretation of this song is the best. Best is subjective, but that is my opinion.
