Guns N’ Roses: Live In New York 1991

Nell'anno 1991, l'atmosfera intorno ai Guns N’ Roses era infiammata, la band di Axl Rose e Slash era attesa al varco. Erano passati già quattro anni da Appetite For Destruction, il loro primo disco, un fulmine a ciel sereno nel panorama dell’hard rock, e quella macchina infernale fatta di concerti sempre più grandi e di eccessi sempre più smisurati sembrava aver raggiunto il limite. I Guns stavano lavorando al nuovo disco da anni, rimandandone più volte l’uscita, e quando tutto sembrava pronto, nella primavera del 1991, c’era sempre qualcosa che si poteva perfezionare. Si decise così di partire con un tour che avrebbe dato un assaggio di ciò che a breve stava per arrivare. Tour che fu, per numeri e durata, uno dei più imponenti della storia del rock, il quale portava il nome del nuovo album: Use Your Illusion.

Amadeus

Nel 1823 al manicomio di Vienna Antonio Salieri, acclamato musicista di Corte, confessa un tremendo segreto: ha consumato la vita nel tentativo di distruggere Mozart, volgare e libertino, indegno, secondo lui, dei doni divini. Sotto il segno del più scatenato gusto del gioco, è una riflessione sul contrasto tra genio e mediocrità e sull'invidia. Scritto dall'inglese Peter Shaffer, da una sua pièce (1979). Omaggio a Praga. Splendide immagini, due grandi interpreti. 8 Oscar: film, regia, sceneggiatura, attore, costumi, suono, trucco, scenografia. Non tenendo conto che, in fondo, è un Mozart visto da Salieri i molti mozartiani di stretta osservanza hanno eccepito sulla fedeltà storica, specialmente sulle libertà prese per la genesi del Requiem, ma avrebbero da lamentarsi di più i pochi ammiratori di Salieri. Al Festival di Berlino 2002 fu presentata una edizione restaurata (Director's Cut) e allungata di oltre 20´.
