MEMORIAL
Antonio Anselmi (1969-2019)
Antonio Anselmi was not only the extraordinary violinist and musician that many people know, for us who have been his colleagues for over 15 years as members of I Musici he was above all an extraordinary traveling companion. His innate ability to transform a chat at the after concert dinner into an improvised “pièce de theatre”, his ability to seize the right moment to launch a dazzling joke, his knowledge to modulate facial expressions and voice like a consummate actor have amazed and cheered us at times when tiredness, fatigue, the stress of travel and artistic commitments were about to overwhelm us. And then the total dedication to work, to music, to his violin. When all of us remained with the so-called “last drop of gasoline” Antonio knew how to bring out that little special something more that only the great ones have, that energy that derives from the love for the Art, for the Music, that drags you, that spurs you, that it makes you awaken from the torpor of a normal person who “gets tired”: here, Antonio Anselmi was tireless, unstoppable, when he was with his violin he knew how to take you by the hand and give you energy, through his notes, bringing you back to that extraterrestrial place which is the world of music. And the audience, together with us, perceived it and followed him spellbound everywhere in that world, almost like he was a new Pied Piper. We have traveled a lot, with Antonio, in all the continents, we met so many people, of the most disparate characters and cultures, but he knew how to speak to them with his violin in a way that we rarely perceived if not in the greatest. And that’s the place he deserves, among the greatest of the violin, of music, of Pure Art. But we are missing him so much, here… Ciao Antonio, good music, wherever you are.
