Two masterpieces by Beethoven Vladimir Ashkenazy, director of the concert 30 May 1 and June 2 which will be held at the Auditorium Parco della Musica. Of the German composer, will be carried out, in fact, in the first part of the concerts, the Grosse Fuge Op 133 and the Choral Fantasy for piano, chorus and orchestra, Op 80, believed to be a sort of "rehearsal" Hymn to Joy, end of the Ninth Symphony. In the second part of the concerts, however, one of the most interesting composer of the twentieth century, the Englishman William Walton, which is on public oratorio Belshazzar's Feast, based on the biblical Feast of Belshazzar, narrated in the Book of the prophet Daniel.
If the two Beethoven works are not only rarely heard, but also of majesty and monumentality harmonica music, the score of Walton is modeled on the other hand, the sounds of Handel; where the double chorus is the part the narrator's insistent pagan feast of lush Baldassare, made with the removal of the treasure from the temple of Solomon in Jerusalem. To conduct the orchestra and chorus of the Academy Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, the beautiful baton of Vladimir Ashkenazy, pianist, as if that is a flawless performer of Russian music and romantic, like a conductor, he has always shown a special predilection for his fellow countrymen Rachmaninov, Prokofiev, Shostakovich and Scriabin. This time, therefore, Ashkenazy is almost an exception to the Roman public, using the piano Simone Pedroni and baritone Garry Magee.
