This concert begins with a long overdue correction: Cielo bajo, by Spanish composer Rosa García Ascot, who was the only woman in the famed Group of Eight, as well as a direct disciple of Manuel de Falla. Refined and poetic, her music is a rare gem among 20th-century Spanish art that is at last receiving the recognition it deserves.
Mozart’s Concerto for Flute, Harp, and Orchestra, interpreted by soloists Clara Andrada and Magdalena Hofmann, serves as a connecting element, evoking sensations of light, balance and classic elegance.
The programme concludes with Richard Strauss’s Don Juan and Death and Transfiguration.
Don Juan redefines the symphonic poem with powerful orchestration and virtuosic composition that bring to mind the legendary seducer’s vital force and search for meaning. In contrast, Death and Transfiguration is an intense reflection on the end of life and redemption through art, with expanded orchestration that breathes and swells in each section. These works continue with the theme of Strauss’s great symphonic poems, introduced earlier in the season. Strauss was among the most visionary and audacious artists in the history of symphonism.
