11:31 am

11:32 am
a passion for singing and by the age of nine decided to dedicate himself to. his interests became broader like you tube genesis and inspired him to experiment as a result started recording successful albums alongside a famous italian pianist and composer. they recorded a single which top several european charts recorded a soundtrack for a popular movie moulin rouge featuring elton john. david bowie to mention a few two years ago he recorded and then the famous british soprano song bright now a listener is busy performing at concerts in russia for several months already today he's in spotlight to tell what inspires him in this country so much he just cannot stop seeing. how alexandro fellow very much very much for being for being with. you to invite me here well first of all i'm not asking you what's your favorite food. my favorite.
11:33 am
what about what about italian football on the world cup and. what happened. i think it was everything about. maybe the guys was that almost the same. ones that work out for you. know you have to change. to be competitive every every four years you know maybe they should have taken more plays from c.n.n. . some says my son is a fan of juventus and he says they should have taken more people from japan. was
11:34 am
very bad. everything is changing so maybe italian team has to change their story new with the younger yeah good food anyway we wish you good luck with. russia is not. good football but not shows. you know not as good as italy while in opera russia sometimes maybe even better than italy so-so. i think both a need that they have. to counter with be. classic music you know so so it means you don't really have to have skies and blue blue seas and no no no no no no you have good ideas and all that but is not important there is no one no football and sun is not all that implicit you were born in sienna and a little little town with a little book club into a family of musician c.
11:35 am
does that mean does that mean that you would do so that you couldn't choose any other career. as another musician family but my my father was a big fan and he tried to sing for doing something year in all that and no no no i show and shoes and my father helped me to introduce myself in a musical life so i started to study music and i was nine i didn't stop to see if nine nine it was a just for force that the music ground on and then i decided i was so bad in piano so i decided. to start singing. at seventeen eighteen years old it was my patient do the same as elton john he wanted to be a god is to have people serve that if you want it all so you started saying you see see see agree ok now there was a teacher they keep it i changed many teachers because my first teacher was a music school interviews me it was very important to me in this kind of study
11:36 am
and then i was in florence conservatory oh and i have a good teacher and then i start to move and to read some completely shown and i changed my teachers i had the opportunity to visit many countries many famous acts seen her and saw my study. was private. but why did you choose this so the three if you did because usually opera singers they start by being part of a company and then go and you choose a solo three one ma issues so i have when i was younger i had a good quality and so i i didn't decide to be a solo by that i have the correct characteristics to be solo and i never think about something different. opera is considered to be very conservative you don't
11:37 am
see it do you think it is can certainly do. can it sound money. we have many different. experiments of more than. on a theory is that if you put in more than you have so beautiful modern style and i go over are there laughs important maybe it was over the stove or before the romantic period in that he was like must can you put cine like eros i was tchaikovsky in that there was great composers here. where do you think opera classic opera looks survive in the twenty first century see it we'll see if we can win the league like. every great oh no these it isn't the coming of stuff that you buy to put in your new bedroom going to your dining room
11:38 am
it's something that it's something for the museum. anybody listening to listening to blink to have to know what it is part. of that you know i want you mike out of my mind now i have a lot of a russian composer. i think it went something these great in music and sculpture in painting be great the four sentences never change what was you can change the way to to perform so you don't think that we are witnessing a crisis of classical music today but the crisis of the parents you know from the quality of the music of the prizes depends on you know you for example is for the weight and all of them may be the ticket this source pensive and to go through the whole browsers and so easy because there were a number of houses not so big and so maybe the modern audience needs something different by the state or. philly vision but.
