The Instituto Cervantes Manchester, the Consulate General of Spain in Manchester, and the Fundación Klássica are delighted to present Pasión de Falla, an extraordinary piano recital by José Luis Nieto, paying tribute to one of Spain’s most iconic composers: Manuel de Falla.
This exclusive programme offers a unique and captivating experience—a monographic recital entirely dedicated to Falla’s music, featuring a major highlight: the premier of the complete piano transcription of the symphonic ballet El sombrero de tres picos, arranged by the pianist himself. With this performance, José Luis Nieto became the first artist to present a full piano version of this masterpiece.
As Falla was primarily a symphonic composer, a 90-minute piano recital dedicated solely to his music is a rare occasion. This makes the concert even more intriguing, not only for its unprecedented nature but also for the expressive depth that the piano brings to Falla’s repertoire.
This exceptional concert is a remarkable contribution to the preservation and promotion of Spain’s rich musical heritage, offering a fresh perspective on the work of one of the greatest masters of classical music.
