Obra: Spanish Overture no. 2, "Recollection of a Summer Night in Madrid"

Gergiev y la Orquesta del Teatro Mariinsky reviven de manera excelsa el vínculo entre la gran tradición musical rusa y el folclore español durante su primera intervención en el Festival de Granada. 

Miloš Karadaglić provides atmosphere and virtuosity in Joby Talbot’s newest work, while Alexander Vedernikov and the BBC Symphony Orchestra give Russian flourishes in Glinka and Tchaikovsky.

Vladimir Jurowski and the LPO cut an unusual slice of Russian music, with energetic performances of five works from four composers and Steven Isserlis outstanding in Prokofiev's Cello Concerto.
