tri Geen parade, geen patriottisme en geen Poetin: het Rode Plein blijft leeg By nos.nl Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 13:27:19 +0200 Het Rode Plein in Moskou blijft vandaag leeg. Geen trots marcherende militairen, geen voorbijtrekkende tanks of luchtafweersystemen, geen veteranen van de Grote Vaderlandse Oorlog. De coronacrisis heeft roet in het eten gegooid. Het had het hoogtepunt moeten worden van Poetins regeerperiode die in 2000 begon: een grootschalige herdenking van de victorie op nazi-Duitsland, de 75ste Dag van de Overwinning. Maar de grootste militaire parade ooit is de president door de neus geboord. Lijden en ongekende trots 9 mei is de belangrijkste feestdag in Rusland en dit jaar is een kroonjaar. Het is een dag van rouw om de ruim 20 miljoen doden die de toenmalige Sovjet-Unie aan het eind van de Tweede Wereldoorlog te betreuren had. Maar het is ook een dag van ongekende trots. Al dat lijden heeft immers geresulteerd in de verovering van Berlijn en de val van het nazi-regime in mei 1945. Zonder het bloed, het zweet en de tranen van het Rode Leger en de Sovjet-bevolking als geheel was dat nooit gelukt. Hoe graag had Poetin niet op het bordes op het Rode Plein gestaan om de militaire parade af te nemen, geflankeerd door wereldleiders aan de ene kant en het handjevol veteranen dat nog leeft aan de andere kant. Bekeken en bewonderd door tientallen miljoenen televisiekijkers. Een beetje zoals president Loekasjenko van buurland en voormalige Sovjetstaat Wit-Rusland wél deed. Hij vindt het virus een waanvoorstelling: Politiek patriottisme De emotie die de Dag van de Overwinning in Rusland oproept is echt, maar Poetin heeft er een element aan toegevoegd: politiek patriottisme. "We hebben geen ander samenbindend idee dan patriottisme," zei hij in 2016. Een jaar later voegde hij daaraan toe dat het laten varen van patriottisme "heel gevaarlijk is, de eerste stap op weg naar een wereldramp". En tijdens zijn jaarlijkse grote persconferentie van 2019 zei hij: "Naar mijn mening is patriottisme de enig mogelijke ideologie in een moderne democratische samenleving." De 75ste Dag van de Overwinning zou bij uitstek in het teken moeten staan van dat politieke patriottisme en Poetin zou er het boegbeeld van zijn. Niet gegund Poetin vindt dat Russen op zoek moeten naar wat hen bindt: de liefde voor hun vaderland. Het probleem is dat dat zo ongeveer de enige verbindende factor is in Rusland. Op tal van andere terreinen zijn de belangentegenstellingen levensgroot. Een ander probleem is dat Poetin zichzelf als de enig mogelijke leider van dat patriottische Rusland ziet. Hoe dan ook, zijn finest hour is hem niet gegund. Massabijeenkomsten zijn een ernstig risico voor verdere verspreiding van het coronavirus en het gaat wat dat betreft toch al niet al te best in Rusland. Voor Poetin rest een bijrol die hem maar matig zal bevallen. Hij legt een krans bij het graf van de onbekende soldaat, hij spreekt het volk toe, misschien zingt hij 's avonds mee als het de bedoeling is dat heel Rusland het beroemde lied Dag van de Overwinning aanheft. En dan rest hem niets meer dan vanuit zijn slaapkamerraam naar het ongetwijfeld majestueuze vuurwerk te kijken. Full Article
tri Schade bij beschieting luchthaven van Tripoli By nos.nl Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 17:44:19 +0200 Bij een zware beschieting van de luchthaven van de Libische stad Tripoli is een opslagtank voor kerosine in brand gevlogen. Ook zijn een of meerdere vliegtuigen beschadigd geraakt. Het Libische ministerie van Transport zegt dat de beschieting het werk is van troepen van rebellencommandant Haftar. Die probeert al een jaar lang om de Libische hoofdstad in handen te krijgen. Hij doet dat met steun van de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten, Egypte en Rusland. De regering in Tripoli wordt gesteund door Qatar, Turkije en Italië. Wie is wie in het conflict, en waar gaat de strijd over? Een korte uitleg: De internationale luchthaven Mitiga is het laatste vliegveld bij de hoofdstad dat nog in gebruik is, al is dat beperkt. De burgerluchtvaart komt er vanwege herhaaldelijke beschietingen sinds maart al niet meer. In januari ondertekenden zestien landen en organisaties op een top in Berlijn een slotverklaring. Daarin was overeengekomen dat de ondertekenaars zouden stoppen met het leveren van wapens aan Libië. Volgens de Verenigde Naties komt een deel van de ondertekenaars die afspraak niet na. Full Article

