Following its acclaimed Linn debut recording, Copland & Chávez: Pan-American Reflections, The Orchestra of the Americas releases its sophomore album with its Music Director, Carlos Miguel Prieto. Prieto is joined by fellow Mexican and celebrated pianist Jorge Federico Osorio, who brings his superb musicianship, powerful technique, vibrant imagination and deep passion to this all-Spanish programme. Osorio is the soloist in Falla's highly atmospheric piano concerto, Nights in the Gardens of Spain, a set of symphonic impressions which conjures up the enticing sounds and scents of a summer's evening. Conductor and pianist received critical acclaim following their performance of this work in Ireland: 'Prieto elicited a diaphanous palette of colours [and] as Osorio's arpeggios shimmered up and down the piano we were magnetically drawn into this highly evocative world full of lush sounds and sensuous possibilities' (BachTrack). Falla's masterpiece The Three-Cornered Hat is both vibrant and colourful and showcases the 'superb precision' of The Orchestra of the Americas. Falla's finely crafted and meticulous work ensures that the piece's folklore-based melodies are consistently accompanied by exquisite background music. The programme is completed by the Interlude & Dance from Falla's La vida breve and the well-known Intermezzo from Granados' Goyescas.
