2022 opened with the broadcast of two new documentary films directed by Paul Rognoni for FR3-Corse-Via Stella.

The duo, Alexandre Souillart and Mathieu Acar, offer a repertoire of works created for saxophone and representative of the romantic aesthetic.

Henri Tomasi’s violin works are little known but they offer a compact insight into the direction of French 20th-century composition. The Violin Concerto ‘Périple d’Ulysse’ is a late work, by turns alluring, tragic and violent, conveyed through rhapsodic virtuosity and a rich sense of colour. The Capriccio is full of elegance and refinement with emotional intensity in its slow movement and brilliance in its finale. Chant hébraïque conjures up oriental motifs while the sequence of early works for violin and piano reference Tomasi’s Corsican heritage and evoke quasi-cinematic exoticism.

After Jesus Christ, Napoleon is the most famous man in history.

It is about the language he used to build a new imperial iconography and a new architectural style, in a reconstruction that will also allow us to reflect on the relationship between power and image mediated by art, as well as look at the regimes of the twentieth century and the world today. A unique tour from Brera Academy in Milan to the Louvre in Paris in the company of the best art historian experts and Jeremy Irons who passes his fascination to the viewers

In quell'atmosfera di colpo pacificata lo sguardo vaga sugli scaffali, di qua, di là, a cogliere le fisionomie note dei libri che mi fanno compagnia da tanti anni. Ecco le prime edizioni dei grandi, che hanno inaugurato vie poi corse trionfalmente da milioni di copie. Al loro fianco, i titoli di autori che spesso ormai conosco solo io. E poi ci sono loro: i libri fantasma – quelli che, dopo una vita più o meno effimera, spariscono dalla circolazione per non riapparire mai più. Per questo li abbiamo battezzati così: proprio come gli spettri, esistono e non esistono. Non è facile scovarli.
