The Cardinall's Musick | |
Mon 12 July 2010, 7.30pm |
(Not an ILAMS concert but one we highly recommend!) The Cardinall's Musick, vocal ensemble ‘Il siglo d’oro’ – the Golden Age – was the name that Spaniards gave to their great flowering of music and culture in the 16th century. Spain brought forth some of the finest writers of the age and the Virgin Mary was a popular subject with all of them. Francisco Guerrero was known as ‘el cantor de Maria’. Much of his highly characterful music was dedicated to the Virgin, from well-crafted four-part pieces to the more splendid double-choir numbers. This fascinating exploration of music from 16th-century Spain sets Guerrero alongside his contemporaries and colleagues Morales, Esquivel, Vivanco, Alonso Lobo and the brightest star of all, Tomás Luis da Victoria.

‘Songs to Die For’: the Sumptuous World of Latin American Art Song | |
Fri 16 April 2010, 1.00pm |
'Fabulously hot-blooded' The Times Opera. Classical. Folk. Jazz. Latin. What makes Latin American 'art' music special is its ability to transcend the traditional barriers between 'classical' and 'popular' and nowhere is this more patent than in its 'art' songs, which blend the two into something utterly irresistible. Few classically-trained singers can render these with as much versatility and authenticity as Maya Sapone, whose technical and stylistic dynamicism are truly amazing. 'Songs to Die for' is a new project in collaboration with leading Iberican specalist Helen Glaisher-Hernández, which seeks to explore the liminal possibilities between the paramaters of 'high' and 'low' art, where intellect meets passion.

This repertoire is full of excitement and intense expression but also delicate and elegant, evocative of the Spanish landscapes and colours of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The Unknown Villa-Lobos | |
Mon 23 November 2009, 1.10pm |
2009 marks 50 years since the death of the legendary Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos - described as ‘the single most significant creative figure in 20th-century Brazilian art music’, and who has become the best-known and most significant Latin American composer of all time, lionised from Paris to New York. Although the name ‘Villa-Lobos’ is well known across the international music world, the vast majority of his music remains undiscovered by the regular concert-goer. And even though he was one of the most prolific composers of his time, his output is often overshadowed by his solo piano works, or his chef d’oeuvre, the Bachianas Brasileiras. This programme aims to showcase some of Villa-Lobos’ most outstanding, lesser-known chamber works alongside the essential Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5.

Coro Cervantes: 'The Sacred Made Music' | |
Wed 21 October 2009, 7.30pm |
A concert of Spanish sacred choral music inspired by the National Gallery exhibition The Sacred Made Real In the 17th century, sacred music tried to bring the faithful closer to the divine by heightening the emotions of the listener, something painting and sculpture endeavoured to do through a realistic depiction of the main subjects of the church. These universal religious themes have inspired composers through the centuries to produce some of their most intense and beautiful works. This concert follows these subjects - as indeed does the exhibition - with the 17th century as starting point and main point of focus, including some of the pinnacles of the Renaissance, Baroque, Classicism, Romanticism and the 20th century, and the Ave Maria by Rodrigo, which follows the long tradition of Marian musical pieces in Spain.

'Spanish Inspiration': Rodrigo for Four Hands | |
Mon 19 October 2009, 7.30pm |
The Spanish Moreno Gistaín Piano Duo perform Rodrigo and other four-handed works inspired by Hispania Joaquín Rodrigo was not a guitarist, as the fame of his guitar concerto, the Concierto de Aranjuez, has lead many to believe, but actually a virtuoso pianist who naturally wrote prolifically for the piano and performed his own works in his recitals. Two of Rodrigo’s piano works for four hands are juxtaposed here with other Hispanic pieces and works inspired by Spain for the four-hand genre in a highly imaginative programme by the talented Spanish Moreno Gistaín duo. Mikhail Glinka Capriccio brillante on the Jota Aragonesa (tr. by A. Winkler) Moritz Moszkowski ‘Maurische Fantasie’ from the ballet Boabdil (transcription by the composer) Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov Capriccio Espagnol, Op. 34 (tr. by the composer) Joaquín Rodrigo Sonatina para dos muñecas Joaquín Rodrigo Juglares (tr. by the composer) Maurice Ravel Rapsodie Espagnole (tr. by the composer) Manuel de Falla Two Spanish dances from La vida breve (tr. by G. Samazehouil) Alfredo Rugeles Tanguitis ‘A piano and two pianists recreate an entire orchestra. Two young musicians who combine talent, work and excellent discernment.’ El Periódico Brothers Juan Fernando and José Enrique Moreno Gistaín have already carved out an illustrious reputation for themselves in Spain as one of the country’s leading four-hand duos. Born in Aragón, they studied with Maurizio Pollini, Josep Pons and have attended courses at the Salzburg Mozarteum. They have recorded for National Spanish Radio, Aragón Television, Catalonia Music, National Spanish Television, and on CD for the Albert Moraleda label. The duo have performed worldwide, with tours supported by a trail of scholarships from all the major funding bodies in Spain. They were recently invited to play with the Symphonic Orchestra of Spanish Radio/Television at the IV Victims of Terrorism Tribute Concert, which was broadcast on Spanish national television and was presided over by the Princess of Asturias, Lady Letizia Ortiz. *Entry to this event is free but reservations are limited to ILAMS members only.

