Anne-Sophie Mutter (née le 29 juin 1963 à Rheinfelden, dans le Bade-Wurtemberg) est une violoniste allemande. Enfant prodige du violon, découverte par Herbert von Karajan, elle aborde avec aisance tous les répertoires de Bach à Penderecki et s'est imposée comme l'une des plus grandes violonistes de son temps. Elle commence le piano à cinq ans, puis le violon peu après, et elle gagne dès sept ans le concours fédéral de la jeunesse musicale avec la mention d’excellence. Elle gagne le même concours une seconde fois en 1974, puis est dispensée d’obligation scolaire, ce qui lui permet de se consacrer pleinement à son art. Anne-Sophie Mutter va étudier avec Erna Honigberger, élève de Carl Flesch, puis avec Aida Stucki. À treize ans, elle est remarquée par Herbert von Karajan, qui la fait jouer avec l'Orchestre philharmonique de Berlin. Elle joue ensuite en 1977 au festival de Pâques et au festival d'été de Salzbourg puis en Angleterre avec le English Chamber Orchestra dirigé par Daniel Barenboim. C’est en février 1978, à quatorze ans, qu’elle se produit pour la première fois en soliste avec l’Orchestre philharmonique de Berlin. Elle interprète le concerto pour violon et orchestre en sol majeur de Mozart. La même année, à quinze ans, elle fait son premier enregistrement pour la Deutsche Grammophon: les concertos no 3 et no 5 de Mozart avec l’Orchestre philharmonique de Berlin dirigé par Karajan, enregistrement qui se verra décerner le grand prix international du disque l’année suivante. Elle est nommée artiste de l’année 1979. L'année suivante, elle enregistre avec le même orchestre et le même chef le Concerto pour violon de Beethoven. «C’est la révélation du siècle!» a dit d'elle son bienfaiteur Herbert von Karajan. En 1980, Anne-Sophie Mutter fait sa première apparition aux États-Unis, avec l’Orchestre philharmonique de New York dirigé par Zubin Mehta. Elle gagne la même année le Regio-Preis für Musik et un Maschera d’Argento. Elle est nommée présidente honoraire de la Mozart Society de l’Université d'Oxford en 1983, et décorée de l’Ordre du Mérite de RFA en 1986. En 1988, lors d'une grande tournée aux États-Unis et au Canada, Anne-Sophie Mutter fait sa première prestation au Carnegie Hall. Elle est également nommée citoyenne d’honneur de Wehr. En 1996, elle prend une année sabbatique à la suite de la mort de son premier mari. En 1998, elle se consacre entièrement aux sonates pour piano et violon de Beethoven, qu’elle joue dans le monde entier avec Lambert Orkis. Ils enregistrent un disque en public, comprenant l’intégralité des sonates. En 2015, à l'occasion des cent cinquante ans de la naissance de Jean Sibelius, Anne-Sophie Mutter joue le concerto pour violon en ré mineur, accompagnée par l'orchestre royal du Concertgebouw d'Amsterdam, sous la baguette d’Andris Nelsons. Il avait été prévu qu'elle joue ce concerto en 1985 sous la direction de Sergiu Celibidache, mais le concert n'a pu avoir lieu à la suite d'un différend entre «Celi» et la soliste: elle n'était tout simplement pas au niveau des exigences musicales du maestro. ...

When her father forbade her to enter Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography, she went to MSU Philology Department. After three years she transferred to GITIS, but didn’t finish her studies. In 1987-88, Smirnova worked at Mosfilm with Sergei Solovyov, in the meantime performing in punk-rock band Tupie and contributing to Urlait samizdat magazine. At the age of 20, Smirnova married Arkady Ippolitov and moved to Leningrad with him.

Smirnova wrote her first screenplay in 1992. Together with Alexei Uchitel she created The Last Hero (Russian movie) about Kino leader Viktor Tsoi.

All films met mostly positive responses both by critics and the public. The Connection, released in 2006, became Smirnova's first experience as a director. Her comedy drama Two Days (2011) collected many awards but was much criticized for romanticizing the state officials as one of the protagonists and main hero in the movie was running for governor's post. In parallel with Smirnova's real life marriage to a top-ranking state official, critics perceived the film as an attempt to whitewash the image of the government employees.

Giorgio Napolitano (Italian: [ˈdʒordʒo napoliˈtaːno]; 29 June 1925 – 22 September 2023) was an Italian politician who served as the president of Italy from 2006 to 2015, the first to be re-elected to the office.[1][2] In office for 8 years and 244 days, he was the longest-serving president, until the record was surpassed by Sergio Mattarella in 2023. He also was the longest-lived president in the history of the Italian Republic,[3] which has been in existence since 1946. Although he was a prominent figure of the First Italian Republic, he did not take part in the Constituent Assembly of Italy that drafted the Italian constitution;[3] he is considered one of the symbols of the Second Italian Republic, which came about after the Tangentopoli scandal of the 1990s.[3] Due to his dominant position in Italian politics, some critics have sometimes referred to him as Re Giorgio ("King Giorgio").[4] Napolitano was a longtime member of the Italian Communist Party, which he joined in 1945 after taking part in the Italian resistance movement, and of its post-Communist democratic socialist and social democratic successors, from the Democratic Party of the Left to the Democrats of the Left. He was a leading member of migliorismo, a reformist, moderate, and modernizing faction on the right-wing of the PCI,[5][6][7] which was inspired by the values of democratic socialism,[8] looked favourably to social democracy, and was interested in revisionist Marxism.[9] First elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 1953, he took an assiduous interest in parliamentary life and was president of the Chamber of Deputies from 1992 to 1994. He was Minister of the Interior from 1996 to 1998 during the first Prodi government.[10] A close friend of Henry Kissinger,[11] he was also the first high-ranking leader of a communist party to visit the United States, which he did in 1978.[10]
