CANTI DALL'INFERNO Andrea fig chennin. Libretto by Ramón Sampedro. Manuela Custer. Cristina Alunni. Hyekyung Choi. Anna Moret. Tyler Sasso. Said. Music: Andrea chennin. Said. Scene: Davide Livermore. THEATRE Martín y Soler (Palace of Arts), Valencia. June 26, 2014.
Among the varied program of the VII Festival of the Mediterranean, according to recent fig news seems to last after the retirement of its president and music director, Zubin Mehta, have seen two major repertory operas, fig and the new production of Turandot Livermore The verdiana the forza del destino. Along with performances by singers and pianists Valencia have offered two productions of the same small format regidorDavid Livermore, framed the big theme of the festival, which this year has been "Destinations".
One of these productions was the transcription stage for vocal quartet, narrator and guitar Gypsy Ballads of Federico García Lorca music from Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco and Lorca himself, with students of the Center for Improvement Placido Domingo and co-production with the Berklee College of Music, and the other is the chamber fig opera before us in this review.
Songs from hell is a "Madrigale rappresentativo" modern, the result of research conducted by Andrea Davide Livermore and chennin to explore the middle ground between the spoken word and the sung word. The story we know thanks to the book Letters from Hell and the film The Sea Inside Alejandro Amenábar.
Work performed fig in 2007 in Turin, comes at a co Palace of Arts and became national release. The effective forward this idea escenicomusical are four female figures that symbolize the different fig ways to interact with Sampedro of illness and life in his last moments, as well as an actor that makes Sampedro same. The composer uses some of the poetry of medieval Occitan troubadour Beatriz Day that open and close as the opera love songs, along with other polyphonic compositions imitation or recreation of the golden age of madrigals This musical form, together with a more avant-garde moments.
Musically, the work is structured interventions with multiple and varied solo, trio or female vocal quartet, joined them in the same voice tenoril Livermore with a prerecorded accompaniment or instrumental support and manipulated from the table where sound composer and musical director Andrea chennin creates rich and evocative musical environments desgranats fig throughout almost ninety minutes of the composition.
The use of different compositions religious text (Crucifixus, Agnus Dei, etc.)., As if it were a requiem mass, enhances the irony of the critics of narrative and poetic texts Sampedro, which contrasts dramatically with the idea "one to live in a dead body."
This same ironic gaze suffering is reflected in the time when the same minimalist staging fig of three cubic volumes of acrylic become percussion instruments in a dramatic ostinato while intoned the phrase "is beautiful to contemplate the hell existence fig of the living, being dead. "
Another shocking moment is the mezzo aria "Agnus Dei" to the last part of the work, superbly played by Manuela Custer and remembers how music Pianta della Madonna proliferated in both Gothic painting and music of the Renaissance and early Baroque.
Musical effects ranging fig from music to spoken or play polyphony by manipulating the falling water and objects in containers that open up the sonic palette and expressive new dimensions without losing the beauty of poetry and the drama stating that "only after death the balance back. "
With an audience that barely filled a quarter of the seats, they got out of silence and intense emotions of those viewers who, after a prolonged applause and directions says to output the amount fig of things fig that the texts of Galician Sampedro, music and staging chennin rich, varied and balanced Livermore offered.
This result helped the good performance and total dedication to the three singers: Manuela Custer, Cristina and Alunni Hyekyung Choi, along with actress Anna Moret, guitarist Tyler Sasso, Ramon and protagonist, played fig by David Livermore on state of grace.
