Fri 19 March 2010, 1.10pm |
‘Albéniz’s pieces have been exalted thanks to a sophisticated and virtuous touch, full of nuances of poetic abandon and vibrating sonority.’ Puglia Italian virtuoso pianist Vincenzo Delli Noci makes his UK debut performing pieces by two giants from the golden age of Spanish pianism, Albéniz and Granados. 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. Delli Noci is an active ambassador of lesser-known repertoire and his recent project exploring 20th-century virtuoso transcriptions of Strauss’ waltz will soon be out on CD.

‘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. 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. Claudio Santoro Love Songs Carlos Guastavino Flores Argentinas Heitor Villa-Lobos Forest of the Amazon www.mayasapone.com |
