Bollani enchants Rome with the homage to Jesus Christ

(by Claudia Fascia) (ANSA) - ROME, JULY 20 - The variations of Jesus Christ Superstar by Stefano Bollani light up the Cavea of ​​the AuditoriumParco della Musica in Rome, for the Auditorium Reloaded exhibition.
    "I haven't played in public for seven months," says the pianist, happy and excited to return to live with the latest album released in April - Piano Variations onJesus Christ Superstar, a tribute to the 50 years of the iconic sound column - after the long pause imposed by the lockdown.
    The start, in front of an equally excited audience and with the desire to return to being together, is a dutiful tribute to the master Ennio Morricone, with an excerpt from the soundtrack of the film Put one evening for dinner, directed by Giuseppe PatroniGriffi and set to music by the master who died a few weeks does. And while the notes hypnotize the audience, a gust of wind winds the sheets of the score in the air. "The master did not appreciate the Latin American drift that I took," jokes Bollani, the matrix all evening.
    An infectious enthusiasm that of the pianist, with that irreverent way of approaching music that can only have who has deep respect for what he is doing. Pigia suitasti, jumps relentlessly on the stool, gets to his feet, tells jokes about Jesus, speaks softly on the piano persuading himself of too much enthusiasm that for a couple of times during a laser-cut he put the pedals out of use and forced the technicians to intervene, for a narration of rock works with many variations. "The record and the concert are an act of thanks to Lloyd Webber who allowed me to review his work in my own way". (HANDLE).
