Every great composer inherits a spark. Some preserve it; others transform it into something entirely their own. In Borrowed Fire, Aleksey Shadrin, Yibai Chen and David Cohen journey through music shaped by the unique sounds, rhythms and traditions of Italy, Hungary, Romania and Spain\u2014reimagined by some of the twentieth century\u2019s most distinctive musical voices.
\nStravinsky transforms music attributed to Pergolesi with wit and brilliance; Bart\u00f3k turns the raw energy of folk music into exhilarating concert works; and Ravel evokes Spain through the hypnotic sway of the Habanera. The journey then moves south with de Falla\u2019s passionate Spanish songs before culminating in the dazzling virtuosity of Catalan cellist-composer Gaspar Cassad\u00f3\u2019s Requiebros. From intimate melodies to irresistible dances and fiery virtuosity, this recital reveals how music can cross borders and generations, continually finding new life in the hands of the next artist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
