Alexandre Tharaud plays BB#3 in BarcelonaDate: 05/03/2013 - 21:00 05/04/2013 - 19:00 05/05/2013 - 11:00 Location: Spain: Barcelona Work Performed: Bachianas Brasileiras #3 22 THE OBC WITH ALEXANDRE THARAUD Prices from: 23 € PERFORMERS ORQUESTRA SIMFÒNICA DE BARCELONA I NACIONAL DE CATALUNYA (OBC) BACH: Concerto for keyboards and orchestra in D minor, BWV 1052 Alberto Ginastera is one of the most important Argentinian composers and educationalists in history. His music is a unique blend of folk, South American dance and the compositional techniques of the twentieth century that he learned in the United States, where composers of the likes of Hindemith, Schönberg and Bartók himself went into exile after 1945. Estancia (1941) is an early suite, a clear exponent of Argentinian musical nationalism and true compendium of the Gaucho style, which is an abundance of hugely energetic dances, as can be seen in the final Malambo. In the same vein, the sound portrait of Brazilian composer Villa-Lobos is a perfect mixture between the weight of European tradition and the rhythms of his country: the Bachianas Brasileiras mark the culmination of this two-way encounter, which goes perfectly with the Bach concerto played by French pianist Alexandre Tharaud. We will end our taster in Mexico, with the work that made composer Silvestre Revueltas famous all over the world, Redes (1935), one of the century's major pieces of film music. |
