Lorenzo Perosi - Mosè

[@angelosilva4051]

Grande lavoro di Perosi che si avvicina all'opera pur avendone composta per sicuro almeno una anche se con Perosi ci si deve felicemente aspettare delle magnifiche possibili sorprese in materia.Bellissimi il prolologo e la prima parte ma anche le altre. Splendido Poema Sinfonico vocale.

Si deve obbligatoriamente ringraziare il Maestro Arturo Sacchetti per le esecuzioni delle composizioni di questo grande genio. Lorenzo Perosi compositore e sacerdote ha composto musica in grandissima quantità suggestiva bellissima.Ci auguriamo che anche altri grandi maestri prendano come si dice la palla al balzo e che le musiche di Perosi facciano oarte stabilmente del comune repertorio concertistico.Grazie Maestro Sacchetti di tutto e speriamo di vedere partiture su partiture,inedite e tanta musica del Perosi che disse una volta" il mio tempo verrà " come il genio grandissimo di Gustav Mahler affermò a suo tempo.

Guess the quote at 37:00.

Tristan and Isolde, Wagner?

[@SPscorevideos]

Nope, earlier (and Perosi was a priest, I doubt he would quote Tristan and Isolde...).

@@SPscorevideos Didn‘t know when Perosi lived. I‘m excited to know something about the quotation.

[@SPscorevideos]

@@Aventurin98 I meant the quote is from an earlier piece. Perosi was still 10 when Wagner died. ;)

Great work...does anyone have a description of the piece?

[@SPscorevideos]

It's pretty hard to find info even in Italian... Is there something specific you wanted to know about the piece?

[@tailleferrestan]

@@SPscorevideos, no, just a general description would've been fine... Today was my first time hearing Perosi, and, well, it seems like most of his work is forgotten, sadly.

[@SPscorevideos]

@@tailleferrestan Well, the piece is the description of four episodes of Moses' life, which, if I understand correctly, are not in chronological order (what's Moses doing amongst the Madianites at the beginning, if he escapes from Egypt in the second part?). The première was on 16 November 1901, with Toscanini as conductor. They were close friends (kind of funny, if you think about how much Toscanini used to curse and yell blasphemies during rehearsal). When Perosi died in '56, Toscanini was in the USA, and his son stated in a later interview that he took a couple of days to tell his father in order to not shock him. About the fact the Perosi is nowadays forgotten, you're totally right. I don't know why. I'm starting to think that there was some "political/thological" friction between him and the "head" of Catholic Church. The merely fact that he wrote almost everything in Italian while in Italy masses were performed exclusively in Latin until 1965... Today the Vatican prefers some more aligned composers. You can find other three Perosi's works on my channel, and a fifth and last one will be published in November.

@@SPscorevideos In Italia non è conosciuto perché nella musica da concerto non si è mai imposto non essendo particolarmente all'avanguardia. Nella musica sacra era eseguitissimo e famosissimo in tutta Italia fino a tutti gli anni '60, poi è stato travolto dalle riforme liturgiche della chiesa che, abolendo il latino, hanno buttato al macero secoli di musica sacra. Oggi eseguire una messa di Perosi è considerato un atto reazionario, quasi eversivo.

@@SPscorevideos Moses took refuge amongst the madianites after killing some egyptian official. He lived amongst them, married and became a shepherd. All of this before his calling (the flaming bush) which makes him came back to the pharaoh. The order is correct.
