- Boris Vian. A novelist? A songwriter? A playwright? A poet? A trumpet player? A music publishing company producer? A singer? A visual artist? An engineer? Well, this man was all of that, without being a Jack of all trades as he was often accused of being. For what united all those various activities was a way of being, what could be called his "jazz attitude". Vian's passion for this style of music indeed inspired his style in all the categories he covered. It even dictated his relation to life and death.

- Almost to the day 300 years after the work's premiere, we hear Bach's St. John Passion in a recording with the French baroque ensemble Ensemble Pygmalion under its leader Raphael Pïchon. The work was first performed in Leipzig on Good Friday 1724. The Evangelist is sung here by Julian Prégardien and among the other soloists can be heard, among others Huw Montague Rendall, Ying Fang and William Shelton. In this recording from Bordeaux, Pïchon has also inserted other music for the time of the Passion. Therefore, the concert begins with the anthem "O Traurigkeit, o Herzeleid" and later in the program we hear, among other things, excerpt from Bach's cantata BWV 159, "Sehet, wir gehn hinauf gen Jerusalem".

- "Teatro alla Scala. The Temple of Wonders is a filmic event dedicated to one of the most exclusive temples of music and world spectacle, a place where art is creating itself, representing itself, living itself. Inaugurated in 1778, the Teatro alla Scala of Milan is the place where the tradition of the great Italian opera is born. The emotions absorbed by the velvet curtains, by the wood of the stage, by the armchairs in front of the orchestra are still alive today and surface every night at the very moment when the light is dimmed, the audience stops chatting and the show begins. Accompanied by the narrative voice of Sandro Lombardi, the video camera travels down the corridors and make us breath 237 years of history: a majestic succession of discoveries and revelations will be a delight for the spectator. It's the story of the only theatre of the world that has captured and tied inextricably to itself the biggest names of the musical sector. Giuseppe Verdi, Giacomo Puccini, Arturo Toscanini, Maria Callas, Luchino Visconti have founded the myth of a place that still today provokes a sense of sacredness, passed on over the years by Herbert von Karajan, Claudio Abbado, Giorgio Strehler, Riccardo Muti, Franco Zeffirelli, Daniel Barenboim, Riccardi Chailly, Patrice Chéreau.
