Highlights of the programmed Hispanic works include the colourful “Danzas Fantásticas” (Fantastic Dances) by Turina, which premiered one hundred years ago with three dance types: a jota, a zortziko and a farruca. With regard to Latin American music, apart from Gershwin’s hugely popular Cuban Overture, the characteristic rhythms of samba shine brightly, running high and low through the work by Hudson Nogueira, a direct and intense provocation to get your hips and the rest of your body moving.
