Can a twentieth-century serenade exist? Can two apparently antinomic terms be compared? (this is how they were read for a long time). How can the expression of a poetic and musical form chosen as the privileged vehicle of a love relationship (which we often imagine to be saccharine and cloying) be reconciled with the anxiety of renewal, of adhesion to the new, to technology, to the magnificent and progressive fortunes of the early twentieth century? This is the question to which I Musici have attempted to give an artistic answer with Serenata italiana, which leads us through a listening journey that covers a time span from the end of the nineteenth century to the 1960s. The mentor of the musical journey is a figure who in various ways overshadows the lives of the protagonists: Arturo Toscanini.
