This past Thursday at Centro Culturale Chiasso the world-famous pianist Marc-Andrè Hamelin gave a recital with some well-known pieces and some of his “pet project” composers like Medtner in the form of Rondò in A minor K.511 from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 3: “A Festive Dance.” The concert finished with real fireworks by Sergei Rachmaninoff: Etude-Tableau op any form of introduction of the Canadian pianist Marc-Andrè Hamelin is unnecessary Due to his worldwide activities and more than 50 discs he is one of the most well-known pianists today but none of them can beat his steady performance of the last decades remaining firmly anchored in the musically excellent level and a “nearly superhuman technique,” as it was described by the legendary critic Harold C the expectations were quite high for the evening The choice to start this recital with Mozart’s Rondò K.511 and its delicate colors was a wise one no more problems; everything dissolved in this apparently easy music overcoming the repetitive structure of this score 3 is one of Ludwig van Beethoven’s early sonatas composed in 1795 and dedicated to his teacher Joseph Haydn It is a virtuoso and dynamic piece that showcases Beethoven’s evolving style and mastery of the classical form “Allegro con brio,” is vibrant and energetic contrasting lyrical themes and powerful chords well-planned rendering with a profound knowledge of the structure “Adagio,” a serene and expressive slow movement song-like quality and is known for its emotional depth the pianist showcased his enormous capacity for control characterized by sudden dynamic shifts and syncopation Maybe some more agogic liberty would’ve been helpful the real realm of Marc-André Hamelin followed were a nice opportunity for the pianist to finally display his famous steel-like technique — a real treat for the numerous public and truly appreciated Sergei Rachmaninoff composed his Piano Sonata No during a particularly productive period in his life shortly after finishing his Choral Symphony “The Bells.” This work is one of his most challenging and masterful compositions embodying the emotional intensity and technical brilliance characteristic of his late Romantic style interpreters prefer his preludes or etude-tableaux That might be the reason why Rachmaninoff revised the sonata in 1931 making substantial cuts to the original score to streamline the piece and improve its overall coherence though some pianists prefer a hybrid version that combines elements of both Hamelin wisely has chosen the short version from thunderous fortissimos to delicate pianissimos The performer must capture the emotional breadth of the work from despair and struggle to triumph and transcendence maybe not at the same speed as Vladimir Horowitz used to play but nevertheless always well-controlled and spectacular Pianist Marc Andrè Hamelin takes a bow at Teatro Chiasso Giorgio Koukl is a Czech-born pianist/harpsichordist and composer who resides in Lugano Among his many recordings are the complete solo piano works and complete piano concertos of Bohuslav Martinů on the Naxos label He has also recorded the piano music of Tansman A jury at the Cantonal Criminal Court in Lugano on Thursday found a 28-year-old Somali man guilty of murder and sentenced him to 17 years' imprisonment The man will also be deported from the country for 15 years the 28-year-old went to his 50-year-old victim's apartment in Chiasso early in the morning on March 1 2024 because he wanted to buy cocaine from him The Somali man stabbed his victim at least 17 times for the "minor motive" that the man he had visited did not have any cocaine for him The presiding judge described the fact that the perpetrator stabbed the 50-year-old further times even though the first stab would have been enough to kill him The 28-year-old had acted with "particularly pronounced ruthlessness" Naples, FL (PRWEB) September 11, 2013 -- National homebuilder D.R.

Femme nue marchant et personnage au loin I (1960; Illustration for the frontispiece of Jacques Dupin Few other personalities from the local financial scene played such a decisive role in shaping events over several decades It goes unmentioned on Wikipedia that Rainer Gut worked for UBS in the 1960s and was responsible for its headquarters in New York UBS sought a resolution for its problematic participation in IG Farben were busy shuttling back and forth to New York with Gut but Gut left empty-handed in the promotion race Holzach eventually offered him a consolation prize of sorts with the position of director of the commercial department in Zurich responsible for major international customers The self-confident and well-connected Gut respectfully declined He had greater ambitions and wanted to stay in traditional finance he left and joined the investment bank Lazard Frères acquiring the foundational knowledge for later initiatives at Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB) he always remained connected to UBS at heart which became apparent in 1996 (see point 8) Gut moved from Lazard Frères to Swiss American Corporation in New York investment banking affiliate of what was then Schweizerische Kreditanstalt (SKA the Swiss banking industry experienced its biggest scandal the then-head of the SKA (later Credit Suisse) branch in the Ticino border town of Chiasso placed billions in client funds with the holding company of a Liechtenstein institution which were booked off the bank's balance sheet This criminal activity led to a huge debacle Wuffli, father of future UBS Group CEO Peter Wuffli and the then chairman of the General Management it turned out he was only the biggest pawn He was one of the few young executives not been involved in the debacle He succeeded Wuffli and was promoted to spokesman of the General Management in May 1977 before being appointed its chairman in 1982 With Gut's rise to the top of the SKA power structure The man from central Switzerland didn't tick the boxes of the traditional requirements of the Zurich bank he was often overlooked for a suite on the executive floor Gut