Caporali Agroecologia

Blind from the age of two, a prodigiously gifted student, Jean Langlais (1907-91) produced an immense quantity of music. His organ works alone exceed in number those of of JS Bach. Many have hardly ever been performed. Perhaps not more than half a dozen works are regularly played or recorded today, which is what makes this new complete survey of his organ music – the first ever attempted on record – both unique and invaluable, as the authoritative document of a high point in the distinguished lineage of the French organ heritage.

Totò, esasperato dalla prepotenza e dall'insensibilità dell'amministratore di un teatro di posa, al quale si è rivolto per avere del lavoro, minaccia di ucciderlo per cui viene preso per matto e rinchiuso, in osservazione, in una clinica psichiatrica. Al medico che lo interroga Totò espone le sue idee sulla società e sulla vita sociale.

After the recordings dedicated to the rediscovery of Ulisse Matthey's works for organ and harmonium (Tactus tc871390 and tc871380), the Italian organist Fausto Caporali on this album plays the role of the composer.

Il principe Antonio De Curtis non era solito leggere i racconti degli storici. Lo appassionava solo la storia della sua famiglia, che risaliva all'imperatore Costantino. Non lo divertiva la Storia, cioè l'esistenza umana nel fluire del tempo, perché aveva una visione tragica della vita. Ma permetteva a Totò di spernacchiare tutte le persone che nella Storia, e quindi nella vita, si comportano da «caporali»: i prepotenti che tormentano gli «uomini» qualunque, costretti a vivere un'esistenza grama. Nei suoi novantasette film, ambientati nelle più varie epoche storiche, dall'Egitto dei faraoni all'Italia del 'miracolo economico' e all'Europa del Muro di Berlino, Antonio incarna nei personaggi di Totò sia i 'caporali' sia gli 'uomini', ma sempre con lo stesso proposito: «spernacchiare» i caporali, spiegando che la pernacchia «ha tanti scopi: deride, protesta, esplode con un grido di dolore». E difende così la dignità dell'uomo libero.
