Sketches of Spain

Lansing Symphony Orchestra MasterWork Series 04

Immerse yourself in an evening of passion and color with violinist Chee-Yun, as we traverse the rich landscapes of Spanish and Spanish-influenced music. The night opens with Ravel's "Alborada del Gracioso," capturing the lively spirit of Spain. Chee-Yun excels in Lalo’s "Symphonie Espagnole," merging violin finesse with Spain’s vibrant heart, hinting at the French Romantic's Spanish allure. Marc Migó’s "The Ecstasy of St. Teresa" adds contemporary, mystical flair, while de Falla’s "El Sombrero de Tres Picos, Suite No. 2" offers folkloric richness. The climax is Ravel’s "Boléro," a piece that encapsulates Spain's hypnotic charm, concluding an evening of vivid musical landscapes.
