Jordan\u2019s leading classical music broadcaster will play\u00a0for first time\u00a0the recordings of Francesco Mander, an orchestra conductor and composer of international renown,\u00a0 in digital format. The Italian Embassy in Amman announced the event which will coincide with World Music Day, which falls on the summer solstice each year and features a rich calendar of events all over Europe. This confirms Italy\u2019s commitment in promoting our musical culture.<\/p>\n
The project was spearheaded by the conductor\u2019s widow, Annemarie Mander, who made a selection of original recordings featuring the most famous orchestras and soloists who made the history of\u00a0music\u00a0in the twentieth century. Mander\u2019s long career began in 1940, and he conducted Oistrakh, Kempff, Rubinstein, Arrau, Ogdon, Argerich, Ferras, Fournier and Uto Ughi among others. He also taught Zubin Mehta.<\/p>\n
His vast repertoire and cultural interests, ranging from philosophy to literature, made him a very charismatic figure for students and the general public alike. As a conductor, he was very demanding, and loved saying that \u201cMozart\u2019s subtle humour won\u2019t come out if his pieces are played badly: the only solution is to only give high quality concerts, especially when the public is not expert and does not have effective terms of reference\u201d. For Mander, \u201cmusic is emotion and thought, the highest form of art, and art is the essence that reflects the whole of civilisation. It is the \u2018universal language\u2019 on this Earth. This is our life, so this is our art, because they are inseparable. Art, literature and music cannot be separated from life\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jordan\u2019s leading classical music broadcaster will play\u00a0for first time\u00a0the recordings of Francesco Mander, an orchestra conductor and composer of international renown,\u00a0 in digital format.
