大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra - Ginastera, Piazzolla, Falla
Martin Handley presents a concert from the Barbican in which Josep Pons leads the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra in music evoking Spain and South America, by Ginastera, Piazzolla and Falla.
Presented by Martin Handley.
From the Barbican Centre in London, the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Josep Pons, with repertoire evoking Spain and South America. The concert opens in an Argentinean sugar-cane farm with Dances from Estancia, energetic ballet music by Alberto Ginastera; then it's nature's turn as tango master Astor Piazzolla pays homage to the Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the Andes in a concerto for bandoneon and orchestra -with Pablo Maineti the soloist. Manuel de Falla's colourful orchestral palette comes next with two highly descriptive pieces, Nights in the Gardens of Spain and The Three Cornered Hat - Suite No. 2.
