Roberto Sierra Fandangos
Elgar Cello Concerto
Rachmaninov Symphonic Dances
From Dublin’s twin city comes the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic with its
Chief Conductor Domingo Hindoyan and exceptional cellist Guy Johnston
for Elgar’s bleak but beautiful Cello Concerto, an emotion-filled high-
watermark of modern English music.
Dance dominates Roberto Sierra’s Fandangos in a set of vibrant orchestral
variations with distinctive Spanish trumpets and castanets to the fore.
Quoting from several of his major works, Rachmaninov’s leave-taking
Symphonic Dances wrestles with death in music put through the emotional
wringer.
