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?
thanks for the inputs. i play the usual stuff also.
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.
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.
what do you think of this new construction:
3 Sonatas Scarlatti
Mirroirs Ravel
Noctuelles
Oiseaux tristes
Une barque sur l'océan
Alborada del gracioso
La vallée des cloches
intermission
Suburbis Mompou
El carrer, el guitarrista i el vell cavall
Gitana I
Gitana II
La cegueta
L'home de l'aristo
Danse Rituelle du feu de Falla
Caprice Espagnole Rimsky-Korsakov/Winkler
Alborada
Variations
Alborada
Scene and Gypsy song
Asturian Fandango
Do you think that you can pull off such a lengthy and demanding program? Have you given recitals before?
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....
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.
john williams? haha
..maybe for later programming, i was initially thinking of a spanish program, bob. thats why i dragged la siree dans grenade from the set...
