A Celebration of the Spanish Guitar brings warmth and colour to the Barbican in a concert with Andalucia at its heart. In music inspired by tradition and suffused with lyrical melody, the lustrous tone and rhythmic energy of the guitar capture the sounds and sensuality of Spain in a way no other instrument can.
The heart of the concert is one of the world’s most popular concertos: Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez, a creative fusion of folksongs influences and imaginative orchestration. Rodrigo’s Fantasia para un gentilhombre gives 17th-century themes a fresh and inventive twist, with Torroba’s lively Sonatina, Bacarisse’s Sonatina and dramatic excerpts from Bizet’s Carmen completing the programme.
Soloist Rolando Saad interprets these Spanish flavoured themes with his renowned mastery of the guitar and virtuoso performance technique.
