Dante sta salendo il monte del Purgatorio per ascendere al Paradiso Terrestre....:)

[h4lobeats]

Why are there 3 videos of urgatorio, im worried now, which is the correct one???

[FreeTheJambon]

@h4lobeats The whole movement of the Purgatorio is too long to fit only one Youtube video, and was therefore split in 3 parts. This is the third part of the Purgatorio, which is itself the 2nd movement of the Dante Symphony.

Da ragazzino l'ho cantata nelle file dei contralti come voce bianca, a Ravenna e anche ad Andria; seguita dalla prima assoluta della cantata "Il folle volo" di Sergio Prodigo. Che bei ricordi!

What indescribable beauty.

[margenna]

Ok, I hear the music and I see the images, but I also read the title that says: "Purgatory". It is the title that isn't correct, right? It is the heavens isn't it?

[kiomarv]

Purgatory is the correct title, and this piece represents the point in the story at which Dante's guide, Virgil, commends him to the charge of Beatrice, who guides Dantefrom purgatory & into Paradise. Liszt never wrote an original piece for "Paradise", which is why this symphony, one of the most beautiful ever written, is considered incomplete. Wagner told him Paradise could not be expressed in music and Liszt, unfortunately, listened to him and recycled another piece to represent Paradise.

[margenna]

I see. I regret that I don't know by heart the whole story in detail, but I reckon it must be the part in which Dante is repenting after Beatrice's summoning, takes a drink from the Leté river, in the terrestrial Paradise on top of the Purgatory hill, and then they move on upward to the skys. It is a beautiful melody, and it's been an edifying experience to listen to the inferno grieving symphony, and then to this celestial tune.

Thank you for your answer.

[kiomarv]

Exactly right. Have you also read La Vita Nuova? It proffers readers an excellent preface to the Comedy and explains who Beatrice actually is.

[margenna]

I might have read excerpts from that in school, some 20 years ago, but I don't really have any clear memories about it. I'll keep this tip in mind, though, in case I happened to get around to it again, which I would love to do.

I am from Italy, and around here, the famous actor Roberto Benigni has in the past years done a marvellous job of diffusing a passion for Dante's work. He has been excellent, really.

[margenna]

Hello, again,

I just thought I would drop in once more to say that I am at this time giving La Vita Nova another read, and I believe it is amazing poetry. Thank you again for the advice!

Best regards,

Marco Gennari.
