In a fairy-tale Andalusia, a young miller and his wife outwit a clumsy old suitor, in music that glows with Spanish sunlight. Gabriela Ortiz imagines another love story – the marriage of Clara and Robert Schumann – and retells a romance that was forged through music. And Tchaikovsky casts off his gloom to sing and dance, in a Violin Concerto that simply brims with his glorious brand of melody.
It’s a perfect showcase for the artistry of the “utterly captivating” (The Strad) violinist Alena Baeva; just as the incomparable voice of mezzo-soprano Rihab Chaieb will bring a special dimension to Falla’s folk-inspired ballet. Guest conductor Nil Venditti brings all her energy and insight to a concert in which wonderful tunes hide still more marvellous depths.
