Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Fantasía para un gentilhombre (Fantasy for a Nobleman)

The LPO and Jaime Martin en pointe in a lively dance inspired programme of music by de Falla, Rodrigo and Prokofiev.

Last night’s concert programme read like the travelling itinerary of a young English aristocrat embarking on the fashionable “Grand Tour” of Europe. The concert began in Spain with Rodrigo’s Fantasia para un gentilhombre, a piece as imbued with the flavours of Spanish folk music as his more famous Concierto de Aranjuéz, also for guitar and orchestra.

Un viaje emocional cargado de contrastes de la mano de Pablo Sainz-Villegas, Andrés Salado y la OEX, fue la constante en las obras Martín y Soler, Rodrigo y Dukas.
