Francesco Paolo Tosti

ʻO ka haku mele ʻItalia ʻo Francesco Paolo Tosti ke kumuhana o ke aloha mau loa o ka poʻe mele a me nā mea aloha mele. Kakaʻikahi ka polokalamu o ka ʻaha mele hoʻokahi o ka hōkū Marechiare or Hoʻokaʻawale ʻo Dawn i ke aka mai ka mālamalama, ʻO ka hoʻokō encore o ke aloha o Tosti e hōʻoiaʻiʻo i ka leo hoihoi mai ka lehulehu, a ʻaʻohe mea e ʻōlelo ai e pili ana i nā disc. Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā hana leo a ka haku e nā mele mele maikaʻi ʻole.

ʻAʻole pēlā me ka hoʻohewa mele. Ma waena o nā kaua honua ʻelua, ʻelua "gurus" o ka musicology Italian, ʻo Andrea Della Corte lāua ʻo Guido Pannen, i paʻi i ka puke History of Music, kahi, mai nā hana nui maoli a Tosti (i nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ua paʻi ka hale hoʻopuka Ricordi. he hōʻuluʻulu piha o nā mele no ka leo a me ka piano i ʻumikūmāhā (!) mau puke) i hoʻopakele nui ʻia mai ka poina hoʻokahi wale nō mele, i ʻōlelo ʻia e mākou Marechiare. ʻO ka hiʻohiʻona o nā haku i ukali ʻia e nā hoa hana kaulana ʻole: ʻo nā mea kākau a pau o nā mele salon, nā mea kākau o nā mele a me nā mele i mālama ʻia me ka hoʻowahāwahā, inā ʻaʻole hoʻowahāwahā ʻia. Ua poina ia mau mea a pau.

ʻO nā mea a pau koe ʻo Tostya. Mai nā salon aristocratic, neʻe mālie kāna mau mele i nā hale ʻaha mele. Loa belatedly, koʻikoʻi hoʻohewa pū kekahi e pili ana i ka haku mele mai Abruzzo: i ka makahiki 1982, ma kona kaona o Ortona (ka mokuna o Chieti), ua hookumuia ka National Institute of Tosti, e aʻo ana i kona hoʻoilina.

Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Francesco Paolo Tosti ma ʻApelila 9, 1846. Ma Ortona, aia kahi hale pule kahiko ma ka Cathedral o San Tommaso. Ma laila i hoʻomaka ai ʻo Tosti e aʻo i ka mele. I ka makahiki 1858, i ka ʻumi o kona mau makahiki, ua loaʻa iā ia kahi haʻawina aliʻi Bourbon, i hiki ai iā ia ke hoʻomau i kāna aʻo ʻana ma ka Conservatory kaulana o San Pietro a Majella ma Naples. ʻO kāna mau kumu i ka haku mele nā ​​haku koʻikoʻi o ko lākou manawa: ʻo Carlo Conti lāua ʻo Saverio Mercadante. ʻO ka "maestrino" kahi kiʻi ʻano o ke ola conservatory - nā haumāna i ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma ka ʻepekema mele, i hāʻawi ʻia i ke aʻo ʻana i nā ʻōpio. ʻO Francesco Paolo Tosti kekahi o lākou. I ka makahiki 1866, ua loaʻa iā ia kahi diploma ma ke ʻano he violinist a hoʻi i kona kamaʻāina ʻo Ortona, kahi i lawe ai ʻo ia i kahi o ka luna mele o ka hale pule.

I ka makahiki 1870, ua hōʻea ʻo Tosti i Roma, kahi i wehe ai kāna kamaʻāina me ka haku mele ʻo Giovanni Sgambati i nā puka o nā hale mele a me nā aristocratic nona. Ma ke kapikala o ka Italia hou, hui pū ʻia, ua kaulana ʻo Tosti ma ke ʻano he mea kākau o nā romances salon nani, āna i mele pinepine ai, e hele pū ana me ia i ka piano, a me ke kumu mele. Ke waiho nei ka ʻohana aliʻi i ka kūleʻa o ka maestro. Ua lilo ʻo Tosti i kumu hīmeni no ke Kamāliʻiwahine Margherita o Savoy, ka Mōʻīwahine o Italia e hiki mai ana.

