This legendary violinist and composer’s inspired works are enormously entertaining and irresistibly appealing, eloquently summarised by Adele as "works being a culmination of melody, violinistic idiom and elegance, often evocative of his native Spain". Gil rates him "as one of my great personal heroes. He was a meticulous composer; his style was always full of imagination, full of melody, always perfectly clean and concise. I love this guy."
Adele and Gil used the occasion of Sarasate’s centenary in 2008 to pay tribute to the revered master’s work. This included a concert at the Lincoln Center in New York (broadcast live on PBS in North America) and, to end the year’s festivities, ¡Sarasateada!, an all Sarasate Festival in Valladolid, in Sarasate’s native Spain.
¡Sarasateada! included both chamber and orchestral concerts from which this release is born, and this disc captures the expected and unexpected. A red blooded live performance of Carmen Fantasy, Zapateado, the raucous cowboy dance, and Zigeunerweisen - all works which have challenged violinists for decades and never fail to dazzle.
The unexpected works are some wonderful yet lesser known pieces - Song of the Nightingale and Airs Ecossais showing his compositional gift, "his diversity and imagination" as Adele puts it, with the disc concluding with a delightful and stratospheric duo Navarra, a folk song derived from Navarre in Spain.
