In these hard times a message that encourages you to see the light. From Rimini the most evocative message that invites you not to give up, through the universal language of music. From the highest point of the city, an extraordinary tribute by the violinist Federico Mecozzi with an unpublished version of the Anthem of Europe from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the birth of the German musician and composer. On the day of the worldwide release of the song on all digital platforms, with Warner M; a strong message of hope.
On the day when the 250th anniversary of the birth of Ludwig Van Beethoven is celebrated all over the world, the municipality of Rimini launches a message of hope using the universal languages of music and light, through an unpublished video with a very personal interpretation of the famous choir of the fourth movement of the Ninth Symphony, performed by the violinist and multi-instrumentalist Federico Mecozzi, for eleven years alongside Ludovico Einaudi. The video of this exciting performance is online from today. Standing on the roof of the Rimini skyscraper, we find the musicians as if on a suspended stage overlooking the sky of a night and an indefinite dawn, under the eye of a drone that moves further and further away, towards the lights of the city, under the void.
An inspired vision which wants to send a universal message of hope through the languages of music and light. The protagonists of the video are the lights of the city, the night that becomes day, the music, the height that creates the sense of emptiness and fragility, but which at the same time symbolically embodies a large antenna from which to launch towards the whole world, from the highest point of the city, a collective wish that the end of this terrible pandemic may come.
With Federico Mecozzi: Anselmo Pelliccioni (cello), Veronica Conti (cello), Cristian Bonato (production, synth, harmonium), Stefano Zambardino (piano, synth), Massimo Marches (guitar, synth), Tommy Graziani (percussion). The song played by Mecozzi and his musicians is now available on all digital platforms.
