The 麻豆社 Philharmonic from Manchester
The 麻豆社 Philharmonic and Juanjo Mena are reunited for a Mediterranean fiesta. Violinist James Ehnes joins them for virtuosic music by Saint-Sa毛ns and Sarasate.
Conductor Juanjo Mena and violinist James Ehnes, both good friends of the orchestra, join the 麻豆社 Philharmonic for music with a Spanish flavour. Saint-Sa毛ns Third Violin Concerto and Sarasate's tuneful and virtuosic 'Carmen' Fantasy are brought vividly to life by James Ehnes, one of the great violinists of our time. The programme ends with music from Manuel de Falla's ballet 'The Three-Cornered Hat'; deft musical story-telling is conveyed through infectious rhythms. A Spanish flavour shines through Ravel's own orchestration of his cheeky piano piece 'Alborada del gracioso' and the concert opens at an extravagant party with Berlioz's 'Roman Carnival' Overture.
