Detti Rabbinici

Danimarca, 1629. Peter Claire è un giovane liutista inglese appena entrato nell'orchestra reale. La sua sensibilità e il suo talento colpiscono il sovrano deluso e in declino, che lo sceglie come proprio confidente e angelo custode. Emilia Tilsen è una serva dall'animo gentile, a esclusiva disposizione della dissoluta regina Kirsten. Tra i due giovani nasce l'amore al primo sguardo, una passione fatta di silenzi, di sussurri, di detti e non detti, alimentata dalla lontananza, quando Emilia dovrà seguire la regina ripudiata dal marito.

Gesù Cristo non disse mai «Lazzaro, alzati e cammina!» .Galileo Galilei non esclamò «Eppur si muove!». L'adagio «A pensar male si fa peccato, ma spesso s'indovina» non è di Giulio Andreotti. Sarà vero l'aforisma di Winston Churchill secondo cui a Londra «un taxi vuoto si è fermato davanti al numero 10 di Downing Street, e ne è sceso Attlee»? No, falso: infatti si trattava di una carrozza e ne discese, a Parigi, Sarah Bernhardt. «Vivi come se tu dovessi morire subito, pensa come se tu non dovessi morire mai» sarà del filosofo Julius Evola o della pornostar Moana Pozzi? Sono passati più di vent'anni da quando Paolo Mieli, per due volte direttore del «Corriere della Sera», minacciò: «Una citazione latina sbagliata in un discorso o riportata erroneamente in un articolo dovrà diventare un'onta perenne, un guaio peggiore di un avviso di garanzia». Purtroppo, da allora, poco è cambiato, se non in peggio..

When Claudio Monteverdi arrived at the court of Mantua, he was initially engaged as a viol player. This is an aspect of his musical personality that is too often forgotten. Yet his brother Giulio Cesare reminds us in a letter that his improvisations on the viol alla bastarda were remarkable. At the time of his arrival, instrumental music played an important role at the court, which was dominated by the personalities of several musicians, chief among them the violinist Salomone Rossi.

The Freiburger Barockorchester (Freiburg Baroque Orchestra) is a period-instrument ensemble focused on the authentic performance of Baroque music, though its repertoire extends into the Classical and Romantic periods as well. The group is mainly led by the concertmaster and often features members of the ensemble as soloists. The Freiburger Barockorchester was founded in 1987 in the German city known as the unofficial "Capital of the Black Forest" by a group of students who shared an interest in playing Baroque music on authentic period instruments. The orchestra performed without a conductor during the first three years of its existence, preferring to select a musician from within its ranks to lead its music on a case-by-case basis. Nevertheless, in 1990, Thomas Hengelbrock was named joint musical director along with Gottfried von der Goltz, a situation that lasted until 1997, when Hengelbrock stepped down. His place was taken by Petra Müllejans, who lead the Freiburger Barockorchester in tandem with von der Goltz. Müllejans was succeeded by Kristian Bezuidenhout in 2017.
