Fantasy Of Dances

Famous for his fiery forceful and passionate playing Spanish violinist Pablo de Sarasate (1844 1908) was equally renowned for the sweetness and purity of his tone and his impeccable technique. His works are steeped in the colorful traditions of his native land drawing upon Spanish airs and dances to display the depth and richness of the violin's capabilities. This practice and performance edition with a separate removable violin part contains three of the composer's best and most challenging pieces for violin and piano: Zigeunerweisen (Gypsy Airs); Carmen Fantasy Op. 25 based on the opera by George Bizet; and the exhilaratingIntroduction and Tarantella. Reproduced from authoritative editions these works are essential to the repertoire of all serious violinists.

Fantasía Sinfónica-Vents Catalans (Catalan Winds) is a symphonic fantasy which while it does no directly reference any melody or song from Catalonian folk music still manages to convey all the life beauty and energy of this charming region in southern Spain. After a triumphant and majestic introduction reminiscent of folksongs and lively dances the mood calms down with an elegant yet playful melody followed by the Sardana the traditional Catalonian dance par excellence.

Inspired by folklore of the Samodivi (Woodland Fairies) in Slavic myths Soon Hee Newbold has written a piece reminiscent of traditional folk dances with a fantasy flair. A perfect change of pace for any concert Dance of the Samodivi will remind listeners of enchanted forests and favorite fairytales. Like many Newbold pieces each instrument has vital roles in this mythical adventure!