ushered in a more international and unabashedly American era Several decades followed under the aegis of Gut who became the uncontested ruler of Zurich's Paradeplatz and one of the most influential string pullers in the Swiss economy through a series of board of directorships not only did SKA go on a PR offensive by sponsoring the «Tour de Suisse» cycling race in 1978 but it also transformed itself from a bank for Zurich's elite into a financial institution that addressed the middle classes an important decision in order to stand up to other major Swiss banks it became increasingly involved in US investment banking a domain with which Gut had always been associated since his Lazard Frères days after numerous transactions and reorganizations should've helped Credit Suisse achieve global stature Although Gut managed to gather some of the best investment bankers around him Credit Suisse investment banking was a ruinous enterprise that ultimately contributed to the downfall of the entire bank The book was written with help from Credit Suisse's chief historian at the time, Joseph Jung it lacks the necessary distance from Gut in terms of content but it nonetheless contains a wealth of data and information of great value to appraise Swiss banking history and already contemplative man but also notes he kept his ambitions in mind as he strove for power Credit Suisse First Boston «Culture Clash» Credit Suisse undoubtedly made the most progress in US investment banking compared to all other major Swiss banks Those under Gut's leadership always faced accusations they were using the stable earnings from private banking to subsidize the volatile and short-term business of Credit Suisse's Wall Street bankers This resulted in a transatlantic culture war that Credit Suisse could never bring under control Credit Suisse's management's misjudgments proved fatal This was the case with the oversized billion-dollar takeover of US investment bank Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette (DLJ) in 2000 The excesses surrounding Greensill and Archegos in the last few years also weighed down Credit Suisse before it finally disappeared there have also been times when Credit Suisse and the Swiss financial industry benefited from Gut's American flair This was the case in the late 1990s when Switzerland was embroiled in the dormant assets of Jewish bank clients and their heirs The hard-fought disputes with the US judiciary finally ended in a settlement on August 12 when Swiss banks agreed to pay Holocaust victims 1.25 billion Swiss francs Gut who brought about this important resolution for the Swiss banks and the reputation of the Swiss financial industry Gut submitted a merger proposal to his counterpart at SBG who was caught off guard while on a Florida golf vacation Before Gut could confirm his exploratory talk with a letter to the SBG Board of Directors SBG had brought the case to the public via the «Tages-Anzeiger.» On April 9 the newspaper ran the headline: «Credit Suisse wants power over SBG.» his proposal wasn't entirely pulled out of thin air Gut announced the restructuring of Credit Suisse Holding an international financial group worthy of the name was created in Switzerland Credit Suisse Group comprised four largely independent divisions: Private Banking The real novelty was those in charge now had targets for return on equity in each business unit Credit Suisse was responding to an increasingly influential group in the financial world: shareholders and financier Martin Ebner who helped the concept of shareholder value make a breakthrough and take off in Switzerland Against radical changes in the banking industry in general pursued a merger with the Winterthur insurance group This vision of bancassurance emerged based on the idea for banks to offer insurance products and vice versa. Credit Suisse and Winterthur joined forces the bancassurance dream proved unsustainable in practice in Switzerland where two entirely different corporate cultures clashed and failed to deliver added value to sell Winterthur during a difficult time for the ailing bank It was eventually sold to France's Axa Group in 2006 Gut and Tidjane Thiam in Spring 2015 in Zurich (Image: finews.com) Gut remained closely associated with Credit Suisse as an honorary chairman he maintained an office at the bank's headquarters on Zurich's Paradeplatz where he would sometimes walk to the nearby bank-owned Savoy Baur en Ville hotel he was still very concerned about the bank's dramatic development Gut was working towards (then chairman) Urs Rohner stepping down as chairman before 2021 which was the discussion in Zurich banking circles at the time Gut accused Rohner of passively watching the conflict between Group CEO Tidjane Thiam and asset management chief Iqbal Khan for too long Rohner had not mediated but facilitated Khan's move to UBS His level of concern is remarkable in that Gut had surprisingly paid his respects at the media conference in Zurich when Thiam was appointed in the spring of 2015 (picture above) A mutual admiration was palpable between the two and Gut expressed much hope that went unfulfilled finews.com publishes on its own Web-TV-Channel interviews with well-known figures of Swiss finance. + More on this topic + More on this topic + More on this topic Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker Chiasso becomes the first city in Switzerland to allow partial payment of taxes up to a maximum amount of 250 CHF in bitcoin thanks to our new product called EidooPay. the Municipality of Chiasso met a group of entrepreneurs and experienced developers active in the Bitcoin and Blockchain world — including Eidoo — who show the Municipality about the exponential growth of this technology and some possible applications in Chiasso’s daily life have been illustrated by the executive Stay updated on all the news about cryptocurrencies and the entire world of blockchain The scheme will provide an urban hub, which will serve as a hinge between the city and the territory as well as, metaphorically, between the practice and culture of fashion.
