It is not often that one is approached after a concert at the tram stop of the Unknown, to rave of the completely wrong addition of the soloists. But on Saturday, the soloist Pablo Sáinz Villegas was, and what he did in Francisco Tárrega called “Gran Jota” with his guitar, ecstatic and stunned the audience in a sustainable way.
Prior to that, he had played in the sold out Tonhalle Maag Joaquín Rodrigo’s “Concierto de Aranjuez”, a wish concert classics, so that is amazing appeared only a single Time in a concert hall program: in 1986, at a youth concert. Spanish Repertoire is the core business of Zurich.
But you can do it, which they showed after the interval, Manuel de Falla’s ballet Suite “El sombrero de tres picos” of 1919. The “Olé”- Call in the introduction, in the de Falla, the Parisian audience a whole series of Spain for the sake of abhakte clichés, seemed to feel Individual, although to some extent uncomfortable. But that was over as soon as the instruments were used.
Alondra de la Parra knew to pick up the musicians to. The 39-year-old Mexican is one of the most successful among the younger conductor inside; and to those who fight the most decided, when placed in the decorative corner. As an Interviewer once remarked, your style of acting “almost like Dancing”, came the reply in any case clear: you don’t dance, they lead.
the toe-tapping is not enough
Here, in de Falla’s Suite, was enough for the elegant toe-tapping actually: too many tempo changes, complicated Transitions. But the music, the dance should be – and in this performance, she did it as momentum – as art.
Alondra de la Parra lured orchestra, soloists from the Reserve, pooled energies, and showed in every bar, how much is this music. If she did that sometimes, in fact, on dancer way, then this was not the Show, but the precise placement of sound ideas.
There was then an encore, and Arturo Márquez’ “Danzón No. 2”. And even without a guitarist, it was enough for a Standing Ovation.
Also in Paris, was Alondra de la Parra Márquez’ “Danzón No. 2” as an encore, play. Video: Youtube
