the shadow


Among the books he wanted to read before the end of the year was the shadow Flores, Mexican Ivan Hernandez (1977). Fortunately the book was in good time and I read it in one go, experiencing all the feelings that can and should produce reading a good book. This is a storybook come Iván Hernández making for quite some time. He knew early versions of several of them, but definitely not the same as when the reunion into a larger whole that gives them more meaningful, allowing you to contrast that, finally, offers a world of their own. It is a book divided into two sections: Flowers and roots, with characters who suddenly are facing small or large projects, the dreams we all have to change the course of these lives, but in the stories in this book are life seem doomed to have a circus-like aura of show poor calibration of contortionists who leave the stage knowing that they will regain their original shape. However, in this world proposed by Ivan Hernandez only a few manage to escape, and not necessarily the strongest.

How Reliable Is A Mini

Purcell: Chaconne in G minor (Z730)

Dear reader, I beg you hold your attention in this little dance, maybe you feel insubstantial, made around 1680 by a callow London. At that time the theater began their representations instrumental music, played off stage and presumably psychic connection with the ensuing drama. These short pieces providing entertainment for the public to arrive early to reserve your seat, and served as a warning to the players that the work would begin shortly. It is considered an independent part to the point that viewers could retire after his hearing with full refund of the localities. Although its origin is uncertain, it is believed that Henry Purcell (1659-1695) composed this chaconne in this scenario, with the practical aspect of its construction in sections, with the possibility of indefinite repetition, or otherwise, with rapid conclusion once the audience was ready.

The Chacony in G minor (Z730) is built on the foundations of a recurring theme of eight bars in the lower ( ostinato or ground ) creating an overwhelming inertia melodic and harmonic combinations along eighteen variations. What gives the piece its particular swing is the slight accent on the second support ( pointeé French) of ternary rhythm. always maintaining a family structure, recurring in every variation , deliberately restricted uses language and a simple melodic line flowing by constantly changing rhythmic patterns . The violent chromaticism becomes saturated with melancholy, f orjando the strict but sensitive piece of goldsmith counterpoint and therefore are closest to the contemporary fantasies that ceremonial music of Lully and Purcell dessert. The composition ends with a expressively section labeled "soft , where disagreements and parade in succession ripped xcepcionalmente ( features false relations of English music of XVI century).





The quality of a interpretation can only be judged subjectively based on the level of excitement and pleasure it evokes. The problem is that the first LP I bought was this, and much that we hacks counter protest at the idea a good deal of criticism label starts from premises rooted in feelings erected by these seminal experiences. Those who can reprogram your so innocent ear greatly enjoy (hopefully) with the trip proposed sigfridiano Rudolf Baumgartner at the helm of the Lucerne Festival Strings (DG, 1968) and the dance becomes a funeral elegy bruckneriana, with the bass strings marking dramatic lines while trailing morbidly telluric forces. Modern say that the joint is heavy, symphonic outdated fashion, phrasing homogeneous romantic thick, thick texture and incessant intensely expressive vibrato. is because d ECIA Polish harpsichordist Wanda Landowska, " The natives of the Fiji Islands kill their parents when they grow old and this is precisely the same moral rules music." Progress and modernity were the pillars of the crusade of the historicist movement, which in its revolutionary zeal denied any previous interpretation inscrutable, and that caused the embalming of this historic Purcell, and possibly false (but, what is the true face of Purcell ?, does the framing for the pompous wig talqueado that his legitimacy as a court musician for life real, or does the user's tireless middling brothels? Rumors have facilitated his wife his death, close-by neglect, naturally - a crude home-door winter night ...)


To facilitate listening I have grouped all versions in one link:
(All the versions in one link)






Originally published in an album entitled: "Sacred music at the Court Inglés "-all of a detail concerning the design solemn Gustav Leonhardt, the chaconne exudes austerity, seriousness and nobility. Perhaps you are missing a bit of rhythmic thrust, since the only objective seems to be clear contrapuntal lines. Curious position to run unevenly ( unevenly ) some passages from eighth in line low as dotted eighths and sixteenths (bars 70-76), while in line violin is followed eighth regularly. The Leonhardt Consort displays a small group of eight musicians (2.2.2.1.1) with continuous positive organ. Clara recording but with a metallic taste (Teldec, 1970).






By contrast, the overwhelming sound of significant device of Inglés The Concert-violin I (4), violin II (4), viola (3) , violoncello (2), bass and continuo (the latter, a discrete key imaginative ornamentation played by Trevor Pinnock himself) - recovering from the catacomb metrics dance polished, strong and biting. clear recording (Archiv, 1985) .






