Parole e musica / 1948

Encomium to Larry Hart (1895-1943), seen through the fictive eyes of his song-writing partner, Richard Rodgers (1902-1979): from their first meeting, through lean years and their breakthrough, to their successes on Broadway, London, and Hollywood. We see the fruits of Hart and Rodgers' collaboration - elaborately staged numbers from their plays, characters' visits to night clubs, and impromptu performances at parties. We also see Larry's scattered approach to life, his failed love with Peggy McNeil, his unhappiness, and Richard's successful wooing of Dorothy Feiner.

Notes from the front: music, words and images of the great war / 2018

Notes from the Front is a project distinguished by its original and innovative multi-disciplinary approach, which assembles arrangements of popular war songs of the period and original new music by Pordenone’s Zerorchestra with a chronologically complete, thematic review of film footage shot dal vero (“from life”) in war zones by Italian, Austro-Hungarian, and American cameramen. The visual material is set against readings of extracts from diaries kept by soldiers from the two armies. The various sources – musical, cinematic, and autobiographical – are combined to create a unique emotional experience, which simultaneously recounts the war, sheds light on propaganda techniques, compares them with soldiers’ accounts, and puts a modern slant on the music of the time inspired by the war.

Joni Mitchell: Painting with Words & Music / 19997.01 voti

Dopo quasi un decennio di esilio dal mondo dello spettacolo Joni Mitchell ha riacquistato un profilo mediatico, magari non di impatto commerciale ma comunque stabile, grazie alle meritate critiche positive di alcuni giornalisti musicali; il recente Grammy Award e la speciale citazione su Billboard hanno fatto riemergere la cantante dall'oscurità. Dopo aver raggiunto il grande successo con l'album del 1974 "Court and Spark", che rimane il suo album migliore. Tuttavia nella sua incursione nella world music, nel jazz e nel pop, la Mitchell è rimasta un'artista influente. Questo concerto del 1998 mette in luce la produzione di questo periodo e tra le 22 canzoni ci sono sia i primi brani come "Big Yellow Taxi" e "Just Like This Train", ma anche i più maturi "Amelia" (tratto da "Hejira") e "Sex Kills" (tratto da "Turbulent Indigo"), che mostrano tutta la profondità e l'ingegno di questi suoi lavori.
