Before and after

Complete program customization Mozart It’s not repetitive, and not because we’re tired of hearing Salzburg, but it’s true that we want variety and this has it without coming from the same composer. Because the introduction “Lucio Sella” Not very Famous, this is the most prominent part of the opera Mozart was still young (17 years old), but still searching for the secret of success. It was his third and final trip to Italy and Baroque He was still very present on the peninsula and in Mozart’s training. So the form maintained the baroque structure, with three beats and fast-slow-fast; However, the first of these arias was sonata form without development (such as the overture to Rossini’s “The Barber of Seville”).

It seems that his approach is based on balance, on the correct sound, which seeks cohesion, which is what the curtains that preserve the “Lucrezia” group contributed to. Although it maintained the usual orchestral arrangement, we were struck by the more present sound of the trumpets and trumpets and the attentive sophistication of the rest of the orchestra, although the violins did not always maintain the same level of tuning.

It wasn’t common Three melodies What brought us? Leonor Bonillaas they are known ‘prom’. The person who started performing it was “Popoli di Tissaglia”, Planned for inclusion in the opera Glock “Alceste”. We do not know why this matter was anticipated as the first, given the grave danger it entails. It was composed for his future sister-in-law, Aloysia Weberwhich he loved and who must have extraordinary vocal abilities, because in addition to the typical virtuosity of the concert aria, the soprano must twice reach the level of sun It is a full tone about three times that of Queen of the Night (F). To justify this extreme extremism, he resorts to the queen’s cry upon the death of King Adamantus. Well, she gave it without blinking, without waiting for the warm-up, as there was one of the other two who followed her, who had no such challenge; In fact, it was for many years the most impossible song in the history of singing.

The next song was “Vorrei Spiegarvi, Oh Dio!” K.418, which should be sung in the middle of Anfossi’s song “Il Curious indiscreto”. His excellent technique allows Bonilla to ascend to the treble, relying well on the “steps” that Mozart prepares for him to reach the top (something like the melody of an aria). Queen of the night). However, there was a high-pitched grupetto that was slightly interrupted, perhaps due to a mistake or hesitation: we say this because it was not repeated. Instead, he sought a precise, continuous trilogy and, above all, a precise and dramatic expression.

finally, “Ah se in ciel, benigne stelle”, K. 538 It deserves to be on the last list because of the complex colours, which have to be made very clear, despite the speed at which they are printed, and having to deal with some large separation jumps.

It was warmly welcomedbut the tablet was still in his hand as if he was giving advice, the truth is that he went back inside and the audience suddenly turned off. We don’t know whether he prepared it or not, but it was natural that we should get it, even if we only got one, and the audience was happy; But maybe you don’t have to ask too much: Advice is usually given on the third trip, but this audience is asking for it sooner rather than later.

Jan Willem de Vriend (Director)

Marina Casanova

In short, we faced the second part of the ceremony towards the known, with Symphony “Jupiter”.. It is very popular and I have heard many times the reverse of the works of the first part. but Willem He’s a big, venerable veteran with a good smile and was the first to applaud Bonilla, so we expected A “the buyer” Well-intentioned and successful. After the break, Willem de Vriend seemed to have taken the magic potion and emerged transformed into another director, full of incredible power and dynamism. Brilliant contrasts from the start, with furious attacks and piano attacks that soaked up the sound with precise intensity. Have you seen those “before” and “after” ads or shows, where the former appears in black and white, or sepia, or at least in faded colors? Well like that.

The first half felt like a real flat terrain compared to the second half. Also frosty and white. now, The brightest color came from everywherebut above all with something that we have only seen in the greatest: everything moved with a driving force, and at the same time each one retained its wooden character, because everything could be heard, no one was left behind, no one was overshadowed. Obviously he was the greatest Mozart, but the truth is that he… Violin They looked so clean, so harmonious, like a seamless bundle, united with The rest of the rope Which also came out. the Metals They shined again, enhancing passages and applying their star shine to simple melodies or beats. The transverse flute has a wooden body Juan Ronda Join the oboe jose m. Gonzalez In a strange bell filling; Or the liveliness of the bassoons, especially the soloist Angela Martinez. Obviously the constant game of imitation at work, the turn-taking, but above all, the sensation of hearing everything made us feel as if the music was passing through, which was truly incredible. We’ll hear them again in the video they recorded, to see if the feeling is similar to what we experienced live.
