Verdi for Starters with Some of the best Spanish music
Manuel Hernandez Silva, (Venezuela, Spain) conductor
Idit Zamir, soprano
The 25th concert series of the Israel Symphony Orchestra Rishon-LeZion (ISORL) the Israel Opera Orchestra marks the 200th anniversary of Giuseppe Verdi, the eternal Doyen of Italian Opera Composers. Every concert series starts with a work by Verdi.
The third series with an emphasis on Spanish music honors Verdi's "Don Carlos" and opera the plot of which takes place in Spain of the 16th century.
The more contemporary Spain will be manifested by two works by Manuel De-Falla. El Amor Brujo written with marked influence of the Gitaneria genre (pantomime-music-dance) to text by Gregorio Gimemz. The other work "Seven Popular Spanish Songs" (Siete canciones populares españolas) acts like a brochure or a poster presenting different regions in Spain like Asturias Aragon and others. Latin American music is represented by the "Redes" Suite written by Mexican Silvestre Revueltas, a serious orchestra work depicting the hard life of the Vera Cruz fishermen community. The concert ends with a lighter touch in Shostakovich: Symphony No. 9 a humoristic and touching work best described by Shostakovich himself: "It is a merry little piece. Musicians will love to play it, and critics will delight in blasting it." We in the orchestra love it…
Conductor Manuel Hernandez Silva was born in Venezuela and has been residing in Spain for quite some time. He conducts all over Spain, Germany and Latin America. He was the ISORL guest some three years ago for a single concert, and we are happy to have him again this time for 4 concerts in the stat-of-the-art concert hall with its unique acoustics Rishon LeZion, as well as a concert in the Ashkelon Heichal HaTarbut Auditorium.
Israeli operatic soprano Idit Zamir is the soloist in the series.
