A special meeting with the Maestro Giordani, awarded during the XXVI "Taormina Awards for the Arts and Sciences 2013 "Delivered a personality like him, which they have helped to enhance the name of Taormina and Sicily worldwide.
Maestro Giordani She is now considered among the most interesting tenors on the international scene. An artist of his level, after winning with his voice and his charisma Europe and America, What can still be desired?
I would say that I have made all my dreams with regard to my career and to receive a prize, especially in Sicily my Earth, It is for me a great honor.
As his Italian relied on his professional and artistic choices? He feels indebted to the Italian operatic tradition and to what extent?
I'm always indebted Italy and Italian operatic tradition, because thanks to Italy I became what I am and that is why with great honor that I carry my Sicilian and proudly around the world introducing the Italian language through music.
The Foundation is entitled to its name a reference point for many young talents. How is your mission linked to the spread of Italian bel canto in the world.
First of all thank you for the question. The Foundation was established three years ago in the USA to help talented young people who have the desire to pursue this career but is also to encourage them to learn the Italian language well then that is the primary purpose of the Foundation. We help them with monitoring, with scouting, with the concerts they share with me, with master classes and competition then concludes this experience.
Young people and the’ opera: a relationship interesting and always new that reserve ample room for surprise.
I hope that young people who come to the opera are increasingly. I just came back from Bucharest, where I had the pleasure to be in committee for a singing contest. I have met many talented young people from 21 to 32 age. Great talent, great voices and a great desire to do. So I believe and trust in young and in spite of many Cassandras who argue that the work is destined to die, I am convinced of the opposite opinion.
How do you see the situation in Italy and in Europe in management culture within the operatic and symphonic? Do you think we should take a cue from some healthy entrepreneurship and the American system of private sponsorship.
Assolutamente si! Why we would appreciate meritocracy, what in the USA rewards quality, the real and durable that does not end in the space of a handful of TV appearances. If I can do a little 'controversy, media today only appreciate the good looks. Bravery, the preparation, studies in opera singing have become optional. Talent and reality shows do not believe that those are the 'truth' of the world of music. But in reality it is not so.
She is a citizen and artist of the world: as lives (and he lives it) sense of nostalgia, the distance, back to his land. Themes and ideas that formed the grounds for such poetic production melodic, which still makes up a large part of the tenor repertoire. Think of the many Neapolitan songs…
I perceive this very sense of loneliness when I go abroad, However, I am filled with joy when I meet Italians and especially Sicilians. There is in them a sense of fraternity that I can not find in our land. This sadness I feel is then compensated by this joy. Melancholy and a sense of detachment will always carry with me : It is also why I always return with great joy in my Island.
After so many years of career, such as the roles in which today, in dazzling maturity, It is recognized for vocal characteristics and emotional attitudes?
Without any doubt Puccini He is the author I love the most in absolute, perché, unlike Verdi which is much more cerebral, He is the composer who speaks much more to the strings of the heart and soul. His music is the opera repertoire I sing more willingly.