Consistency interpretative philological and gathered strength in the reading of The Parley of Instruments: By analysis of the manuscript Peter Holman notes that the second voice of violin works more in the means registration as a soprano, and that therefore could be written chaconne for violin, two violas and a bass (larger and more powerful than the cello and tuned a tone lower), instead of the modern Italian quartet for Purcell to compose the final phase of his life. perspective danceable is fresh and marks a slight harmony, lively theater. Stress flexibility in the phrasing of an instrument by hand, brief the joint, allowing the music breathe. Example of his attention to detail are the eccentric harmonic clashes. The recording quality is the usual (excellent) in Hyperion (1986), seeking a lustrous presence to key continuous thick textures.






"Better a original head an original instrument" used to say to his students Frans Bruggen. Section String of Orchestra of the 18 th Century- caressing soft gathers for the occasion a large contingent of 28 stands. balanced version, modeled after the real works of Lully, which seems more akin to the court that the theater scene (hear this ornamentation start of sentences), with an elegant and sober pace, a delicacy of line, graceful phrasing which gives clear textures and refined harmonic dissonances. Galante takes sound from a public concert (Philips, 1989) .






The Academy of Ancient Music claim the credits on the disc (L'Oiseau Lyre, 1994), but the Chaconne is played with one voice per part, with average voices calling for his role, the appropriately raspy tones, sharp dissonances, j Ugueto dynamic contrasts with slight variations to differentiate, continuous positive body improvised by the same Christopher Hogwood. Sensational almost liquid depth recording.






Leading a quartet (violin I / II, viola, continuo, plus key arpeggios and cascades sheds) culled from the excellent set Musica Antiqua Köln, Reinhard Goebel us offers its characteristic sound extremely energetic, bold tempi, no v ibrato, decided emphasis on pulses strengths of the bars, joints, intense and challenging exemplary tuning. also uses more subtle dynamic resources such as the "messa di voce " applied to a single note, usually a little long, usually at the end of sentences and that is to start soft, grow it and make it to decrease. Takes sound overwhelming (Archiv, 1995).






historicist The international panorama has traditionally been led by groups Northern Europe. Il Giardino Armonico Giovanni Antonini starred commanded by a second revolution expected and passionate South, showcasing their instrumental readings definitely a breakthrough ways with conventional historicist approaches. Thus, the Mediterranean version of the string quartet, gleamed in the accompanying chords and discreet body archilaúd positive, while the dissonances are softened and tempered Dynamic (Teldec, 2001).






Finally, to close the circle, the high court can be convicted and punished as guilty of the exhumation of the neglect of this little masterpiece of Benjamin Britten: His appreciation by the Chacony gave rise to an arrangement for string orchestra in 1947, historicist pretensions and without altering the text, but developing a credible and dynamic structure consisting of rhythmic distribution. An atmospheric sound takes picked up the splendid timbre Inglés Chamber Orchestra conducted by Britten himself in this delightful, inspired, serene, smooth and airy version (Decca, 1968).

What did you do in the 80's, Dad?


I returned to Chile earlier this damn year, fortunately, will end soon. I was saved by chance, the earthquake and tsunami, but could not escape the obvious calamities.

First, the electoral victory of the right, which returned control of the state to the owners of this country, without annoying managers or intermediaries.

And a wave of small disasters, culminating in the epiphany of slip of 33, shown ad nauseum. To which followed the coup in the ANFP, which aimed against Harold Mayne-Nicholls, but actually tended to topple this "broken" Marcelo Bielsa. Anyone who has never finished to understand the logic of market that prevails today in Chile, where things are decided at board meetings and does not need the opinion of the gallery.

When I returned, I should always adapt to the country, although still marked traits of self-sufficiency and insularity. Television newscasts, for example, have always been bad, now they were terrible.

Before we pretended to care what was happening beyond our noses, but now I discovered that even that and worth. There was no international feedback, even news. And so rampant, unchecked, were disguised advertorials and infomercials information.

The alleged economic success has become more navel-gazing than ever. Economy sections of newspapers that speak more than market production, innovation or that crap that nobody cares, as the editors. The Culture absent, if not mere appendages propaganda or dissemination of the publishing industry, music or film.

