Especially because of the Polonaise and Badinierie which will be instantly recognisable, but before we get to them there is so much music beforehand. Bach has written a playful interplay between the flute and the ensemble in order to emphasise where the main moments of important melodic interest are. It can feel quite overwhelming to be playing unison with the violins but it does make the contrast quite noticeable when the flute has the melody to itself, emerging from the thicker texture to float above the strings.’ 5 Sir Andrew Davis’ highly anticipated return to Here, the Orchestra and Chorus perform Vaughan Melbourne delighted critics, with The Australian Williams’ Serenade to Music.

  • Focus Festival
    FOCUS 2021 FESTIVAL FOCUS EXPLORANDO LOS CINCUENTA LOS EXPLORANDO FESTIVAL EXPLORANDO LOS CINCUENTA EL DESPERTAR DE LA MÚSICA ESPAÑOLA El Focus Festival nace queriendo convertirse en un espacio singular dentro de la programación habitual de la Orquesta y Coro Nacionales de España: un lugar desde donde llamar la atención sobre un argumento concreto, proponer una escucha activa a partir de determinadas referencias o enfatizar el sentido integrador de la música cuando se percibe como fenómeno social. La prime- ra edición que ahora se presenta caminará «Explorando los cincuenta. El des- pertar de la música española», con el fin de acercarse a la vida musical de una década fundamental en la configuración de la modernidad artística española, un momento relevante en la consolidación de la cultura como espacio de libertad personal. Ya entonces la palabra festival implicaba un sentido de excepcionali- dad. La propia Orquesta Nacional, protagonista indiscutible en aquellos años bajo la dirección artística de Ataúlfo Argenta, la utilizó para definir algunos conciertos que siguen recordándose por su sentido referencial: el Festival Hindemith y el Festival Stravinski, que permitieron además la estancia en Es- paña de autores considerados entonces modelo de futuro. El Focus Festival los tiene presentes como fondo a la interpretación de la música española coe- tánea, incluyendo la de Cristóbal Halffter, Luis de Pablo, Antón García Abril y Juan Hidalgo. Ellos encarnan la audacia y altura de miras de una generación que se comprometió estéticamente, con alcance en ámbitos como la litera- tura, el cine y las artes plásticas. Muchos de ellos todavía están entre nosotros; son nonagenarios y su presencia es ejemplo de constancia y superación.
