Programme Notes

Your Spanish adventure starts here! After Turina’s evocation of the sun and the limitless blue sky, South Korean guitarist JIJI plays Rodrigo’s evergreen concerto, much loved for its ravishing slow movement.

Falla’s opera La vida breve tells of the life and love of a gypsy girl. In his ballet of village life, the miller’s wife is pursued by the oafish magistrate whose official headgear gives the piece its title. When she outwits him, everybody dances an exuberant jota, castanets blazing.

Notes Fund - Music for this concert has been supported by Jenny & Andrew Smith and David Lovell
