Concert Information
Fiesta season comes early with the welcome return of James Ehnes, one of the world鈥檚 finest violinists. At the heart of this programme is Saint-Sa毛ns' impassioned Third Violin Concerto. It鈥檚 a classic, written for the virtuoso Pablo de Sarasate, who wasn鈥檛 averse to writing the odd tune for his own instrument either. In Sarasate鈥檚 hands, the violin becomes Carmen, the exotic figure who beguiled toreadors and composers alike. Manuel de Falla keeps things smouldering with The Three-Cornered Hat. It鈥檚 a tale worthy of El Dorado (the lost golden city and the 91热爆 soap), infused with Andalusian folk music and the dance rhythms of flamenco and the fandango. On the podium, Juanjo Mena returns to keep things in order in a programme with sun-kissed music by Ravel and Berlioz.
