Sonora 709 - classic: GOLDBERG VARIATIONS
J. S. Bach – Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 (version for string trio)
A masterpiece of keyboard music (and music in general), the Goldberg Variations are presented here in a version for string trio. This composition, completely unusual for Bach, who had rarely written a theme and variations before, is said to have been written for the young virtuoso pianist Goldberg to help his patron and commissioner of the variations, Count Keyserling, fall asleep. A circular work made up of golden proportions both in its overall structure and in the individual variations, which sometimes (as in the Quodlibet) echo German folklore. ‘It is music, in short, that knows neither beginning nor end, music without a real climax and without a real resolution’ (Glenn Gould).

J. S. Bach: Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G major, BWV 1048
Jean Sibelius: Canzonetta, Op. 62a
Vanni Moretto: Ex silentio (Italian premiere)
W. A. Mozart: Piano Concerto in E-flat major, K. 271 “Jeunehomme”
This program could be considered a small compendium of the different ways in which the individual elements that make up an orchestra can interact and relate to each other.
In Bach's Third Brandenburg Concerto, written for nine strings (divided into groups of three) and basso continuo, the individual components are called upon to engage in a dense concertante dialogue in which the responsibility for both the solo passages and the dense, pulsating texture that sustains and drives the entire composition is shared equally by all. After this sort of incandescent fireball, which, except for a brief central suspension, releases energy with equal intensity throughout its development, we move on to Jean Sibelius's ‘Canzonetta’, taken from the incidental music for the play ‘Kuolema’ (death in Finnish). Here, it is the power of the melody that shapes the writing of the piece, organizing the sections of the ensemble into singing roles, alternately entrusted to the first violins and cellos, and accompanying roles. The rarefied atmosphere, the pace, and the “color” of the sound prepare the audience for the third piece on the program: Ex Silentio by Vanni Moretto. Presented here in its Italian premiere, this piece, commissioned from the Milanese composer in 2024 by the Opéra-Théâtre de Clermont-Ferrand, features a new distribution of roles dictated by the form of the concerto for solo instrument and orchestra. The orchestra opens the piece by offering a landscape with uncertain contours from which the solo violin draws the elements to shape form and meaning; on the one hand, the world, on the other, the individual experience that interprets and shapes it in its own interiority and determines its narrative. Another piece for solo instrument and orchestra, this time no longer for strings alone, concludes the program. This is Mozart's Piano Concerto K. 271, “Jeunehomme.” In the evolution of this form, to which Mozart made an enormous contribution, the Jeunehomme represents a decisive turning point between the style of the Salzburg period and that of the Viennese period. The soloist dialogues with the orchestra from the very first bars, according to a concept that clearly goes beyond the juxtaposition of soloist and orchestra, intertwining the musical discourse in a logic of continuous exchange. The protagonist is precisely this dialogue, rich in ideas, surprises, digressions, and different emotional states. It is a hierarchically mobile dynamic to which the soloist and orchestra contribute with equal force of necessity.

LADRE DI SABBIA
By and with Guido Barbieri.
It tells the story of Cape Verdean women forced to ‘steal’ sand from the archipelago's beaches to resell it to local construction companies. A way, often the only one possible, to survive the poverty to which many of them are condemned. The work revolves around ‘live’ images created by Gabriella Compagnone, one of Italy's best known and most appreciated sand artists, and uses a text written for the occasion by playwright Guido Barbieri. The musical part is entrusted to the quintet of the Calamani Philharmonic Orchestra conducted for the occasion by violinist and composer Marcello Fera, who has transcribed for string orchestra some of the most beautiful Cape Verdean mornas

Canti dal Silenzio
The level was high in all respects, splendid and homogeneous sound on all four strings, almost impeccable intonation and an extremely polished way of delivering or removing any musical element. [...]Marcello Fera has been able to reach the Fera has managed to reach the primordial place of every musician [...] that enchantment with which the relationship with the music is born and that it is the privilege of a few to preserve - achieved not by fortune but by consciousness, as it came to us explaining
Francesco Denini on SuonoSonda
It was not a concert in the strict sense of the word: Fera invented a way of being on stage that was really little frequented by the instrumentalists and even composers, because by playing he told his story, he told his art and his life as an artist.
