Description
�douard Lalo (1823-1892) wrote his SYMPHONIE ESPAGNOLE (also sometimes called his VIOLIN CONCERTO No. 2 as it is more a violin concerto than symphony), for the famed violinist Pablo Sarate in 1874. The great virtuoso had given the first performance of his violin concerto in the previous year. Premiered on February 7, 1875, in Paris, this SPANISH SYMPHONY reflected the occupation of French Romantic composers with Spanish musical culture. Lalo implements a 5-movement structure, tapping into his own Spanish heritage with oscillating two-and-three rhythms and folk dance brio.
