Twenty
, fun fun fun. On a day like today is almost mandatory to put something on the blog even as a mere excuse to congratulate the parties to all readers of this corner. It could have gone to some figure of opera singing carols, but I think it is something so light that I decided to throw me something completely different, something that somehow has to do with me. And leaving aside temporarily the leitmotiv that Government will continue this blog, I have decided to offer an instrumental piece of a contemporary author. What makes this boy, operatic bel canto and Rossini him, offering something instrumental and over our times? If the entry avanzais find the answer.
As you know, the server resides in Antequera, whose reconquest from the Muslims back in 1410 at the hands of the Infante Don Fernando (future Ferdinand I "The de Antequera") stalled considerably in the society as Subsequent artistic expression, whether paintings, chronicles, romances and music (in case you are interested in deepening a little more about the subject, I refer to this entry ). Well, after the reconquest of the city, Muslims residing in it were forced to emigrate, founding the cities of Granada and Toledo two separate districts with the name "The Antequeruela" in memory of the city that once was his country, neighborhoods that still exist today date.
Well, the composer Teruel Antón García Abril composed during the past decade, a concerto for piano and string orchestra entitled Night of Antequeruela , a work devoted to Manuel de Falla on the 50th anniversary of its death. And before talking about the work itself, it would not hurt a brief biographical sketch of our hero art today. And is that García Abril, born on May 19, 1933, is behind operas, orchestral works, cantatas, concerts, (violin, piano, guitar, cello, flute, two pianos, two guitars) and chamber music. In March 1982 he was elected member of the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid, in May 1995 for the Academy of Fine and Fine Arts of San Luis de Zaragoza, appointed in January 2003 unanimously Academic Honor of the Academy in 1997 for the Academy of Fine Arts Our Lady of Sorrows in Granada, in 2000 the National Academy of Fine Arts in Argentina and in 2001 for the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de Santa Isabel de Hungría in Seville.
composition now occupied by the blog entry was premiered in 1996 at the Auditorio de Galicia, Guillermo Gonzalez on piano and the Santiago Philharmonic Orchestra led by Max Zumalave in 1996. According to the author, seeks to be a poetic description of enchantment to the ecstatic contemplation of the night and at the sound of silence magnetic fascination of the sky, the highest inspiration of perfection. The composer was inspired by verses of our songs, such as "At the dawn come, my friend" and poets Ángel González Rafael Alberti and to shape the musical poetry of the composition of night, in which has sought to evoke the poetic mystery of distant constellations of Andalusia. The work if divided into Introduction, The Way of the night, Night I, Constellation I, Night II, The fullness of silence, Constellation II, Soledad and Paths of light. In total, 30 minutes of sweet and thoughtful couple music.
The interpretation I offer is provided by Gustavo Díaz Jerez the piano and Gran Canaria Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Gunther Herbig. Concert performance held in the Auditorium Alfredo Kraus de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on November 24de 2006. The sound is very good. Here you have the link:
Night of Antequeruela
may not be typical Christmas audition, but allow me to these "Night of the Antequeruela" take the opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and may 2007 be the best the worst thing you can think along the imminent 2008.
Until next time!
