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’
