A type of life clearly frescoed in La vida breve, a picturesque opera by Manuel de Falla, which sets the beginning of the second act in a small street near a courtyard where Paco and Carmela's wedding takes place on the brilliant notes of the Spanish Dance, which opens this symphonic program.
The same Andalusian echoes of Noches en los jardines de España for piano and orchestra, impressions, paintings that evoke Iberian places, sensations and feelings. If we get burned by the torrid Andalusian boil, don't worry. A breath of icy air refreshes us with Sibelius' Symphony No. 2, truly a sound manifesto of Finnish culture.
