This release is dedicated to the pioneer of Italian modernism Luciano Berio. His 5-movement ‘Sinfonia’, is undoubtedly his most well-known work, written for the New York Philharmonic and dedicated to Leonard Bernstein. It has become one of the key works and principle musical manifestations of the 1960s bringing together collage technique and modernism.
A few years later, Berio went on to orchestrate a number of songs on texts from ‘Des Knaben Wunderhorn’, which Mahler had scored for piano and voice, as if they had been written at the time of the later ‘Kindertotenlieder’. A symphonic backcloth tailor-made for the great baritone voice of Matthias Goerne [whose ‘Knaben Wunderhorn’ songs are already available on DVD, with Andris Nelsons, from Lucerne]. His warm, dark voice allows him to capture the sombre and tragic atmosphere of this music like no one else.

The performance of Bernd Alois Zimmermann’s Concerto for trumpet and orchestra, one of the album’s key works, in 2011 bestowed Blanco the first prize in the prestigious ARD International Competition in Munich. Since then Manuel combines his solo career with his solo trumpet position in the National Orchestra.

Granados’s famous opera Goyescas, first performed at the Metropolitan Opera in New York in 1916, derives from the piano suite premiered in Paris two years previously. At the head of a BBC SO in top form and a handpicked cast, Josep Pons clearly much enjoyed conducting this sparkling new production in London: many scenes in the opera draw their inspiration directly from paintings by Goya, which listeners will also have the pleasure of finding in the booklet of this rare and precious album.
