L'histoire du soldat: marzo 2009

"Aldo Ferraresi was born in the historic centre of Ferrara on May 14, 1902 at 21 Via Vittoria. His father Augusto, an artillery marshal and passionate mandolin player, and his mother Marcella Jesi, having noticed their child’s gift for music, sent him to the Frescobaldi Institute of Music of Ferrara at the age of five to study with the masters Federico Barera and Umberto Supino.

At the age of twelve, having succeeded in an audition for admission, Ferraresi was accepted to the Conservatory of Parma under the guidance of Mario Corti, who later accompanied him to Rome to the Academy of Saint Cecilia, where he received a violin degree with top marks at fifteen years old.

He started his concert career at the Music High School of Bologna, and at the City and Verdi Theatres of Ferrara: a career of an "enfant prodige" with a bold and informal spirit, characteristic of his whole life. In Ferrara, while still very young, Ferraresi performed at the Apollo Cinema, in the orchestra of the silent cinema, and in the café concerts of Viareggio and Florence ("Orchestra Ferraresi-Cortopassi"). His life was almost parallel to that of the great Vasa Prihoda (who too was discovered by Toscanini at the café Grand’Italia in the Gallery of Milan!). Only poets who have truly suffered are capable of creating real poetry. And it was Vasa Prihoda, together with Jan Kubelik, who prompted Ferraresi to go to Brussels to the school of the famous violinist Eugène Ysaye, who later considered him to be the best of all his students. He availed himself of Ysaye’s instruction and often in his concerts presented music of the great maestro (e.g. Poème élégiaque, Divertimento, Chant d’hiver)."

Barenboim, Reith Lectures 2006: "In the beginning was sound"

Reith Lectures 2006
BBC4

Daniel Barenboim: In the beginning was sound

"In this year's Reith Lectures musician and conductor Daniel Barenboim
discusses the interplay between music and society."

Lecture 1: In the Beginning was Sound
"St John said, "In the beginning was the word", while
Goethe claimed that, "In the beginning was the deed". But my
contention is: In the beginning was sound."

Lecture 2: The Neglected Sense
"In Chicago I will be trying to rescue "the neglected
sense" - the ear - and launch a campaign against muzak."

Lecture 3: The Magic of Music
"In Berlin I will argue that we have lost the ability to
make value judgements about public standards - all because of
political correctness and bad education."

Lecture 4: Meeting in Music
"In the first of my lectures from Jerusalem I will talk
about how music is the great equaliser as I have discovered in my
West-Eastern Divan Orchestra which brings together young Arab and
Israeli musicians."

Lecture 5: The Power of Music
"We end in Jersualem to explore power. Music has shown me
that there is a fundamental difference between power and strength
which could map a new journey for our politics."
