I fully agree. I didn't know about the Ciampi award, but I believe it is a well-deserved recognition for an important musical and Italian reality. I was able to get to know their music better thanks to Debaser; unfortunately, I have few original records because I haven't been able to find them. I believe the early albums are out of print, but even the newer ones are not that easy for me to find. For example, it seems to me that another live album was released a few months ago, but I still haven't found it.

The ratings (both for albums and reviews) are somewhat arbitrary, in my opinion, nofake. Without the comments, they mean little. In this case, the rating, when contextualized, is positive; it could be a 3.5. And it's positive because I want to take the scope into account. I frame this album as pleasant and unpretentious, an album that perhaps has the flaw of being just a fleeting experience, but then again, perhaps it is aware of that. Bye :)

well done, enjoyable und pleasant without pretensions, we'll see if it will just be temporary

Well, the series Futurama has been canceled for a while, the last episode aired was the one where Fry traded hands with the devil-bot, but I recently read that a new series is expected to be produced soon, so we’ll find out how it ends with Lela. As for the narrative structure, it’s clear that time wears down serial structures, but The Simpsons have held up quite well so far, in my opinion, precisely thanks to the development of so many characters, to the point that it should be called Springfield more than The Simpsons, haloa.

I didn't remember exactly, but anyway other countries spend double... how is that even possible?

@ know-it-all: I don’t believe that classical music is at odds with the work of Radio Tre; on the contrary. It’s one of the few existing spaces that discusses it. Perhaps in some ways, the approach may not be “youthful,” but that doesn’t mean this role has to be filled by Radio Tre. The way they speak to their listeners is therefore not wrong in itself; it’s wrong if you assume as a reference a public that cannot be theirs. In my opinion – as I mentioned before – this role should be fulfilled by others like school, society, and family, but in a way that is different from the current one. Bye.

uhm ... so maybe it makes more sense, hello :)

I also think like Gabri. Come on guys, let's not ruin this beautiful conversation by dwelling on these things. I want to contribute by returning to the earlier discussion. When I worked for the local opera house, I had the chance to attend previews of the operas in the season for schools. For Don Giovanni, the theater was full of kids. I was with a friend in a box with other young people. As the opera started, my friend turned to a teenager and said, "Did you know this introduction is called the Overture?" and the kid replied, "Really? Who cares." Honestly, the response wasn't surprising. The boy was in the theater just to avoid being at school and was waiting for the first opportunity to leave, perhaps not realizing that the story of Don Giovanni could be fascinating. I believe it's difficult to spread knowledge about many things among young people because the methodologies are wrong. Perhaps we need a school and a society capable of stimulating curiosity around individual talents rather than generalized programs that flatten everything out, like music education in middle schools... More than anything, we need a school and a society focused on bringing out the individual's strengths and reinforcing them. These can lead to different forms of expression along a path. The solution may not lie so much in the subjects themselves but in the methodologies. The traditional frontal teaching system, which is theoretical in nature, should be integrated with different individual practical plans aimed at identifying specific educational paths. We need to rethink a stagnant system. Methodologies also require tools and planning. Not the other way around. Instead, sometimes there are certain tools but not the methods, like entire computer labs that remain perpetually empty. The problem is that there is a lack of money and the willingness to think in this direction, which would require a broad systemic revision. The issue is that the available financial resources are limited. When a country invests 1.5% (it seems to me) of its GDP in education and research, while other countries invest even double, the medium- and long-term results cannot differ from what you have highlighted.

Um ... I must confess that the idea of the "silence of listening" made me smile a little, Mariaelena :)

The movie quotes from The Simpsons are wonderful, some brilliant like the one about the election fraud from Sideshow Bob (Lisa in the library: "All the President's Men") or Bart dressed as Dude, or even A Clockwork Orange during the transformation of Santa's Little Helper into a guard dog, not to mention Mary Poppins or 101 Dalmatians, Lady and the Tramp. There's also "Shining" with an enraged Homer-Torrance for not having beer and cable TV. Or Homer turning into the spaceship from 2001: A Space Odyssey in the episode where he becomes an astronaut (when he devours the wavy chips). But these are just the first that come to mind... there are so many. Great moments.
