About This Item
Most of the works by the two Catalan composers heard here - Joan Manén (1883-1971) and Marc Migo (b. 1993) - use material from their folk tradition, making the music fresh, immediate and direct, rather in the manner of Manuel de Falla. But there is also a loose connection with Vienna Manén's Violin 'Concertino' - an unusually modest tag for a full-scale concerto - is something of a cousin to the Korngold Concerto; and Migó's poignant Epitafi a Hans Rott was written in memory of a short-lived Austrian composer who was a close friend of Mahler.
