蜜芽传媒

Presented by Martin Handley.

From the Barbican Centre in London, the 蜜芽传媒 Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Josep Pons, with repertoire evoking Spain and South America. The concert opens in an Argentinean sugar-cane farm with Dances from Estancia, energetic ballet music by Alberto Ginastera; then it's nature's turn as tango master Astor Piazzolla pays homage to the Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the Andes in a concerto for bandoneon and orchestra -with Pablo Maineti the soloist. Manuel de Falla's colourful orchestral palette comes next with two highly descriptive pieces, Nights in the Gardens of Spain and The Three Cornered Hat - Suite No. 2.
