robertorusso — Mon, 07 Aug 2017 17:58:52 +0000

On June the 15th, a new issue of «L’Ospite ingrato» (a review of the interdepartmental center “Franco Fortini” of Siena University, Italy) has been published. Entirely devoted to Music, in this number musicologists, philosophers, critics, writers and musicians propose reflections and studies on general aspects of musical experience in our time, as well as authors, composers and interpreters.

In this issue, edited by Luca Lenzini and Marco Gatto, you will find an interview through which I try to convey to the reader my point of view about the situation of classical music in our time.
