Prieto Conducts Ravel, Rodrigo, & Falla

Vail Recreation District Sports Department - Ford Park

A Spanish travelogue via three of Iberia’s finest composers. First, Isaac Albéniz offers up loving portraits of Spain’s grand old cities, in music evoking their beauty and mystery. Joaquín Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez (familiar to Miles Davis fans) is a guitar concerto of deeply felt expression and sparkling colors. Finally, Manuel de Falla’s music to the ballet-pantomime The Three-Cornered Hat brings a cosmopolitan sensibility to a classic Spanish tale.

Día De Los Muertos

A trio of influencers had hands in creating the Three-Cornered Hat — the impresario Sergei Deaghilev, Pablo Picasso and composer Manuel de Falla. De Falla’s ballet score stands apart, setting a lighthearted story (a love triangle) to dances full to the brim with Spanish flair and castanets. Gabriela Ortiz’s Téenek transcends place and time, and pianist Francesco Piemontesi joins the CSO for Beethoven’s gentle and poetic Piano Concerto No. 4
