De Falla / Kushpler,Z. / Kushpler,O. - Canciones Espanolas - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The piano works of the Spanish pianist and composer Antonio Ruiz-Pipo, which GENUIN presents on a new , are a real discovery. The superb French pianist Ali Hirèche brings three world premiere recordings of the Granada-born composer, combining them with works by Ruiz-Pipo's admired compatriots Mompou and de Falla. The flawless playing of the young pianist let's us marvel at the ingenuity, the audacity, the bright colors of this music - which. In it's austerity and the questions it poses, makes us hear another Spain far removed from any tourist clichés. Born in Paris in 1976, Ali Hireche began studying music with the composer featured on this - Antonio Ruiz-Pipo. By the age of 15 he moved to Italy to continue his musical journey at the Milan InchConservatorio Giuseppe Verdi. He began performing both in recitals and as a soloist with orchestras across Italy, and went on to win several awards including the Concorso Internazionale Rovere D'Oro, the Premio della Critica al Concorso Europeo di Taranto, and more.

La vida breve is the first great work by Manuel de Falla, not only on account of the brilliance of his achievement, but also because in this score the powerful musical personality of the composer shines through. It introduces an orchestral scope that was previously unheard of in Hispanic musical theatre; there are direct references to folklore; there is the very remarkable role of the choir, and the incredible ability to evoke the magic of the Albaicín in Granada. The idea of the story came to Falla when he read, in the periodical Blanco y Negro, a short poem of clear social content, written by Carlos Fernández-Shaw, which would become the heart of the libretto. 'I am filled with emotion at the prospect of releasing this disc, because for all Spanish conductors Manuel de Falla's La vida breve is the highpoint of Spanish opera and a fundamental work in our repertoire.'

This latest album by Ignacio Lusardi Monteverde unearths the historical influences and musical interactions of various cultures, and their effects on the numerous toques heard in flamenco today. Within his own avant-garde compositions, inspired by his travels around the Andalusian provinces, India and the Middle-East, Ignacio embraces the original modes, melodic phrases, specific tempos and rhythms that have been developed and passed down over the centuries.
