Noche de Fuego

For its first recording project, ‘Cuando el fuego abrasa’ (When the fire burns), the Ensemble Bayona presents the hallmarks of the group’s identity: the fruitful and close Spanish-Swiss collaboration and the promotion and dissemination of music from the early 20th century. That is why the works of contemporary composers Francisco Coll (Spain) and Christoph Blum (Switzerland) are coupled with two works from the beginning of the last century: El amor brujo by Manuel de Falla (arranged for quintet and cantaora by José Luis Turina) and in collaboration with the University of Lausanne, a historical recovery of the Quintet on Swiss Themes by Joseph Lauber. Superb ensemble playing and intense performances provide the opportunity to discover this deeply engaging works!

Regarded as the greatest Spanish composer of the twentieth century, Manuel de Falla (1876-1946) developed an interest in native Spanish music - in particular Andalusian flamenco - while studying with Felipe Pedrell in Madrid in the late 1890s. From 1907 to 1914 he lived in Paris where he met, and was influenced by, Ravel, Debussy and Dukas. Together with his compatriots Isaac Albéniz and Enrique Granados he established the Spanish national school, integrating the rich Spanish folklore and music tradition in their own personal language.

For 50 years he directed an orchestra that was second-rate in tone and technique, yet Ernest Ansermet drew performances from it that cut right to the heart of the music. A musician of catholic taste, Ansermet was a reliable, insightful interpreter of composers from Mozart to Martin. His recordings in the 1950s and 1960s with the Suisse Romande Orchestra, which he founded, retain strong interest for collectors who value nuance over tonal sheen. These recordings are of especial interest as they provide a link to composers active in Paris in the early twentieth century, with whom Ansermet was closely associated.

The former lead singer of La Barberia del Sur and Sabicas, Enrique Morente set the pace for modern flamenco experimentalism as a soloist, with an affinity for lyrics written by modern and classic poets. Morente's album Cantando a Federico García Lorca y Leonard Cohen, recorded with Lagartija Nick, applied the sounds of flamenco to the words of Spanish poet Lorca and Canadian poet Cohen. Morente's vocals were sometimes accompanied by a series of Andalucian orchestras from Morocco. The singer died at age 67 in December 2010 after lapsing into a coma following an ulcer operation.
