The Heart of Sound
A Musical Journey with Vittorio Ghielmi
In 2012, BFMI ex­plored the vi­tal­ity of rur­al life and mu­sic­al tra­di­tions of the Sardini­an Is­land off the beaten tour­ist tracks. This visu­ally stun­ning area on the cent­ral east coast of Sardin­ia is home to the “Cun­cordu de Or­o­sei” en­semble. World-renowned Vi­ola da Gamba play­er Vit­torio Ghielmi and his en­semble “Il Suon­ar Par­lante” join the ex­traordin­ary poly­vocal group to ex­plore new ter­rain with an­cient sounds.
In the broad field of sac­red mu­sic in Sardin­ia, this en­semble un­doubtedly oc­cu­pies a prom­in­ent po­s­i­tion pro­tect­ing their rich pat­ri­mony. Yet, none of them reads mu­sic or has a mu­sic­al back­ground. The back-drop for the story in­to the mu­sic are the lives of the group mem­bers in the vil­lage of Or­o­sei and the Baronia re­gion. The film doc­u­ments the his­tor­ic en­counter of truly ex­traordin­ary artists tak­ing place in this in­spir­ing en­vir­on­ment.

The Colón Ring
Wagner in Buenos Aires
Richard Wag­n­er's "Ring of the Ni­be­lung" hadn't been seen in Buenos Aires for dec­ades. On the eve of the year mark­ing the com­poser's 200th birth­day, it re­turned to the Ar­gen­tine cap­it­al - in a dar­ing abridged ver­sion.

The op­era dir­ect­or Ar­gen­tine Valentina Car­rasco has worked with the award-win­ning Cata­loni­an theatre group "La Fura dels Baus" for the past ten years.
She trans­poses the "Colón Ring" in­to the 1970s - the peri­od of Ar­gen­tina's mil­it­ary dic­tat­or­ship. Sym­bols of that age are seen on the cos­tumes, while the char­ac­ters also make ref­er­ences to the peri­od in their be­ha­vi­or and ges­tures.

BFMI has filmed this the­at­ric­al event of the year: the en­tire Ring in one day, the most lux­uri­ous cast, a le­gendary op­era house with the best acous­tics for Wag­n­er ever heard, a dazzling pro­duc­tion and the most fab­ulous mu­sic.

The Solti Centenary Concert
100th Anniversary of Sir Georg Solti
The 100th an­niversary of the birth of Sir Georg Solti, one of the 20th cen­tury’s most im­port­ant and in­flu­en­tial con­duct­ors, was cel­eb­rated at a gala con­cert in Chica­go on 21 Oc­to­ber.

Valery Ger­giev, the mu­sic­al dir­ect­or of the World Or­ches­tra of Peace con­duc­ted the me­mori­al con­cert. Valery Ger­giev suc­ceeded Georg Solti as con­duct­or of the World Or­ches­tra for Peace when Solti's sud­den death in 1997.
The World Or­ches­tra for Peace was foun­ded in 1995 by Sir Georg Solti to re­af­firm, in his words, “the unique strength of mu­sic as an am­bas­sad­or for peace”. The mu­si­cians who make up the WOP are a se­lec­tion of the finest play­ers drawn from top in­ter­na­tion­al en­sembles.

Highly ac­claimed so­loists René Pa­pe, An­gela Ghe­orghiu as well as the Alumni of Solti Ac­ca­demia and Solti Found­a­tion were cel­eb­rat­ing Solti’s 100th An­niversary with mu­sic by Moz­art, Mahler, Verdi, Strauss, and Bartók. The host of the even­ing was Lady Valer­ie Solti.
