In 1816 Rossini’s Barber of Seville saw the light of day in a theatre that also was the seat for many years of the Accademia di S.Cecilia Concert Season .It is now the seat for many of the concerts of the Filarmonica Roma.It is also principally the seat of the National Theatre with a full season of important stage productions of the Teatro di Roma .
Andrea Lucchesini distinguished teacher at the prestigious Music Academy in Fiesole and artistic director of the Amici della Music di Firenze.I remember Shura Cherkassky being invited to Luciano Berio’s house after his recital in Empoli to listen to the teenage prodigy Lucchesini playing the Watermusic by Berio.Cherkassky was very impressed and it is nice to see this star from the class of Maria Tipo years later playing a prominent part on the world stage https://christopheraxworthymusiccommentary.com/2020/07/20/50th-anniversary-of-the-pontine-festival-foundation-streamed-live-from-sermoneta-and-ninfa/.
Rome Chamber Music Festival in the historic Teatro Argentina in the centre of Rome.
Derek Wang and friends with Shostakovich’s amazingly evocative Quintet in G minor op 57 and Andrea Lucchesini in Schubert’s Trout Quintet with the quite hypnotic Amy Schwartz Moretti and Erica Piccotti.
