The profane and the profound, the lurid and the saintly, rub elbows in Menotti's operas. In The Saint of Bleecker Street, religious faith and disbelief are interwoven with drunken outbursts, taunts, and a stabbing. It's as if Puccini's Suor Angelica and Il Tabarro had been crossed with Gershwin's Porgy and Bess. The plot concerns the fragile Annina, a girl revered in New York's Little Italy because of her supposed ability to heal the sick. She hears voices, sees visions, and receives the stigmata as she vicariously relives the Passion of Jesus Christ. Her obsessively devoted brother Michele rejects these phenomena, believing them simply to be mumbo-jumbo imagined or thrust upon her by others.

''Attention, attention! Unknown flying objects from another planet and creatures identified so far only as Globolinks have landed on Planet Earth. All citizens are asked to remain calm. Be on your guard. Stay tuned for further broadcasts. THE GLOBOLINKS ARE HERE!'' A scene from a science fiction movie? It certainly could have been; the admonition is so familiar but, no, this is the opening spoken narrative that follows some evocative night skies, space-sweeping and reminiscent-of- schooldays orchestral music in Menotti's space-age opera for children of all ages, “Help, Help, The Globolinks”. Composed in 1968 and first performed in Hamburg, Menotti's music for “Globolinks” is appealing and accessible and often very amusing.

A major new, native recording of a sparkling operatic double-bill. After Amelia goes to the ball was staged in 1937 at the Metropolitan Opera with acclaim, Gian Carlo Menotti became hot property. Two further radio operas were comparative failures but it was with The Medium that Menotti really hit his stride. A tragedy in two acts for five singers, a dance-mime role and a chamber orchestra of 14 players, Menotti’s opera is both dramatically astute in the Puccini tradition and composed with an acute ear for mood and mystery: the score, often quite dissonant, conveys an eerie, morbid atmosphere. According to the composer, ‘The Medium is actually a play of ideas. It describes the tragedy of a woman caught between two worlds, a world of reality which she cannot wholly comprehend, and a supernatural world in which she cannot believe.’

Le società liberali dipendono dalla loro capacità di decidere in modo efficiente pur non potendo eliminare gli errori di percorso; e si fondano anche sulla fiducia nel progresso scientifico al servizio degli obiettivi comuni. È per questo che non può esistere un'astratta "autonomia della politica" senza competenze specifiche, perché la capacità di scelta si ridurrebbe allora all'arbitrio o alla superstizione. I tecnici, dal canto loro, possono offrire risposte probabilistiche, quasi mai certezze: in questo spazio di azione, dove le responsabilità sono gravose, si colloca la politica democratica e la sua forza. Le elezioni americane di novembre 2020 ci ricordano il clima che si genera se lo scontro politico degenera in una specie di rissa tra fazioni nemiche (neppure rivali, ma che si considerano reciprocamente illegittime). A soffrirne sono le istituzioni democratiche, con un danno per quasi tutti i membri della società..

Prokofiev's Symphony No. 5, Op. 100, is his biggest, his grandest, and his greatest symphony, a massive and monumental work that celebrates the triumph of all that is decent and virtuous over all that is depraved and immoral. Fourteen years had passed since Prokofiev's last symphony.

The trio for violin, clarinet and piano is possibly the chamber ensemble obtaining the greatest timbral variety with the minimum effort. Three very different instrument are invited to cooperate with each other; three instruments with different origins, completely different timbres and techniques. The violin is probably the oldest of the three, since it conquered its definitive form already in the Baroque era, even though important changes continued to be made in the following century in order to increase its volume and to enable new virtuoso styles. Both the clarinet and the piano, instead, derive from extremely ancient prototypes, but have found their definitive shape at a much later date. The true ascent of these two instruments took place only in the eighteenth century, and they reached the full potential of their virtuoso qualities in the nineteenth century.
