Program Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n

We dedicate this program to music written by Spanish composers or closely associated with Spain, even when composed by foreign composers.<\/p>\n

When Luciano Berio was commissioned to compose an opening piece for the 1975 season at La Scala, he looked back to an Italian who, like so many others, had made his fortune abroad: Luigi Boccherini, who settled in Spain in 1768 to work for Luis de Borb\u00f3n, brother of Charles III. Among his extensive chamber music output, the Quintet, Op. 30, No. 6 stands out\u2014a programmatic work titled *La musica notturna delle strade di Madrid*\u2014whose first movement, *Ritirata*, Berio orchestrated for a full orchestra. It is a charming musical depiction of the curfew and the guard\u2019s retreat at midnight. <\/p>\n

The Concierto de Aranjuez<\/strong> is the most iconic work by Joaqu\u00edn Rodrigo, a native of Sagunt, to the point that it has overshadowed the rest of his body of work. Composed in Paris in 1939 but premiered in Barcelona in 1940, it is the first work for guitar and orchestra written by Rodrigo, and also the first work of its kind in Spain in the 20th century. Nevertheless, it displays a delicate use of the orchestra as accompaniment, with the guitar always clearly taking center stage. The second movement, with its dialogue between the English horn and the guitar, is a marvel of melancholy and beauty. With this work, we wish to pay tribute to Joaqu\u00edn Rodrigo on the 125th anniversary of his birth.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

“Capricho Espa\u00f1ol<\/strong>,” Op. 34, is a symphonic poem by the Russian composer Rimsky-Korsakov that premiered in 1887. Between 1862 and 1865, Rimsky-Korsakov traveled extensively as an officer in the Russian Navy, and he spent a few days in C\u00e1diz. The work, structured in five movements performed without pause, draws on Spanish folk material such as the Asturian Alborada and Fandango, which open and close the composition. It is one of his most acclaimed works for its brilliant orchestration\u2014note the extensive use of percussion!\u2014in which the violin plays such a prominent role that one might even call it a Fantasy for Violin and Orchestra.<\/p>\n