And Policy, a close battle for figuration, in which everyone competes to be the most unruly or media to get fifteen minutes of fame in LUN or the Telethon.

desexilio confess that my second was not easy. And at various times I was about to throw in the towel and say we just here. The peak of unease came when, still without cable, I had to suck a combo made up of morning television, Ying, Platoon, Focus and other nonsense like that, which is usually the staple diet of most mortals only have at their disposal the option of network TV.

cloistered in that terrible purgatory, so adjacent to hell, what came to my rescue were two things: one, the new feature of civilization, we felt on the streets of Santiago, he disputed bicycle spaces in the file, either in the bikeways or the law of the jungle rules on trails and sidewalks. And two, some chapters of "80", possibly paving the way for the release of the third season, which ended on Sunday, which showed that television could be more than the idiot box designed to numb and stupefied at masses.

Right. "The 80" and the "Cleto" reconciled me to that paradise lost and regained that was returning to Chile after two years. I felt that all was not lost. There was a reason to stay and fight for this little utopia that is the homeland. And so I went again established in the region until new doors opened to welcome me.

First, the old friends. The before and now. Those with whom I share the idea of \u200b\u200bloyalty to a nation of brothers and equal.

And then, by extension, due to technological advances, I was interning and engaging in networks like Twitter, where I discovered that there was space for citizens to exercise a new sociability, to the extent that there was still people who do not buy the boxes which means we sell gift-wrapped. And with a bow of ribbon.

found on Twitter, for example, under the magic of a world that you build to suit, a country as a portable iPhone-which was not I the only idiot he was "with a tear in the throat", as would the illustrious Zalo Reyes, seeing Gabriel and Claudia on the verge of falling into the clutches of the CNI, while enjoying a clandestine love parejero hotel.

In Twitter knew it was not the only moron who had moved to the core when Juan Herrera said goodbye to her father distant and semi-alcoholic, before "the Bald" the recruit to their ranks. And that certainly was not the only fool that he choked on dinner at the time that John gives a last farewell to his old, surrounded by Anita, "the boss", and a cohort of prostitutes provincial, while cuequeros a drum to accompany the deceased's journey across the Styx.

was a rare moment of communion.

The rating, they now say, rose to the clouds. And in many homes Chilean parents, children and grandchildren were met head on with a piece of its history, our history, which until now was not visible, since the TV insists, generally, to be an opaque space which imposes content apricots and banal, rather than being a mirror that returns the image of who we are. With defects and virtues, and without makeup tend to exploit ideological forgetfulness.

After the tears and the lump in the throat, the past was reverberating in the minds of many. Ideas and emotions crowded. Need for recognition and affirmation. A nostalgia that grips the soul when we discover that perhaps we were never better nor worse than in those terrible years in which others lived bubble protected by the old tale of " never-knew-what-you-going-to-my-around . "

many Gabrieles and Claudia met. And many who do not know any happy ending ... I think my friend X, which lifted him to torment the paste in the dungeons of Burgundy, because his picture appeared in the belongings of a former girlfriend of hers who was the Front. Or think of R., who I met as a tender side, with baby-faced and look happy, and died in a clash in Tobalaba airfield when his life had been a complete somersault.

In the Chile of 80, one thing was clear: there was no innocent. There were those who chose the institutionalized violence and state run to finish the work of a country rebuilt to fit his will refounded. And there were those who, tired of turning the other cheek and being the eternal "wedding ducks," called to rebel, which would hand against the order imposed by force.

In between these two fields, a few politicians, who at times seemed to preach in the desert, convened to build bridges between these two irreconcilable worlds that masqueraded as an inevitable disaster that would end up not drag us all.

Who was right? Who performed better? If the answer to these questions, does not take into account the context of the hard times we are living, there is a risk that, in addition to making unhistorical judgments, we are unfair to our past and our consciousness. A past that has become flesh in our lives and which are an inseparable part.

But, of course, that's the beauty of "80." That forces us to reflect on what we are. Mediatintas without anesthesia of any kind. Probably the mirror is cruel. And the portrait out a bit blurred.

Some see it as Gabriel, the militant, determined and fearless, and committed to the ultimate consequences. Others, like Claudia, the girl "wool" and somewhat naive protests jumps and rocks, to face major tests, almost involuntarily. They will not be

few don Genaro, who must admit, with no little shame, they were accomplices, by omission or commission, of a dictatorship, which ended up creating a rarefied atmosphere and oppressive.

Among the perpetrators and heroes, will, of course, ample space to locate those who, like Juan Herrera, retreated to the domestic environment of their homes when the terror and the curfew began to dominate the streets.

Of these fragments, no doubt, is made Chile. A country that today must settle accounts with its history and respond as best as possible the question that this miniseries, which came in its third year, left open to each and every one of us: What did you do in 80, Dad?
