Descripción de 270: Alexandre Ritter on method books, new works, and Brazilian double bass

Alexandre Ritter has become a champion of Armando Trovajoli's work Sconcerto. Once you hear this amazing piece, you'll understand why. Written for Franco Petracchi, this work has been largely unplayed until Alex got his hands on it. The process was complex, but Alex worked it out to record the entire piece and publish it on YouTube. This piece is destined to become one of the major concert works for orchestra. It's jazzy, colorful, mysterious, and magical. But that's not all Alex is doing these days. We dig deep into Bille, how Alex uses it in his teaching, and we get into the debate of using the 3rd finger in the lower positions like what’s printed in Bille—Alex makes a compelling case for it. While we were talking, he actually grabbed the bass and played through several examples for me! Alex and I also talk about the experience of leaving Brazil to study in Georgia, how philosophy has influenced his thinking, job prospects in Brazil, and much more!

Con Música Antigua pretendemos mostrar la inmensa riqueza de los cerca de diez siglos de música (desde el siglo VIII al XVIII) que no es muy frecuente escuchar. La música de la Edad Media como la del Renacimiento y del primer Barroco es extraordinariamente variada y atractiva. Por ello los programas son muy diferentes uno del otro. Además cada día dedicamos el programa a un tema (La muerte, los pájaros, Venecia, el Amor, los madrigales..), así que es un reto encontrar músicas referente a esos temas y que cumplan los niveles de indiscutible calidad musical e interpretativa, condición indispensable para ser incluida.
