About

The album Falla 1915 offers us the opportunity to experience a composer reborn through two of his masterpieces. In Siete canciones populares españolas, the orchestral imagination of composer Francisco Domínguez enriches the original piano accompaniment without losing any folkloric substance. The first version of El amor brujo rediscovers a title that was created to be much more jondo (deeper), rawer and with more gypsy soul than the ballet it later became. Passion and spirit, sensuality and colour come together to highlight what Falla loved and defended most: the preservation of our memory and our cultural heritage.

As the cantaora (flamenco singer) María Toledo who has performed Falla’s El amor brujo (Love, the Magician) most often, her collaboration with BilbaoSinfonietta enables her to sparkle and offer new nuances to a work she knows intimately. Critics have praised her ability to give flexibility to the depth of flamenco singing without betraying its essence, in a career that has been endorsed by several Latin Grammy nominations and awards such as the Noble Prize at the international Cante de Las Minas festival and First Prize at the Flamenco Biennial in Cádiz.

BilbaoSinfonietta is a versatile and highly flexible chamber orchestra capable of embracing classical-contemporary music in different contexts with a clear aim: to reach the heart of today’s cultural scene through coherent and daring renditions. BilbaoSinfonietta comprises instrumentalists with a long and distinguished track record who endorse the talent of this energetic and strong ensemble.

Iker Sánchez Silva, musical director of the opera company Opus Lírica and artistic director of BilbaoSinfonietta, he has been the guest of prestigious international formations, assistant conductor at the Bilbao Symphony Orchestra, and in 2020, he was nominated for the Opera XXI Awards.
