Last week friday was the start of the concerts at Torre del lago Puccini, the event kicked off with the performance of Andrea Bocelli, and backed by a choir. The first part was Puccini’s gloria, which he wrote when he was 22 years old. An interesting piece as it does not follow the norm of that genere of music, for example Mozart’s Messa kv 3317, or even Hayden. It gives a good indication as to his direction in music later on. Of course hindsight is a wonderful thing. The negative was the audio which sounded very low with all soloist. Anyway, it was a wonderful event.
