Premio Pavarotti d'Oro 2009 per Josep Carreras
Dopo Leo Nucci, tocca a Josep Carreras ricevere questo premio che porta il nome del grande amico scomparso il 6 settembre di due anni fa. La premiazione avverrà il 1 ottobre al Teatro Asioli di Correggio, tra l'altro patria di Luciano Ligabue, vicino a Reggio Emilia.
L'iniziativa del Premio Pavarotti d'Oro si deve all'amico fraterno del tenore Franco Casarini, conosciuto dagli amici come 'Panocia'.
Per l'occasione Carreras si esibirà con il grande flautista Andrea Griminelli, e con i pianisti Lorenzo Bavaj, Roberto Rossetto e Irene Veneziano.
Nel corso della serata si esibiranno anche i tenori Luciano Ganci e Stefano Rigon, il basso Francesco D’Artegna, la soprano Gladys Nadia Rossi (che come ricordiamo ha già avuto modo di lavorare con Carreras) e la mezzo soprano correggese Giulia Riccò.
Per desiderio di Carreras l'intero incasso sarà devoluto in favore di associazioni che operano nel settore della lotta contro la leucemia.
A presentare la serata sarà Fausto Ferrari mentre il commento sarà affidato all’on. Mauro Del Bue, grande esperto ed appassionato di lirica
Il costo dei biglietti è di 25€ e 12€ per il Loggione e la prevendita è prevista a partire da Domenica 27 Settembre presso la biglietteria del Teatro Asioli, dalle ore 10 alle ore 13, e gli altri giorni dalle 17 alle 19.

ENHORABONA JOSEP!!
THESSALONIKI TO PAVAROTTI – THERE, THE WORD FRIENDSHIP WAS WRITTEN BY JOSEP CARRERAS IN BIG CAPITAL LETTERS.
ReplyDeleteEL PAVAROTTI DE ORO QUEDARÁ EN MANOS DE ORO. CREO QUE UNA PEQUENA CRONICA SOBRE LO QUE PASÓ EN THESSALONIKI HABLA MÁS ALTO QUE TODO CUANTO PUEDA YO DECIR!
THE JOY OF BEING PERFORMING! I THINK THIS COULD WELL BE ONE OF THE POSSIBLE TITLES FOR THE HOMAGE I BELIEVE JOSEP CARRERAS PAYED TO LUCIANO PAVAROTTI, SOME HOURS AGO, LAST NIGHT, IN THESSALONIKI.
DOES ANYONE DOUBTS THAT, SINCE 2007, WHEN JOSEP CARRERAS SINGS AROUND THESE DAYS, HE IS DEDICATING HIS PERFORMANCE TO LUCIANO PAVAROTTI? AS FAR AS I KNOW, HE DID NOT SAY IT, BUT I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT, ONCE AGAIN, HE DID IT. YOU COULD FEEL IT. AND THE MARVELLOUS THING WAS THAT YESTERDAY NIGHT, IN THE TEATRO GHYS, THE WORD FRIENDSHIP WAS WRITTEN BY JOSEP CARRERAS IN BIG CAPITAL LETTERS COMING FROM INTIMACY – NOT A WORD ABOUT THE MATTER -; PRIME RATE ARTISTRY; AND BRAVERY - IT WAS A CONCERT HE BRAVELY CONQUERED FROM THE POOR CLIMATE CONDITIONS. HE SURPRISED EVERYONE BY SINGING UNDER THE THREAT OF RAIN, FACING AN UGLY WIND, AND DEFYING THE TEMPERATURE – BITTER COLD IN THESSALONIKI, THAT NIGHT.
EVERYONE WAS CONVINCED THAT OUR TENOR WOULD ARRIVE TO THE THEATRE AND WOULD SAY SOMETHING LIKE: “THERE ARE NO CONDITIONS TO PERFORM. BUT HE DIDN’T! AFTER THE ORCHESTRA HAD BEEN CALL TO THE STAGE IN ORDER TO START THE REHEARSAL, SOMEONE FROM THE PRODUCTION KEPT ASKING: “BUT IS MR. CARRERAS GOING TO PERFORM? BUT IS MR. CARRERAS GOING TO PERFORM?” “YES!”, “YES”, KEPT ANSWERING MICHAEL STORRS WITH A SMILE. DURING THE REHEARSAL HE JOKED, FOUND A WAY TO CHANGE THE LYRICS OF ONE OF THE SONGS IN ORDER TO SING “FA UN FRED…”. HE ASSURED HE WAS PERFECTLY OK, WHEN GIMENEZ TOLD HIM HE DIDN’T NEED HIM ANYMORE! AND HE DID PERFORM! AND, HOW HE DID IT! FIRST OF ALL, IN TOP FORM AND TOP VOICE. AND I COULD FEEL THAT ALL THOSE INGREDIENTS OF HIS ARTISTRY WERE SHINING UNDER THE LIGHT OF THE INTIMATE HOMAGE HE WAS PAYING TO HIS FRIEND. IF THIS WAS TRUE THROUGHOUT THE ALL CONCERT, THE TOP MOMENT CAME, IN MY OPINION, WITH “PASSIONE”. JOSEP CARRERAS DID OFFER LUCIANO ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL THINGS. PURE JOY FOR BEING ON THE STAGE; A COMPLETELY AND PASSIONATED DELIVERY; A DEEP, BRIGHT AND SENSUAL SOUND; AN HEARTFELTED “LIPPEN SCHWEIGEN” TOPPED WITH A POWERFUL AND CLEAR B FLAT; AN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT GRANADA; AN OUTSTANDING CUOR ‘NGRATTO; A SUPERB PERFORMANCE OF “YA MIS HORAS FELICES”; A “CHITARRA ROMANA” THAT I KEEP IN MY HEART AS UN UNFORGETTABLE MOMENT OF THIS TRIBUTE TO LUCIANO PAVAROTTI; AN EXQUISITE PHRASING, FROM THE BEGINNING UNTIL THE END; AND THAT SO PERFECT LINE OF SINGING THAT AFTER FIVE WORDS MAY ALREADY LEAVE YOU BREATHLESS. ALL OF THIS, AND MUCH MORE, HE OFFERED TO HIS FRIEND.
AND, WHY WAS THAT THE RAIN FINALLY WENT AWAY? BESIDES THE ONE FROM EARTH TO HEAVEN, WAS THERE ANY STRONG EMBRACE BEING SENT FROM HEAVEN TO EARTH? WHEREVER HE IS, I DO THINK LUCIANO PAVAROTTI WAS MOVED BY THE SO INTIMATE, SINCERE, POWERFUL AND AFFECTIONED HOMAGE HE GOT FROM JOSE CARRERAS, LAST NIGHT!
VA POR TI, LUCIANO, DONDE QUIERA QUE ESTÉS, COM TODO MI CARIÑO!
VA POR TI, QUERIDO JOSEP! COM TODO MI AFECTO! GRÀCIES, POR ESE EJEMPLO TAN SENCILLO CUANTO MAGISTRAL DE COMO HOMENAGEAR TAN PROFUNDAMENTE A UN AMIGO!
Para que quede claro de que "tipo de frío" estoy hablando - por si hace falta - quisiera decir que estoy bajo dos antibióticos, desde mi regreso. Y, podrían ser tres o los que fueran! NO ME LO PERDERÍA POR NADA DE ESTE MUNDO!!
