Ci puograve; essere ancora spazio ai nostri giorni per le parole di un illustre scrittore dellrsquo;800; che descrisse con orgoglio lrsquo;arte italiana presente allrsquo;Esposizione Universale di Parigi del 1867 ? Francesco Dellrsquo;Ongaro fu anche un vero patriota del periodo risorgimentale; e nel 1848 scriveva con grande passione: ldquo;E la bandiera di tre colori/sempre egrave; stata la piugrave; bella/noi vogliamo sempre quella/noi vogliam la libertagrave;!rdquo; Degli stessi anni sono le parole dellrsquo;Inno di Mameli; che ancora oggi ci rappresenta nel mondo. In questo libro Dallrsquo;Ongaro decanta con orgoglio la grandezza dellrsquo;arte italiana di quellrsquo;epoca; ma non nasconde un indubbio decadimento rispetto al glorioso periodo rinascimentale. Il termine odierno Expo; che caratterizza lo stesso tipo di manifestazioni; egrave; essenziale e moderno; ma se vogliamo molto meno ldquo;poeticordquo;; e sottolinea una certa involuzione generale del gusto artistico. Lo spazio per le parole di Francesco Dallrsquo;Ongaro allora puograve;; anzi deve ancora esistere; per aiutarci a capire chi eravamo; chi siamo; ed immaginare chi saremo. Lrsquo;italico ingegno egrave; un dono della natura; ed ogni periodo di decadenza ha sempre preparato il terreno per nuove forme di rinascimento

Essential reading for music lovers!By PaulThis biography of Lenny Breau shines for its scope of presentation. musical insight and an honest and compassionate portrait of one of the greatest guitarists of all time. The book was exhaustively researched and the fact that Mr Forbes-Roberts is himself an accomplished guitarist adds immeasurably to the high water mark of detailing the great innovations that Mr Breau brought to his instrument. The organization of all the material herein is marvelous and a benchmark of clarity. Lennys personal difficulties in having huge difficulties in looking after himself are explained in painful detail - yet yield an understanding of the ravages that are endemic to the music business. and especially as the industry pertains to very gifted and sensitive musicians.I cannot see the need for another Breau biography after this one. For those that love and admire Lennys music. we should all be in gratitude for Forbes-Roberts contribution to a first class biography. Two thumbs up. and for those who play guitar. this book will inspire you to play more often!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
