If your knowledge of 20C Spanish composers fades at de Falla then this concert will add two more names to your list. Your guides will be Javier Montañana – violin, Hannah Lewis – cello, and Cesar Saura - piano. Hannah hails from Watford, but Javier and Cesar come from a bit further south, from Spain, so who better to introduce you to Arbós and Turina.
Enrique Fernández Arbós was a violinist, concertmaster, and a composer, from Madrid. One of his best known works is Tres Piezas Originales en Estilo Español which the Cygnus will play. Joaquín Turina like his friend de Falla came from Andalusia. He studied in Paris and got to know the music of Ravel, with whom he is paired in the Cygnus Trio’s CD ‘Impressions of Iberia’. You will hear the second of his two piano trios. After the flying visit to Spain, we return to the more familiar territory of Beethoven’s Archduke Trio.
