Eseguire L’inatteso.: Ontologia Della Musica e Improvvisazione

Herbert von Karajan (5 April 1908 – 16 July 1989) was an Austrian orchestra and opera conductor. Karajan is generally considered one of the greatest conductors of all time. His obituary in The New York Times described him as "probably the world's best-known conductor and one of the most powerful figures in classical music". He is the top-selling classical music recording artist of all time, having sold an estimated 200 million records during his career. Karajan conducted the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra for 35 years.

Arturo Toscanini (March 25, 1867 – January 16, 1957) was an Italian conductor. One of the most acclaimed musicians of the late 19th and 20th century, he was renowned for his brilliant intensity, his restless perfectionism, his phenomenal ear for orchestral detail and sonority, and his photographic memory. As music director of the NBC Symphony Orchestra he became a household name through his radio and television broadcasts and many recordings of the operatic and symphonic repertoire. He is widely considered to have been one of the greatest conductors of the 20th century.

Una delle chiavi di volta della storia della musica è costituita dai Concerti Grossi op. VI di Arcangelo Corelli. Dopo la storica versione proposta da Amadeus nel 1998 con l’aggiunta degli strumenti a fiato, nell’interpretazione di Federico Maria Sardelli e dell’ensemble Modo Antiquo (nomination al Grammy Award), il ritorno alla versione per archi, così come è codificata dalla tradizione, era doveroso, ineludibile e, possiamo dire, imposto dalla magistrale interpretazione di Ottavio Dantone e dell’Accademia Bizantina.
