These two works by Manuel de Falla are well known and deservedly popular, but the critically acclaimed New York chamber group Perspectives Ensemble here offers a fresh pairing of Falla’s El amor brujo in its original 1915 version, featuring renowned flamenco cantaora Esperanza Fernández – this work being much more frequently performed and recorded in its 1925 instrumental ballet version. This is coupled with the composer’s delightful one-act opera El retablo de Maese Pedro (Master Peter’s Puppet Show), based on an ‘adventure within an adventure’ scene from Cervantes’s beloved novel Don Quixote.
The acclaimed Perspectives Ensemble was founded in 1993 and creates concerts and recordings that feature the works of living composers and historic figures, shedding new light on their work through explorations of their music in the context of their time and place. Their recording of Xavier Montsalvatge’s Madrigal (8573101) was admired for its ‘searing emotion’ by the American Record Guide, for ‘intriguing repertoire and outstanding performances’ by Opera News, and The New York Times adding that ‘you couldn’t ask for a better introduction to [Montsalvatge’s] elegant, refined and piquant oeuvre than this vibrant collection by New York City’s Perspectives Ensemble.’
Sato Moughalian, artistic director and flautist of Perspectives Ensemble, performs with a wide variety of ensembles in the US and abroad, and has recorded more than 30 chamber music albums.