11:39 am
not i think never change. the question with classical music does need to be popularized or not spotless cards have you already on them i tried to find out if the russians learned commission of different music genres let some of them. had their day i'll try to find out if people in this country support an idea of mixing different styles of music but see them like a mixture of pop rock in classical music. well you know might be a good idea to dynasty on a cloak for example since i'm a fan of classical music and drop i can comprehend this to this it's however when classical music is next with pop i think it is a tasteless eclecticism. that it depends on how well it's done however i don't think that classical music should be mixed with both for example because classical
11:40 am
music is perfect within its original form. i don't like when classical music is mixed with other styles classical was glasgow pop is bald and rock is rock why mix down we don't make salad with ballad right i like it i think it's interesting and unique i believe that mixing different styles popularizes classical music especially monk younger generations. if it is done correctly with an idea behind it then yes it could be interesting like has done in country for grosso for example however sometimes mixing of styles is done very incorrectly and in that case it was done mainly for public shock and never tossed. out of that but then you got a question get. was that if you started mixing different styles of music why is it more profitable. they're all for the ball the more profitable side to make money off the boat as the only they'll be to see honestly is more profitable so it really
11:41 am
is a bet their pants because of the disco graffiti is a big crisis honus lee i don't like to mix different kind of music sound i never i never made a modern iraq version of. not cry good or surely. i just use a tutu to use my voice and my voice it was the use of for a classic i use my voice. to to sing it's not in pop. but to mix music is i don't know i don't like on this and i love so so so you're not a great fan and you're like like when a girl is like that about amber. and i know and it was great. b.g. they have that one was great on a cd but i prefer the original version that that one was. yeah.
11:42 am
yeah that was great that was a good. idea goes away because my son did hear that version but then when he heard the real version of the he said this is how destiny you know but not before he heard the real one just a reminder that my guest in the studio here is alexander been an italian opera tenor spotlight will be back shortly run after a break so stay with us and. kill innocent. boys. this of course and that's never absent. the song from the skull spoke with me i think of it every day. fired
11:43 am
11:44 am
save. five hundred tons of gold and dozens of counted. six hundred. train. station. a century long the way. the mystery of the. welcome back the spotlight on al going off in just a reminder that my guest in the studio today is. that famous italian at tenor and. singer and also pop singer is it true is it true that you're a great fan. of rock rock'n'roll hard rock music i like i don't
11:45 am
know really if you see that i like. it and i would really like you to rock music or when i was younger i used to love all bands like you two and simple minds was my period in all eight years and i think when the music is beautiful in a musical score the ever every kind of music or music can be nice but but still you do listen to both i mean to to to to classical music to rock music i mean listening to good music what about what about the tendency that that people are not listening to good music this is the sometimes not such thing as good music there's formats people are listening to to to to trendy music rather than the radio and i don't know i cannot decide which is the good music for me my favorite music is classic i still if i listen to a great. musician what about the kids what about the kids in italy are you the
11:46 am
only needle is in italy is really crazy is not music education is not a good school and they do they don't like. people listen to walk the walk the t.v. shows or the media give to them. few people i can have the opportunity to know something different because i thought and this is like mysterious time like all italians italians are like oprah junkies no no not anymore. that isn't important maybe the most important with france and russia and germany the most important. is equal country about the rich we don't have an absolutely good school music education. when we see about classical and pop. what makes music
11:47 am
pop popular like a member raised something else what say when it was composing was pop. because verdi was talking with people of certain it was more most of it was very pop you know classical music is b.p. is now b. and b. p. and close so to make something like like under bush there was really deep cycle and something like. a little bit me a can. made a little bit more pulpy something it is a little bit classy this is incredible listen very was part of my year it was part of the eagles were part of those well rock but pop today because beatles didn't have any musical education at all at first but you know if you if you look at the songs the rounds the music is is is pretty complicated to me because these are the this is something he does you know show very convoluted periods you know if we take
11:48 am
