Stravinsky: Le Sacre du Printemps - Eötvös: Alhambra Concerto / Faust, Heras-Casado, Orchestre de Paris

The Spanish conductor delivers a very Gallic Rite of Spring, whilst Isabelle Faust is bewitched and bewitching on the world premiere recording of Péter Eötvös's 'Alhambra' Concerto.

REVIEW:

Heras-Casado and the Paris Orchestra offer a clear and piercing account of Stravinsky's rampaging milestone, showcasing a high degree of rhythmic control and technical perfection. The album also features a welcome recording of Peter Eotvos’s 2019 violin concerto Alhambra, a kaleidoscopic, ear-catching, playful affair inspired by the palace in Granada with Isabelle Faust’s fleet-footed violin chased at a distance by a ghostly mandolin.
