The Culture Show - connecting music to visual arts, literature, film and theatre while discovering the delights of these arts in different parts of the world, all the while building cultural exchanges that will connect us and enrich our lives.
This month we present a 4-part series exploring a country that has one of the largest cultural heritages in the world - Spain. My studio guest is the Consul General of Spain in Hong Kong and Macau, Mr. Miguel Aguirre de Cárcer.
In this episode we talk about film and arguably the most well known contemporary Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar. His “all-inclusive, anything-goes spirit, which celebrates all beings, emotions, and reasons…” is his appeal to a worldwide audience that has made him an Oscar-winning writer/director. We hear extracts from multi award-winning composer Alberto Iglesias' warm and passionate score to Pedro Almodóvar’s unforgettable film HABLE CON ELLA (TALK TO HER).
We talk Classical and about Cassadó and Casals, and hear the renowned cellist and pianist Blas Net in a historical recording of Cassadó’s Requiebros dedicated to Casals. It means flattery or compliment.
And we make connections to art and music and hear probably the most well-known piece from the suite Goyescas: Los Majos Enamorados (Goyaesques: the Majos in Love) by Granados - El Amor y la Muerte: Balada (‘Love and Death: Ballade’) inspired by the tenth of Goya’s Caprichos - a set of 80 prints in aquatint and etching. No. 10 depicts a maja holding a dying majo in her arms.

This month we present a 4-part series exploring a country that has one of the largest cultural heritages in the world - Spain. My studio guest is the Consul General of Spain in Hong Kong and Macau, Mr. Miguel Aguirre de Cárcer.
In this programme we begin by talking about one of Spain’s most well-known musical institutions, the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía and we will hear Liszt played by one of its noted alumni, Spanish pianist Juan Pérez Floristán. In 2015 he won the First and the Audience Prizes at the Paloma O'Shea Santander International Piano Competition. The recording comes from his Piano Laureate recital of 2016.
We also talk about one of Spain’s most prominent jazz festivals – Jazzaldia, and hear recordings of pianist Tete Montoliu. He worked with an array of leading jazzmen including Dexter Gordon, Archie Shepp, and Ben Webster. By the early 1960's, he was recognised as one of Europe's top jazz musicians. His playing is outstanding.

We begin the series by talking about the Spanish language. In global terms, it is the second most widely spoken mother tongue in the world in terms of number of speakers, and the third most widely used language on the internet. An alluring way to illustrate language is through song, and the vocal music of Spain is rich and varied. We will hear Rodrigo’s Cuatro madrigales amatorios. His daughter felt his love of literature, desire to use Spanish musical traditions, and appreciation of the human voice merged so that the true essence of his music is found in his vocal music.
We discuss literature and Cervantes. Many composers have turned to Cervantes’ masterpiece Don Quixote for inspiration. Rodrigo’s symphonic poem Ausencias de Dulcinea (Dulcinea’s Absence) is scored for four voices and orchestra, but it is a 1993/94 work of José García Roman that is featured – The Resurrection of Don Quixote. José García Roman was the founder and first director of the "Ciudad de Granada" Choir and a member of the artistic commission of the Granada International Music and Dance Festival and Advisor to the Musical Documentation Center of Andalusia. The work was composed in response to a commission from the Orquesta y Coro Nacionales de España.