I ka makahiki 1873, hoʻomaka kāna hui pū ʻana me ka hale paʻi puke ʻo Ricordi, kahi e hoʻopuka ai ma hope aku kokoke i nā hana a Tosti; ʻelua makahiki ma hope mai, ua kipa ʻo Maestro iā ʻEnelani no ka manawa mua, kahi i kaulana ai ʻo ia ʻaʻole wale no kāna mele, akā no kāna kumu kumu. Mai ka makahiki 1875, ua hoʻokani ʻo Tosti ma ʻaneʻi i kēlā me kēia makahiki me nā ʻahamele, a i ka makahiki 1880 ua neʻe ʻo ia i Lākana. Ua hāʻawi ʻia iā ia ka hoʻonaʻauao leo o nā kaikamahine ʻelua a Queen Victoria ʻo Mary lāua ʻo Beatrix, a me ka Duchess of Tack a me Alben. Ua hoʻokō maikaʻi ʻo ia i nā hana a ka mea hoʻonohonoho i nā ahiahi mele o ka ʻaha: he nui ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana o ka moʻi wahine no ka maestro Italia, ma kēia ʻano a ma ke ʻano he mele.

I ka pau ʻana o nā makahiki 1880, ʻaʻole i hele ʻo Tosti i ka paepae o nā makahiki he kanahā, a ʻaʻole ʻike palena ʻia kona kaulana. ʻO kēlā me kēia mele i paʻi ʻia he lanakila koke. ʻAʻole poina ka "Londoner" mai Abruzzo e pili ana i kona ʻāina hānau: hele pinepine ʻo ia i Roma, Milan, Naples, a me Francavilla, kahi kūlanakauhale ma ka ʻāina ʻo Chieti. Ua kipa ʻia kona hale ma Francavilla e Gabriele D'Annunzio, Matilde Serao, Eleonora Duse.

Ma Lākana, lilo ʻo ia i "patron" o nā hoa aloha e ʻimi nei e komo i loko o ka honua mele Pelekane: aia ma waena o lākou ʻo Pietro Mascagni, Ruggiero Leoncavallo, Giacomo Puccini.

Mai ka makahiki 1894, he polopeka ʻo Tosti ma ka London Royal Academy of Music. I ka makahiki 1908, hoʻolauleʻa ka "House of Ricordi" i ke kenekulia o kona hoʻokumu ʻia ʻana, a me ka haku mele, e hoʻopau ana i ka centenary o ka hana o ka hale hoʻolaha nani o Milanese ma ka helu 112, ʻo ia ʻo "Songs of Amaranta" - ʻehā romances e Tosti ma nā mele. na D'Annunzio. I kēlā makahiki hoʻokahi, hāʻawi ʻo King Edward VII iā Tosti i ka inoa baronet.

I ka makahiki 1912, ua hoʻi ka Maestro i kona ʻāina hānau, ua hala nā makahiki hope o kona ola ma ka Hotel Excelsior ma Roma. Ua make ʻo Francesco Paolo Tosti ma Roma i ka lā 2 o Dekemaba, 1916.

ʻO ke kamaʻilio ʻana no Tostya wale nō ʻo ia ka mea nāna i poina ʻole, nā mele hoʻokalakupua maoli, hoʻokahi a no nā mea a pau e komo i loko o ka puʻuwai o ka mea hoʻolohe, ʻo ia ka hāʻawi ʻana iā ia i hoʻokahi wale nō o nā hanohano āna i lanakila ai. Ua ʻike ʻia ka mea haku mele e ka noʻonoʻo paʻa a me ka ʻike maopopo loa i kona hiki. ʻAʻole ʻo ia i kākau i nā opera, e hoʻopaʻa iā ia iho i ke ʻano o ke keʻena leo leo. Akā ʻo ia ka mea kākau o nā mele a me nā mele, ua lilo ʻo ia i poina ʻole. Ua kaulana lākou iā ia ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa. Hōʻailona ʻia ke mele a Tostya e ke ʻano maoli o ka lāhui, ke ʻano maʻalahi, ka hanohano a me ka nani o ke ʻano. Mālama ʻo ia i nā ʻano o ka lewa o ka mele Neapolitan, kona melancholy hohonu. Ma waho aʻe o ka leo mele i wehewehe ʻole ʻia, ʻike ʻia nā hana a Tosti e ka ʻike impeccable o nā hiki o ka leo kanaka, kūlohelohe, lokomaikaʻi, kahi kaulike kupaianaha o nā mele a me nā huaʻōlelo, a me ka ʻono nani i ke koho ʻana i nā kikokikona poetic. Ua hana ʻo ia i nā mele he nui i ka hui pū ʻana me nā haku mele Italia kaulana, ua kākau pū ʻo Tosti i nā mele ma nā ʻōlelo Farani a me Pelekane. ʻO nā mea haku mele ʻē aʻe, kona mau hoa, he ʻokoʻa wale nō i kekahi mau hana kumu a ma hope mai ua hana hou lākou iā lākou iho, ʻoiai ke mele a Tostya, ka mea kākau o nā puke he ʻumikumamāhā o nā romances, e mau ana i kahi kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe. Hahai kekahi momi i kekahi.
