It's easy to say Classical Music...
Today more than ever, people have a genuine anxiety stemming from the need to clearly and unambiguously categorize things, actions, and thoughts. A famous record store owner once told me that he needs to know immediately and without hesitation what genre every record he sells belongs to, because, simply, he needs to know which shelf to put it on... because the public needs to know what they are buying.
It's no coincidence that I emphasized the verb "needs"; and forgive me if my critical thinking is inevitably triggered, but... why "needs" to know? Because perhaps the ability to think for oneself, to autonomously create categories of knowledge, has now become too revolutionary an act for a modern Western society enslaved by the rules of control at all costs, of the moralistic guidance of human beings by an oppressive power increasingly intent on dominating its subjects, rather than serving its citizens.
And in this context, nothing can be left to chance, least of all the ability to think autonomously within the realm of "dangerously" cultural content, such as music.
The definition "classical music" has therefore been associated with a whole series of conventional stylistic features, typically referring to the music of the past that has been handed down to us as "classical" by the usual learned and wise men of the temple. But in reality, for example, and from my point of view, "classical" can be understood as music that draws inspiration, not forgetting, from those pages composed throughout the history of Humanity that contain the sense of the absolute, or rather fall into absolute categories of value and beauty, which know how to transcend and overcome the passage of time.
Hence, the journey of this album aims to propose a true conceptual summary of these just expressed concepts. And so you will find a SIDE A that presents some of the most famous and celebrated pages of that classical music of tradition that has rightfully established itself as definitive, overcoming and exorcising the possible oblivion of time.
While on SIDE B you will find a significant selection of music written in the 20th century, that is, the "middle century," which managed to capture the synthesis of the past, mixing its native roots with the most diverse influences from the various cultural worlds that, precisely in the twentieth century, perhaps for the first time, managed to break down geographical barriers, without forgetting the lessons of the past.
Without a doubt, therefore, somewhat provocatively but not too much, I did not want to title this third collection of Velut Luna's thirtieth anniversary with the term "Classical" (after "Jazz" and "Blues"), but more simply "ORCHESTRA," a word that intentionally specifies only the ensemble used to play this music.
And so it was, so it is, and so it will be.
I dedicate this album to my father, Adriano Lincetto.