modern park music written by professional composers they use like cheap cheap and very primitive farnum of it would be that because it is only better once again it's only on the little soul so great because they're now now everything is there for for it to be commercial to to take money and be those represents a period the music and the beatles music represent a period is a period with great social change of man and like a rolling stones be those today we're seeing in something the important they were it's changing the music because if you're listening. to what it was before the be those who was thought of it really is just getting room this is the way we do we will have killed me you know if anything in school may show. because there was a they were singing something. different it was a national from the very beginning and it. was totally different there was
11:49 am
a big change of man in the so city society and in the musical it's all going to joplin was the commercial and she was maybe those were ok now what's. happening to popular music today do you think do you think we need the sort of a big social change or like a shake up of the whole society to to to start writing good music again maybe maybe i think of this story visit because everything now is commercial and it's made especially like football maybe i don't know because to talk about that really you have you need to know the real situation what happened you need to really i think everything is very calm a show every pro that every senior is for everybody has to like him in all honestly i think of the great musician great singer something really good that's unlike two hundred i know what the girls are thinking now and of lots of
11:50 am
young people lots of your fans are female and looking at me in the ear and like with their great hair and say ok you guys you earned your movie and now you accuse us of being commercial we don't owe money to for me i hear your rationale your money to survive but i am no reach and sure i work for ford to take money but i never try to do something so. easy and i try to i just. sign my saying my music. and that's it you were thought of the reason of such a phenomena that like rock music rock n roll music sounds best in english opera sounds best in italian why because of the spirit i wore it there's something in the in the lead we saw a melody of the latter rock of old beau. in england and states and sounds good in english i think. it will do you know the language and the state of mind of the
11:51 am
composer and the language is part of that music see maybe maybe but honestly i sing many telling oprah puccini sounds good any talent but i was thinking. and sounds so good and russian. schakowsky and. others like. i don't. see the. song and many others what's your favorite stage your favorite audience where what where in opera you know about the best memory i have in. more of a house and i was seeing or hearing it because the house was totally revealed and open after many years and it's so beautiful and see the public is very hot this is great you you did you did lots of do have the will with
11:52 am
elton john i have will certainly write in the shared jennifer lopez is it true you still dreaming of making do with bono see really i like a lot to you too many years and i think. it's no never seen him in email is a. friend of my. man here in moscow he's a musician he wanted to make a duo with with one of the great well without jimmy oh you know i'll do me all the famous good generally yeah yeah yeah he sent him an email he has for and he said ok let's do it. so. i'll ask my producer to give you two to give reason here you know like a right it's right where you go when you when you choose your repertoire what you know here's what's your main concern was. you want to sing or what the audience wants to listen to no no no no what i want to see if i understood you don't choose
11:53 am
because there you have to say you know what your personality and your voice that permit you to see no i don't i don't seem to want my audience i want to to to listen to them from me and i always try to choose what i really feel what i really like and it's not not possible every size not even a compromise sometimes your k.-y. when you when you when you have to to to work with a big record company you have to made some compromise is that not only is it possible to surprise modern audiences with something. to surprise a is always more it's i mean if you go about two made something really good and simple and with qualities it's possible you know really i think not only have you a recollection of some big surprise that you gave you don't even slightly yourself you know but maybe you were surprised by someone some performer almost that i don't
11:54 am
know if you know this century city is not the time for being surprised in the size you say. it's always always so we think it's impossible to to do something new to suit by somebody but there's always something new. when you when you listen when you feel something new when it is possible when i go to a concert. the the performer usually has some old songs that are recognizable so that people say oh i know that song and then he puts new songs so what's more important for for a performing artist as yourself to to to introduce new songs need new words new music or to perform record lows i'd like to see if both know this friday so you know i don't have a great. number of heat about the audience come to my
11:55 am
concept that they they like to listen to or sound other songs that i like and. and so i'm very happy to to perform this kind of song and i try. recording i'm starting to record a new album i try to to give something new hoping opening to to have another on other heath and other big success sure thank you thank you very much when you're out there god said it was brought about even. just about my day that my guest to see them today was alice i'm going to a lot of famous italian tenor and that's it for now from all of us here will be back tomorrow with more until then stay and party and take their place finish your stocking mountain.
