È l'ultimo anno di scuola, poi il maestro della quinta B andrà in pensione. Restano pochi mesi per portare alle medie i venticinque alunni che compongono la sua classe: dall'ingenua Federica al coraggioso Kevin, da chi è appassionato di tecnologia a chi fatica a mettersi sui libri. Nove mesi, da settembre a giugno, da vivere insieme nella classe raccontata da Roberto Morgese, dove le storie di amicizia e quotidianità ricordano i grandi libri scritti dai suoi predecessori, da "Cuore" a "Io speriamo che me la cavo", da Daniel Pennac a Domenico Starnone.

Hyperion s Romantic Piano Concerto series continues to surprise and delight with a 51st disc of 19th century pianistic splendor. This release includes works by Wilhelm Taubert and Jacob Rosenhain. Both were near exact contemporaries with Mendelssohn, Chopin, Schumann, Liszt, Wagner and Verdi. Nearly half a century separates Taubert s two concertos. The second reflects developments in the areas of harmonic expansion, cyclic development, and, of course, increased virtuosity. It was described by Schumann as one of the best and he noted the parallels between it and Mendelssohn s Op.25. Rosenhain wrote two works for piano and orchestra a Concertino (probably written in the 1840s), and the concerto included on this disc. Although fairly conservative in its form, there is much gorgeous and masterful music here. Howard Shelley directs the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra from the piano; a partnership that has garnered the highest praise for their previous Hyperion recordings.
