The look, even before the mere listening, is worth the price of the ticket. Wooden blocks and drums pile up on the stage, along with small and large membranophones (the instruments whose sound is produced by the vibration of a skin). And then there is never a shortage of cymbals, gongs, triangles, but also timpani, tubular bells and xylophones. Sometimes the gaze focuses on some ethnic instrument: not only the South American maracas (now at home here too) but, as will happen this afternoon at the end of the concert, an authentic Japanese o-daiko, an imposing drum used in sacred dances and ceremonies Buddhist traditions.
In short, everything that vibrates - whether membrane, wood or metal body - is good for making music. And then the boundary is blurred. The percussionist, even in Conservatory classes, is a human kind in himself. For those who are passionate about classical music but not disdaining more modern sounds and contaminations, he will find in Fabrizio Meloni a leading interpreter without academicism. Fabrizio Meloni, first solo clarinet of the Orchestra del Teatro and Filarmonica della Scala since 1984, shines with a technical level incredible and reckless.
