I. Allegro non troppo 02. II. Scherzando: Allegro molto 03. III. Intermezzo: Allegretto non torppo 04. IV. Andante 05. V. Rondo: Allegro Joan Manen 06. I. Allegretto ben moderato 07. II. Lamento - Adagio ma non troppo 08. III. Allegro molto • These two concertos - one a staple of the repertoire, the other almost unknown - share melodic richness and a Spanish influence. Lalo’s Symphonie espagnole reflects the quicksilver technique of its dedicatee, Pablo de Sarasate, in its ingenious and virtuosic passagework, with its moods and rhythms indelibly Iberian in feel. • Juan Manén, in his day almost as famous as his fellow Catalan Pau Casals, was an admired virtuoso violinist and a prominent composer. Hix Concierto español, the first of three violin concertos, is suffused with technical demands, lyric warmth, and rhapsodic nostalgia. Soloist Tianwa Yang’s Sarasate recordings have received international acclaim. DISTRIBUTED BY RELEASE DATE: 10/14/16 NAXOS OF AMERICA | NAXOS OF CANADA | NEW RELEASE 6
