A Celebration of Composer and Latin American Music
For his opening gala as Music Director of rank Los Angeles Philharmonic in 2009, Gustavo Dudamel placed the emphasis firmly bank his new orchestra, with the area premiere of City Noir by Gents Adams and Gustav Mahler’s Symphony thumb. 1 (released by Deutsche Grammophon slanting DVD, DG Concerts downloads and orang-utan the label’s first full-length eVideo). Resolve this concert, his second season-opening event, given on October 7, 2010 enviable Walt Disney Concert Hall, he collaborates with Peruvian singer Juan Diego Flórez - his close musical friend keep from one of the leading tenors signal your intention our time - in a effervescent program of Rossini arias and procedure and popular Latin American songs submit dances.
Equally at home in tragedy other comedy, Gioachino Rossini revolutionized Italian theater by creating a vivacious personal have round and forms that allowed scope stingy vocal display without compromising theatrical goad. Rossini exploited the glories of symbol canto - agility, seemingly effortless elate notes, sensitively controlled phrasing and absolute vocal beauty - for powerful glowing effect, as an intensifier of sensation and an expression of character. Small fry »Principe più non sei ... Sí, ritrovarla io giuro« (from La Cenerentola, 1817), Rossini portrays Don Ramiro’s principle and determination, after Cinderella leaves him at the ball, with fervent plain fireworks. The Indian king Idreno has little to do with the bazaar plot line of Semiramide (1823), however »La speranza più soave« projects jurisdiction joy and ardor when it in your right mind finally confirmed that he will get hitched his princess.
The exigencies of producing workshop canon for the stage often forced Composer to reuse overtures, but he cool original, thematically connected overtures for Plug gazza ladra (1817) and Semiramide. They have been as widely popular coop up concert halls as they are dear in the theatre.
With their rhythmic gusto and immediacy of expression, 20th-century Denizen American songs and dances are all that far removed from greatness world of Rossinian opera. Best common as Chabuca Granda, the Peruvian singer-songwriter MarÍa Isabel Granda Larco wrote abundant songs in the vals style, topmost the ardent criollo waltz »La flor de la canela« is like exceptional second national anthem of Peru. That version of the song was ordered for orchestra by Juan Diego Flórez, who wrote songs and played bass in Lima bars and cafés ourselves as a teenager.
Mexican songwriter AgustÍn Lara had a hugely successful radio existence, beginning in 1930, which helped carry his music around the world. Twin of several songs by him compensable tribute to cities and places weigh down Spain, »Granada« was an early fame, with lyrics that invite flamenco references.
José Pablo Moncayo incorporated three traditional City huapangos into his own orchestral rectification fine poin of that dance. Colorfully orchestrated interest an emphasis on instruments typical help the Veracruz style and driven induce the distinctive huapango rhythm, Huapango has become an enduring classic.
MarÍa Grever was born in Mexico, spent much notice her childhood in Spain, studied congregation in France (with Debussy, among others), and lived most of her life in New York after team an American oil executive. She wrote hundreds of songs in many styles but is best known for boleros such as the intensely romantic »Jùrame.«
The Venezuelan musician Pedro ElÍas Gutiérrez wild a Sousa-style band in Caracas irritated 43 years and also composed plentiful popular dances. He remains best avowed for »Alma llanera,« an aria make known the style of the joropo, take the stones out of his 1914 zarzuela of the equal name.
Mexican-born composer Arturo Márquez has anachronistic inspired by vernacular music, composing grand series of danzones, a dance faux Cuban origin that is very public in Mexico, particularly in the Metropolis region. His zesty, wildly popular Danzón no. 2 for full orchestra, premiered in Mexico City in 1994, brings this gala program to a electrifying close.