'Aranjuez mon amour': the Life and Music of Joaquín Rodrigo in his Own Words, with Cecilia Rodrigo and Carlos Bonell | |
Wed 7 October 2009, 7.30pm |
Cecilia Rodrigo introduces and reads a fascinating collection of letters and essays written by her father, composer Joaquín Rodrigo, with a script compiled by guitarist Carlos Bonell. Together with Bonell playing music by Falla, Sanz, Sainz de la Maza and Rodrigo himself, the presentation will include letters to some of Spain’s leading artists of the last century, including Segovia, Mompou, and Manuel de Falla, and his future wife Victoria K. The letters reveal a personal and artistic struggle to find success and satisfaction, and are a vivid evocation of the turbulent times which Joaquin Rodrigo’s long life (1901-1999) encompassed. ‘High art…a virtuoso performance. A keen aural imagination, and the technique to reproduce the subtlety of tints and tones he hears, is what makes the playing of Bonell so distinctive.’ The Times Carlos Bonell was born in London of Spanish parents and studied at the Royal College of Music with John Williams, where he was appointed the youngest ever professor in 1972. He gained prominence in 1981 through his recording for Decca of Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez. He has made more than 20 LP, CD and DVD recordings, received a Grammy nomination, and has been awarded the prestigious Spanish prize Premio Trujamán. Since 2006 Carlos has been helping Sir Paul McCartney in notating and recording a concerto for guitar and orchestra. The work was featured in a June 2007 cover article by The New Yorker magazine. Programme to include: Joaquín Rodrigo La sarabanda lejana N.B. Narration in English. Part of the ILAMS October Rodrigo Festival. |
Lecture with Graham Wade: ‘Perspectives on Joaquín Rodrigo, Ten Years after his Death’ | |
Thu 1 October 2009, 7.00pm |
The reputation of Joaquín Rodrigo has been consolidated since his death ten years ago in the wide variety of publications, recordings and films devoted to his life and music. His central role in Spanish music of the second half of the 20th century is now being evaluated and the immense stature of his vast output is increasingly becoming appreciated. ‘Author Graham Wade has become [Rodrigo’s] Boswell…’ Classic FM Magazine Graham Wade, the undisputed expert on the life and works of Joaquín Rodrigo both in the UK and worldwide, opens the 2009 Rodrigo Festival with a talk on the composer and his legacy. A regular author of programme and liner notes on the composer, Wade’s research culminated in his 2006 book Joaquín Rodrigo: Travelling to Aranjuez. In his talk, Wade will examine Rodrigo’s position ten years after his death, and will discuss the 21st century future of this consummately 20th-century artist. Graham Wade, a graduate of Jesus College, Cambridge, a Fellow of Trinity College of Music, London, and formerly Head of Strings at City of Leeds College of Music, is acknowledged as one of the foremost international writers on classical guitar, and aspects of Spanish music and culture including the life and works of Joaquín Rodrigo. His publications include highly-acclaimed biographical studies of Segovia, Rodrigo, Bream and Bachauer, as well as books on guitar history. He has written liner notes for record companies such as Deutsche Grammophon, EMI, Naxos and RCA, and conducted guitar seminars at conservatories and festivals worldwide. In 2002 he was awarded the Schott Gold Medal for his contribution to Rodrigo studies. Graham Wade is an Advisory Editor for British and American editions of The New Grove Dictionary and for many years wrote programme notes for Segovia and Bream. N.B. Lecture in English.

'Commemorating the Tárrega Centenary' | |
Fri 18 September 2009, 7.30pm |
Francisco Tárrega (1852-1909) is rightly regarded as the patriarch of the modern classical guitar. He was a superb virtuoso, a very influential teacher, a gifted composer, and he was also a prolific transcriber and arranger of music for the guitar. 7.30pm, Pre-concert Talk: Francisco Tárrega and the Art of Guitar Transcription, by Walter Aaron ClarkThe lecture will examine this aspect of Tárrega's career, paying particular attention to his transcriptions of Spanish classics by his friend and compatriot Isaac Albéniz, the renowned pianist and composer, who also died in 1909. Walter A. Clark is a professor of musicology at the University of California, Riverside, and director of the Center for Iberian and Latin American Music. He has authored major biographies of Albéniz and Granados, both published by Oxford. A student of Pepe Romero, he also holds a master's degree in classical guitar. 8.45pm, Concert: Fernando Espí'... an emerging new talent .... an outstanding guitarist of the new generation.' Classical Guitar ‘Fernando Espí’s performances are rooted in an authentic, historically informed approach. The result is at once beautiful and very exciting.’ Gramophone Spanish guitarist and Valencian compatriot of Tárrega, Fernando Espí, offers an overview of Tárrega’s various facets, from monumental works such as the Recuerdos de la Alhambra to some of his lesser-known gems, including some of the transcriptions which were crucial in widening what was previously an extremely limited repertoire.

'Guitarra y mujer': Here Come the Girls | |
Wed 16 September 2009, 7.30pm |
‘La guitarra es como una mujer: cuando crees que la dominas, es cuando te demuestra lo contrario.’ Paco de Lucía ('The guitar is like a woman: just when you think you have managed to master her, she proves you wrong.') Women have been compared to guitars since the instrument first existed, as objects of sensitive temperament, to be played, touched and caressed – by men alone. The Latin Classical Guitar Festival kicks off with an all-female line-up from Spain, Latin America and the UK who will prove to you that, to the contrary, the guitar is a very female instrument.

London Symphony Orchestra
Ginastera's ballet Estancia (1941) was inspired by life on the ranches of Argentina. His bravura four-movement suite drawn from it is bracingly rhythmic. Piazzolla's Aconcagua (1979) is named after the highest mountain in the Americas. The concerto, showcasing the accordion-like bandoneon, concludes in the composer's much-loved tango rhythms. La Noche de los Mayas, originally a 1939 film score, was edited after Revueltas' death into a compelling symphonic suite, which builds to a ferocious climax. |
