7:33 pm
what happens. i think it was everything about football someone. maybe did it the guys i was there almost the same. day ones that work out for you or yes it. is normal you have to change. to be competitive every every four years you know maybe they should have taken more plays from c.n.n. . by some says my son is a fan of juventus and he says they should have taken more people from japan. was busy there was a very bad. scene and i say every everything is changing in their lives so maybe italian team has to change there to renew with the younger yeah good food but but there anyway we should good luck with. russia is not.
7:34 pm
good football but not shows as good as you know not as good as italy while in opera russia sometimes maybe even better than italy so so i think both. they have to. be. you know but i in classical music you know so so it means you don't really have to have warm skies and blue blue seas and no no no no no no no you have good ideas and all that but is this is not important there is no one no football and sun is not all that in. and you were born in c.n.n. and then a little a little town with a little food into a family of musician c. does that mean does that mean that you would do so that you couldn't choose any other career accent as another musician family but my my father was a big fan and he tried to seeing for doing something year in order and no no no i
7:35 pm
shoes 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 start to sing at nine nine it was a just for force that the music ground on and then i decided i was so bad in piano so. 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 the will serve that if you want it all so you started so you see this is the joy of the great ok now there was a teacher but they keep it a change many teachers because my first teacher was a music school interviews me it was very important to me in this kind of study and then i was in florence conservatory oh and i have a good teacher and then i start to. read some
7:36 pm
completely shown and i 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 lucre if you did because usually opera singers they start by being part of a company and then you go and you choose a solo through one issues so i have when i was younger i had the good quality and so i i didn't decide to be a solo but i have the correct characteristics to be so little. and i never think about something different. opera is considered to be very conservative you don't see do you think it is concern to do. we have many different. experiments of modern. honestly
7:37 pm
if you were going. to have a so beautiful modern style and i go over. there laughs important maybe it was over this before there are many things period beneath that he was a like. cheeni like iraq i was tchaikovsky in that there was great composers here. where do you think opera classic opera would survive in the twenty first century see it we'll see if we like among the least like. every great oh no these it isn't the coming of stuff that you buy to put in your new bedroom going to new dining room it's something that it's something for the museum. anybody listening to listening to blink to have to know what it is car. got that you know i want you mike out of my mind now i have a lot of
7:38 pm
a russian composer. i think it went something is 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 cries of the parents know from the quality of the music a big prizes depends for example is for the weight and all of it may be the the ticket this source pensive and to go through the whole browsers and those who are easy people be able to browse it's not so big and so maybe the modern audience needs something different by state or c d o philip vision but. not never change. the question with classical music does need to be popularized or not spotlights concept you already on the web try to find out if the
7:39 pm
russians law economics 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 rock think classical music. so it might be a good idea that time is on the clock 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 bach for example because of classical music is perfect within its original form. i don't like when classical music is mixed with other styles glasgow is platypus pop is bald and rock is rock why me we don't make salad with ballad right i like it i think it's interesting and
7:40 pm
unique i believe that mixing different styles popularizers classical music especially among younger generations. if it is done correctly with an idea behind it then yes it could be interesting like all french need care 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 the taj. out of that was that if you got a question guess. was that as you started mixing different styles of music why is it more profitable. well for the ball the more profitable side to make money off of the vote. to see honestly is more profitable so it's really the best defense 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 shore lake. i
7:41 pm
just use a tutu to use my voice and my voice it was the use of for a class if i use my voice. to sing it's nothing. 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. like when the girls like better about. their lives that one was great but i prefer the original version that that one was . yeah. 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
7:42 pm
7:43 pm
7:45 pm
welcome back to spotlight i'm al gore and often just a reminder that my guest in the studio today is i listen drop so i feel that famous italian tenor and opera singer and also pop singer is it true is it true that you're a great fan. of rock rock and roll hard rock music i like i really really does you see and 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 to be 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
7:46 pm
listening to good music what about what about a tendency that that people are not listening to good music this is sometimes not such thing as good music this format 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 one of the kids what about the kids in italy they do the 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 what the what the t.v. shows or the media give to them. is a few people i can have the opportunity to know something different because i thought and this is like a serious time like all the ten years italians are like oprah jump. he's not no not
7:47 pm
anymore he's that is is an important may be the most important with the french and russia and germany the most important. musical country about that we don't have an absolutely good school music education now. when we see about classical and pop. what makes music pop popular like a member raised something else won't say when it was composing was pop. because verdi was talking with people outside 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 i like to beat something like. a little bit me a can. made
7:48 pm
a little bit more be something it is a little bit classy this is incredible listen very was part of my year it was part of the utils were part of those what was the 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 route the music is is is pretty complicated to me because they usually there's a something here and here you show very convoluted periods you know if we take modern pop music written by professional composers they use like cheap cheap and very primitive farnum of it would be that because if there was a better once again it's only on the needle so so great because now now everything is done for for it to be commercial to to take money and beatles represents a period the music and the beatles music represent a period is a period with green. so show the change man and like rolling stones
7:49 pm
be those today we're seeing in something 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 are just getting room this is the way we do we like old music everything in school may show because there was a there were singing something. different it was original from the very beginning and. it was a totally different there was a big change of man in this so city society in the music old soul is going to be going to joplin was the commercial and she was maybe it was with the kid 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
7:50 pm
especially of all football maybe i don't know because to talk about that really you have you need to know the real situation what happened immediately 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 doesn't like two hundred and i know what the girls are thinking now and of lots of young people lots of your fans are female and looking at me and i even like with her gray hair and say ok you guys you earned your money and now you accuse us of being commercial we don't owe money to for me i hear you right now your money will have survived by that i'm 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 no. my music. that's it heard you were thought of the reason of such
7:51 pm
a phenomena like rock music rock n roll music sounds best in english opera sounds best in italian why because of the spirit type work there's something in the in the lead we saw a melody of the latter a rock n roll born in in england states and sounds good in english i think. a little you know the language and the state of mind of the composer and the language is part of that music see maybe maybe but honestly i sing many telling over puccini it sounds good in italian but i was thinking. and sounds so good in russian. and. others like. underground and see the. song many others what's your favorite stage your favorite audience where what where in opera you know the best
7:52 pm
memory i have in. more of a house and i was seeing or hearing it because the whole browser was totally revealed and open after many years and it's so beautiful and senior public is very hot this is great you you did you did lots of do have the we would elton john i had all certainly right in the shitter jennifer lopez is it true you still dreaming of making do with bono see really i like a lot to you to the many years and i think born as a you really i didn't you know never sent him an email is a. friend of my legs are a man here in moscow he's a musician he wanted to make a duo with the with one of the great well without jimmy oh well you know i'll do me all the famous get there yeah oh yeah. yes he sent him an e-mail he has for and he
7:53 pm
said ok let's do it. so. i'll ask my producer to give you two to give result here you know like a right. to try where you go when you when you choose your repertoire what you notice what's your main concern what 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 because you have to sing or what your personality and your voice that permits you to to see no i don't i don't see you want my audience i want to to to listen to from me 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 or k.y. when you know 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
7:54 pm
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 i've only have you a recollection of some big surprise that you gave in advance lately yourself you know maybe you were surprised by someone some performer. that i don't know if you know this century c.c. is not the time for being surprised and decided he'd say. no 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
7:55 pm
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 recognized at least i assume from both know me and the study so you know i don't have a great. number of heat about the audience come to my concept of a day like to listen to or sound aadhaar song or liking. and so i'm very happy to tune 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 two to have another on other heath and other big success sure thank you thank you very much thank you out there god said it was done without even. just about mindset that my guest in
