Gatti conducts Rome concert ‘in maschera’
mainDaniele Gatti yesterday conducted the strings of the orchestra of the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma in the gardens of the Quirinale palace, residence of the President of the Italian Republic, Sergio Mattarella.
Everyone wore full concert dress, with masks.
The concert marked the start of Republic Day and was preceded by a moving presidential address in which Signor Mattarella praised the spirit of solidarity and togetherness that is signified by music. The concert was dedicated to the many thousands of Italian victims of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Good programme.
I also think so, although Pärt cannot really compete with the other five.
Mattarella likes classical music and opera he’s used to go to La Scala Gala for the 7th of December. Hope that there will be a celebration with year but I have big doubts.
Anch’io sono fiera dell’Italia! E i due presidenti..bravissimi!!Non sono in grado di diventare cittadina ma me la sento….bravi Italiani bravi!!

‘ The bottom line is that if you are not sick,
you should not wear a face mask.
…By wearing a mask,
the exhaled viruses will not be able to escape
and
will concentrate in the nasal passages,
enter
the olfactory nerves and travel into the brain.’

chronic hypoxia can actually lead to a decrease in mitochondria (Hoppeler et al., 2003). Mitochondria
is the body’s only way of making energy utilizing oxygen,
meaning, it is crucial for aerobic fitness.

WARNING: Prolonged use of facemask produces hypoxia
MAY 3, 2020
IN CORONAVIRUS UPDATES
Dr Dennis A Castro B
Breathing over and over exhaled air turns into carbon dioxide,
which is why we feel dizzy.
This intoxicates the user and much more when he must move,
carry out displacement actions.
It causes discomfort,
loss of reflexes and conscious thought.
It generates great fatigue. In addition,
oxygen deficiency causes glucose breakdown
and endangered lactic acid rise.
prolonged mask usage caused hypercapnia,
a condition
arising from too much carbon dioxide in the blood.
https://www.wpclipart.com/medical/medical_problems/toxicity/carbon_dioxide_toxicity.png.html
Symptoms of hypercapnia include dizziness, drowsiness,
fatigue, headaches,
feeling disoriented, flushing of the skin, and shortness of breath.
Severe symptoms include
a loss of consciousness, coma, hyperventilation, twitching muscles,
and seizures, among others.
Preexisting respiratory illnesses
like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
can
cause both hypercapnia and hypoxia.
“The N95 or N99 mask varieties have been traditionally used in hospitals
to prevent tuberculosis
and other infections during flu season,” said Dr KK Aggarwal,
president of the Indian Medical Association.
“They can block particulate matter only
if you completely prevent air-leaks,
and that is not possible.”
This is because a mask will protect against pollutants
only if they fit snugly
on a wearer’s face and there are as many facial structures
as there are people.
Often, well-fitting masks are hard to find and uncomfortable to wear.
Even beards
and facial hair may be obstructions to a good fit and
could let in contaminated air,
as some brands specify on their packaging.
While ill-fitting masks let in pollutants, mask that fit too tightly
can also be problematic.
A person wearing any kind of mask
faces breathing resistance as air filters through the device,
making
the wearer work harder to inhale than he would without the mask.
This can have several adverse physiological effects
when the mask is worn for long periods of time.
Moreover,
carbon dioxide that is exhaled can get trapped in the chamber of the mask
then
re-enter the body each time the mask user inhales.
This delivers less oxygen
into the body than when the person is not wearing a mask.
“It can lead to oxygen shortage, suffocation,
respiration trouble, and heart attacks,”
said Dr D Saha,
scientist and additional director at the Central Pollution Control Board.
He pointed out that masks are a potential source of bacteria and viruses.
“The moisture from exhalation inside the mask,
when in
constant contact with the 37 degrees Celsius warm human body,
becomes
ideal place for virus and bacteria to thrive,” he said.
This could result in the growth of microbes on masks
and
aid the spread of airborne diseases like influenza.

Wearing masks may increase your risk of coronavirus infection, expert says
By Angela Betsaida B. Laguipo, BSNMar 15 2020
Panic buying and the hoarding of face masks
to protect from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) may not be a good idea,
says a health expert.
It puts you at an increased risk of contracting the virus.
Dr. Jenny Harries, England’s deputy chief medical officer,
has warned
that it was not a good idea for the public to wear facemasks
as the virus
can get trapped in the material and causes infection when the wearer breathes in.
For the public, they should not wear facemasks unless they are sick,
and if a healthcare worker advised them.
“For the average member of the public walking down a street,
it is not a good idea,” Dr. Harries said.
“What tends to happen is people will have one mask.
They won’t wear it all the time,
they will take it off when they get home,
they will put it down on a surface they haven’t cleaned,” she added.
Further, she added that behavioral issues
could adversely put themselves at more risk of getting the infection.
For instance, people go out and don’t wash their hands,
they touch parts of the mask
or their face, and they get infected.
Masks are recommended for those showing symptoms of a disease,
if they are sick…
The recommended mask, if needed, is the one with a three-layer design,
which includes
an outer layer that repels water,
a middle layer that becomes a barrier for pathogens,
and the inner layer that absorbs moisture.
Other face masks without these layers are not recommended.

The face mask has become a fashion statement in the year 2020.
It may not have much use for anything else…
Thanks, Jim, for details of the program. I left a Borodin Quartet concert whistling Webern’s “Langsamer Satz” after they had to encore it, to their evident surprise. A first!
Mozart’s Adagio and Fugue in C minor, K. 546, is a sublime work in his severe style. It’s one of Karajan’s best records, in a DGG “Adagio” collection, recorded near his Swiss home in Montreux by Berlin Philharmonic strings in a church there. The pulsating strings caught my attention after the forte introduction by being so soft. Then, they became twice as soft. The fugue is very fine, rising to a frenzied stretto and coda.
Karajan had recorded it in 1947 with VPO, but Montreux BPO’s “Adagio” is the one to hear.
A very similar , more extended work is the Fantasia and Fugue in F minor for mechanical organ, which has effectively been transcribed for strings, very striking powerful work thaat could be better known than its provenance necesarily restricts.
