About

Still a neglected work, Julián Orbón’s Partita No. 4 for piano and orchestra is one of the most important piano and orchestra works from the Spanish repertoire, and receives here a superb performance from Noelia Rodiles and the Oviedo Filarmonía under Lucas Macías’ baton. The album is completed with the first recording of Manuel Martínez Burgos’ concerto for piano and orchestra, ‘Cloches’. Based on the expressive possibilities of bells, and composed after the spectral analysis of different bells from all over Europe, ‘Cloches’ proposes a spiritual and magical voyage that ends with a frenetic and exciting movement, an exuberant and brilliantly scored finale for a fantastic album!
