Jennifer Pike
Alhambra theatre , waiting for the first sounds of Manuel de Falla ’ s new ballet the ‘ Three Cornered Hat ’. Picasso ’ s colourful images got them in the mood for the sensuous sounds of Falla ’ s music – its intoxicating rhythms , bold colours and vivid descriptions of Iberian life . Also performed here is Falla ’ s darker , more intimate and supernatural score ‘ El Amor Brujo ( Love , the Magician )’, the perfect foil to Bruch ’ s beauteous and gregarious Violin Concerto .
With a post-concert ‘ Northern Sinfonia Spotlight ’
