Скачать или смотреть The Poets' Waltz: Dmitri Shostakovich' Waltz 2

Daniela Ripetti Pacchini -- "The Poets' Waltz".
Music: The Second Waltz of Shostakovich played by André Rieu.
'Waltz 2' is the seventh movement (and the 'second' waltz) of the eight movements of the "Suite for Variety Orchestra", also named "Suite for Variety Stage Orchestra". For many years the Suite for Variety Orchestra was misidentified as the "lost" suite for Jazz Orchestra No.2, which is a different work . See note 1).
This video is a memory of the "2nd International Festival of the Poets" held in1980 at Piazza di Siena in Rome. The memory is evoked by a T-shirt of that event found an old trunk.
In my dreaming reconstruction images of places and poets follow one after the other and seem to dance to the captivating rhythm of Shostakovich's Waltz.
Not only poets coming from all over the world, but also musicians, astronomers, astronauts, astrophysicists and comedians participated in the 2nd International Festival of the Poets, conceived and organized by Simone Carella, Ulisse Benedetti (Beat 72 Cultural Association) & Franco Cordelli and sponsored by the peerless City Councillor Renato Nicolini, the creator of the 'Roman Summer'. That international meeting of 'poets off the page' was an Aion, a 'hot' event before the 'Winter Journey' of the 1980s (to quote F. Schubert and Augusto Illuminati) , an event where many contradictions imploded in the soft machine of verses.
Some photos included in this remembrance are mine, some are by Agnese De Donato and Giorgio Piredda, some by Dino Ignani (pictures of the stage of the Festival, Gino Scartaghiande, Amelia Rosselli, Bianca Maria Frabotta, Gabriella Sica, Jolanda Insana, Edith Bruck, Maria Luisa Spaziani, Valentino Zeichen, Alfredo Giuliani, Sandra Petrignani, Gino Scartaghiande). http://www.dinoignani.net/.

Note 1) 'Waltz 2' was used on the soundtrack to the 1999 Stanley Kubrick film "Eyes Wide Shut" (based on Arthur Schnitzler's "Traumnovelle) . The greater part of the "Suite for Variety Orchestra" is material recycled and assembled by Shostakovich at least post-1956; and the "Waltz 2" was adapted from the "Waltz" (eight movement) from the Suite from "The First Echelon", Op. 99a (1956). "The First Echelon (Pervyy eshelon)" is a 1955 soviet film directed by M.K. Kalatozov.

In questo video la 'Madeleine proustiana' evocatrice dei ricordi è una maglietta, la maglietta del "2° Festival Internazionale dei Poeti" , ritrovata in un vecchio baule.
Quel caleidoscopico Festival, includeva oltre a poeti provenienti da tutto il mondo, anche musicisti, astronomi, astronauti, astrofisici e comici. Esso fu un Aion, un evento 'caldo' prima della lunga fredda stagione degli anni ottanta. Un evento in cui, nella morbida macchina dei versi, si condensarono ed implosero molte contraddizioni come era già accaduto del 1° Festival Internazionale dei Poeti di Castelporziano nel 1979.
