Márquez, Casals, Debussy, De Falla, Ravel - Bromley Symphony Orchestra

Part of the Bromley Symphony Orchestra 2017-18 Season

Add to my Calendar 11-11-2017 19:45 11-11-2017 21:45 36 Márquez, Casals, Debussy, De Falla, Ravel - Bromley Symphony Orchestra Sexy, sassy and Latin American, Márquez’s Dansón No. 2 is followed by a Spanish folk miniature for solo cello and orchestra. Then we get into the meat of the concert. Debussy’s ‘Ibéria’ – impressionistic and evocative – reminds us of his comment: ‘Music is as boundless as the elements, the wind, the sky, the sea… ’ De Falla himself acknowledged Debussy’s achievement: ‘the intoxicating spell of Andalusian nights, the joyous strains of guitars and bandurrias, whirls in the air!’ De Falla’s own Nights in the Gardens of Spain follows (‘the most tragic and sorrowful of his works, expressing an intimate and passionate drama.’) Catherine Borner’s piano solos are woven within a flamboyant orchestral texture. We conclude with Ravel’s iconic Boléro – by far his most famous work.(At its premiere, a woman furiously objected that Ravel must be mad. Ravel’s comment? ‘She has understood the piece!’) A barn-storming finale! Langley Park Centre for the Performing Arts, London DD/MM/YYYY
