Leonard Bernstein, il compositore: brani essenziali

Leonard Bernstein, il compositore: brani essenziali

Apple Music Classical

Contaminando eredità del passato secondo la tradizione americana, Leonard Bernstein ha immortalato le nevrosi del melting pot newyorkese. Al confine tra musical, colonna sonora e suite sinfonica, il compositore ha dispiegato anche nell'opera una sensibilità teatrale che si manifesta in contrappunti deflagranti e aperture orchestrali tempestose. Palese nel passo spezzato di molte partiture pianistiche come nelle fughe per sassofoni, l'influenza del jazz si ritrova nelle armonie instabili di ispirazione tardoromantica e partecipa del senso di inquietudine che inonda sonate, arie e canti sacri.
