Jorge Luis Prats plays Falla

In the Master Pianist series, Jorge Luis Prats overwhelmed last season with an Albéniz programme. Today he takes the listener back to Spain — for the Cuban his second motherland. In Nights in the gardens of Spain, Prats solemnly presents beautiful musical sketches by Manuel de Falla. Stunning jasmine around the Alhambra, a dance party in a distant garden, and the mysticism of Córdoba. Three atmospheric nights in one enchanting piece of music.

Warm southern nights

Jorge Luis Prats is accompanied by the Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte‐Carlo. That leaves his sunny home base for a summer night in Amsterdam. Chef Kazuki Yamada leads not only Falla but also España of the Frenchman Chabrier. On a trip through Spain he was struck by the country, its inhabitants and music. The rhapsody España set a big trend: after Chabrier came Debussy and Ravel with Spanish pieces. Motherorgski's Night on the bare mountain does not sound Spanish, but it is sultry, full of dark witchcraft. Van Delius sounds the beautiful orchestral fantasy In a Summer Garden.