Success in his home town of Naples led to court appointments and royal commissions, including his best-known work Il matrimonio segreto (‘The Secret Marriage’) composed for Austrian emperor Leopold II. Other hits include L’impegno superato (‘The Broken Engagement’), an instant success and soon to become one of the most frequently performed of Cimarosa’s comic works, and Penelope that was produced as far away as London in 1817. The Cantata per Ferdinando IV was, however, written as an act of repentance, Cimarosa having made the mistake of backing the failed republican government in 1799. Full Article
tri BEETHOVEN, L. van: Fugues and Rarities for String Quartet (Fine Arts Quartet) (8.574051) By www.naxos.com Published On :: Wed, 01 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT The string quartets of Beethoven are among the greatest works of their kind, but he composed other works for quartet which have been neglected. This album is dedicated to these intriguing rarities. Alongside the wild and monumental Grosse Fuge, in many ways the culmination of Beethoven’s achievements in the string quartet genre, this recording further displays his mastery of counterpoint by bringing to light brilliant yet forgotten original versions of his quartets Op. 18, No. 1 and Op. 131, plus six virtually unknown miniatures, including his Preludes and Fugues.

The Third String Quartet with its evocative subtitle ‘…songs are sung’ represents a culmination of Górecki’s preoccupations with elaborate and emotive melodic shapes and closely intertwined harmonies, its final minutes recalling the beauty and poignancy of the composer’s Third Symphony (Naxos 8.550822). The First and Second String Quartets can be heard on Naxos 8.573919, ‘a recording deserving of the very highest recommendation’ (Gramophone). Full Article

The composer took great delight in writing for overlooked solo instruments, as his Trombone Concerto, garnished with elements of Hungarian folklore, clearly shows. The easy-going, gypsy-influenced Music for Clarinet and Strings is a beautifully proportioned quasi-concerto. The Sinfonia Technica, composed much earlier when he was living in Vienna, and something of a one-off, is an enchanting and exuberantly orchestrated example of ‘industrial music’. Full Article
tri BRETÓN, T.: String Quartets Nos. 1 and 3 (Bretón String Quartet) (8.573037) By www.naxos.com Published On :: Sun, 01 Mar 2020 00:00:00 GMT Tomás Bretón’s distinguished career as an opera composer and leading figure in Madrid’s musical life at the turn of the 20th century has tended to overshadow the significant contribution he made to Spanish chamber music. He remained true to the historic roots of the string quartet genre—his First String Quartet being a tribute to the Viennese tradition in its Classical poise. The Third String Quartet exudes Mendelssohnian inspiration in its first movement with overtly Spanish idioms, the Allegro no mucho third movement also having been turned into a version for piano trio as the Scherzo andalou. This is the first of two albums of the complete string quartets. Full Article

Composed between 2011 and 2012 the Fourth and Fifth Quartets show him at the height of his artistic powers, where he seeks connections across time, and shows a Classical commitment to form, invention and melodic beauty. His conceptions can be Schubertian in scale and scope, while also displaying the influence of Haydn and Bartók. Full Article
