Filippo Arlia - Orchestra Filarmonica della Calabria
Stravinsky
Classical music is art, perfection, refinement, rhythm and harmony. It is capable of delivering to the modern listener a seductive, intriguing, sublime sound fresco with ironic, irreverent, impertinent brushstrokes and with cultured, sacred and profane stories.
And composers such as Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky, Puccini, Schubert, Chopin, Debussy and Verdi have left to posterity manuscripts and scores and to musicians the task of passing on the meaning and value of milestones of music, intended to last.
It also happens in Calabria, a dot on the horizon of the world, where the Orchestra of the Conservatory Tchaikovsky of Catanzaro, relies on the young and acrobatic conductor, Filippo Arlia and records the music, the mind and the heart of the Russian composer, Igor Stravinsky; the naturalized American dissident intellectual, among the most appreciated orchestra conductors of the twentieth century who loved to repeat: «This is how music appears to us as an element of communication with others and with the Being, who knows no boundaries of language or race». Stravinsky prefers Hanslick’s «asemanticity» to Wagnerian romanticism, and that aesthetic of form belongs, indisputably, also to the tireless Filippo Arlia who lives a
moment of great popularity.
The Philharmonic Orchestra of Calabria plays "The festival of spring", performed by an ensemble of extraordinary musicians from Calabria, able to give a fleeting moment of beauty, dissolving the virus, waiting for the pandemic to abandon us permanently. But classical music has a repertoire made up of masterpieces of all time and the Philharmonic Orchestra of Calabria has been performing for years, fascinating its audience like the great stable orchestras that live in the theaters of the big Italian cities, fundamental garrisons for the cultural growth of the new generations, to develop new employment platforms, to increase tourist flows and enhance the historical and landscape heritage of cities, regions and countries and of course to pass on a centuries-old tradition known and appreciated throughout the world. In fact classical music has never been so contemporary and Calabria should finally realize it. But this is another story. The Orchestra Filarmonica della Calabria and Filippo Arlia are the protagonists of an authentic essay of skill, recorded at the Teatro Politeama in Catanzaro before the lockdown. The new record is a message of closeness and hope to the world of music and culture put to the test by an unprecedented crisis.
