DESCRIPTION:Márquez Danzón No.2 \nCasals arr Brown ‘Song of the Bir
 ds’ \n    Soloist Alice McVeigh\nDebussy ‘Ibéria’ from ‘Imag
 es’ \nDe Falla ‘Nights in the Garden of Spain’ \n    Soloist C
 atherine Borner\nRavel ‘Boléro’ \nSexy\, sassy and Latin American\,
  Márquez’s Danzón No. 2 is followed by a Spanish folk miniature for so
 lo cello and orchestra. Then we get into the meat of the concert. Debussy
 ’s ‘Ibéria’ – impressionistic and evocative – reminds us of his
  comment: ‘Music is as boundless as the elements\, the wind\, the sky\, 
 the sea... ’ De Falla himself acknowledged Debussy’s achievement: ‘t
 he intoxicating spell of Andalusian nights\, the joyous strains of guitars
  and bandurrias\, whirls in the air!’ De Falla’s own Nights in the Gar
 dens of Spain follows (‘the most tragic and sorrowful of his works\, exp
 ressing an intimate and passionate drama.’) Catherine Borner's piano sol
 os are woven within a flamboyant orchestral texture. We conclude with Rave
 l’s iconic Boléro – by far his most famous work.(At its premiere\, a 
 woman furiously objected that Ravel must be mad. Ravel’s comment? ‘She
  has understood the piece!’) A barn-storming finale!\nA good quality vi
 deo of this concert exists (all 5 pieces\, no announcements\, 74 minutes a
 pprox)\, recorded in high definition using three cameras and edited by Chr
 is Beston. DVDs (standard definition\, £8) and Blu-ray discs (high defin
 ition\, £12) are for sale in the foyer on concert days or can be ordered
  through our contact page.\nMárquez - Danzón No.2\nCasals - Song of
