Not the usual, boring slate of offerings. If it was presented locally, I'd attend.

[franz_]

Strange, different, interessesting, and very ok.
Good programm. I sit a concert in Spain, or do you live in Spain?
And do you always chose those composers, or do you also play the 'usual' stuff?

[Kassaa]

I would make Alborada del Gracioso part of your main program, it's too much work to be just played as an encore, apart from that, for some reason I think an ALL Spanish program will give people headaches, but you obviously want a Spanish themed recital.

How about the complete Miroirs in the first half before the intermission, omitting the  Scene de enfants and Caprice, and as the last piece a Liszt Spanish-themed piece (could be the Spanish Rhapsody, doesn't have to). Liszt has a huge Concert-Fantasie on Spanish themes (19 minutes), and a nice Rondo Fantastique on El Contrabandista (10 minutes) for a softer ending, his Feuille Morte (10 minutes) is absolutely wonderful.

Do you think that you can pull off such a lengthy and demanding program?  Have you given recitals before?  If you are limited in such experience, I would recommend choosing a shorter program.  I wish you the best of luck, whatever you do.

To comment on the program itself, there seems to be so many smaller pieces that the program loses a bit of continuity.  Again, a shorter recital would justify the choice of a number of smaller works.

But I don't see any John Williams in there... so....


Looks interesting.  Some composers I know.  Some new.  It would be a different concert for sure. 

Why just the one movement from the Debussy though?  I suppose the breaking up of works makes me wonder a little.

re. all spanish music and headaches: hah! honestly, i have thought of that too. but i need now opinions from more people concerning this matter. people?

so the whole miroirs, huh? not certain about liszt for the time being, tho thanks for the recommendation as i might use it for future reference.

  Gitana I
  Gitana II
  La cegueta
  L'home de l'aristo

Danse Rituelle du feu                                                        de Falla

   Variations
   Alborada
   Scene and Gypsy song
   Asturian Fandango

dnephi, its a normal recital program in terms of length and difficulty. yes

I wish you the best of luck, whatever you do.

To comment on the program itself, there seems to be so many smaller pieces that the program loses a bit of continuity.  Again, a shorter recital would justify the choice of a number of smaller works.

thank you. what do you think of the 2nd option above?

But I don't see any John Williams in there... so....

I would love to hear the Winkler/Rimsky Korsakov.

It remains unrecorded to my knowledge.
