Les barques volen pel cel —Converses entre els germans Pau i Enric Casals

Four-hand piano programme and conversations between the brothers Pau and Enric Casals, featuring pieces by both and by composers such as Bach, C. P. E. Bach and Beethoven, marking the 150th anniversary of Pau Casals's birth.

The proposal brings together music for two pianos and dialogues between the brothers Pau and Enric Casals, marking the 150th anniversary of Pau Casals's birth. Jordi Lara and Xavier Albertí combine piano with acting on the stage of the Petit Palau, the calle Palau de la Música hall that mainly hosts classical music concerts.

The programme includes works by Pau Casals, among them Cançó de bressol, Preludi orgànic núm. 2, Sant Martí del Canigó in a version for two pianos and El cant dels ocells, as well as Josefina, by C. Casals. An excerpt from Enric Casals's Concerto for cello and orchestra, in transcription, is also heard.

The programme is completed with the "Adagio" from the second movement of Bach's Concerto for two keyboards in C major BWV 1061, an excerpt from the "Rondó espressivo" of C. P. E. Bach's Sonata in B minor W245, and the central theme of the last movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, in Franz Liszt's version for two pianos.
