Homenatge a Albéniz

Sala 1 Pau Casals in Barcelona hosts the programme Homenatge a Albéniz, performed under the direction of BMB Virginia Martínez.

This musical proposal focuses on Isaac Albéniz, one of the foundational composers of Spanish musical nationalism and the author of key works for piano that have been adapted for various orchestral line-ups. His compositional legacy is notable for incorporating elements of Andalusian and Spanish folklore within a piano technique of great demand and sophistication.

On stage, the conducting is in the hands of Virginia Martínez at the head of the ensemble, tackling a repertoire that carries the harmonic and descriptive richness of the original piano into the symphonic instrumental palette. The concert offers a detailed reading of these scores, allowing the listener to appreciate the depth of the composer's musical language.

This cultural event is aimed at audiences interested in symphonic classical music and the Spanish historicist repertoire. Sala 1 Pau Casals provides an acoustic setting suited to this kind of orchestral ensemble, allowing detailed listening in a sober atmosphere focused on musical performance.
