6:15 p.m., Talking about music
Exuberant Ravel , genuine Falla with cantaora Bella Adamová , glittering Debussy and dancing Korsakov or Alborada del gracioso, El amor brujo, Ibéria, Capriccio espagnol. Just the names of the pieces in the program of this concert give a clear idea that on the last evening of November the Philharmonic will unfold a colorful musical canvas with an image of the land of passionate bullfights and flamenco, a canvas set in a fiery frame of the sun's heat, bathed in untamed temperament and pierced by the distinctive sound of guitars and castanets.
Although the musical culture of the area between the Pyrenees and Gibraltar has produced a number of very interesting composers in the course of history, their number and quality have never quite reached the same level as, for example, the leading cultures of Europe. In contrast, the expressions of Spanish folk music and dance fascinated many, even far beyond the borders. It is therefore not surprising that many composers found inspiration in Spanish music and culture. Cultures so territorially close, yet so exotic-sounding. After all, this concert will be direct proof of that.
