Not the usual, boring slate of offerings. If it was presented locally, I'd attend.
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?
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?
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.
I would love to hear the Winkler/Rimsky Korsakov.It remains unrecorded to my knowledge.Thal
