Rhythm, dance and orchestral colour guide the Carnival Concert conducted by Jaume Santonja.
The Orchestra della Toscana opens with Aaron Copland’s Three Latin American Sketches, followed by Astor Piazzolla’s Aconcagua, a concerto for bandoneon, performed here on the accordion by João Barradas. The transition from Latin America to Europe highlights different approaches to dance and theatrical gesture.
The second half juxtaposes Gabriel Fauré’s suite Masques et bergamasques, Op. 112 with Manuel de Falla’s suite from El amor brujo, in a journey that moves from French refinement to the theatrical power of Spanish music.
