A long-running festival which takes place in some of Barcelona's finest music venues, bringing some of the most famous exponents of guitar playing in the world to our doorstep. A welcome annual event. 2010 is the 21st edition.

 

A festival of questionable quality since it's run by the denzines of imported and factory manufactured chart topping pop, 40 Principales. We recommend you avoid, but we know some of you won't... Performing, we believe, though trying to find information on their website is nigh on impossible: Mcfly, Kate Ryan, Manuel Carrasco, Zenttric, María Villalón, Manuel Carrasco, Efecto Mariposa, Amaia Montero, Georgina

 

Presentation of the new album

 

 

 

The last of Rachmaninov's concerts performed by Andsnes, one of the most outstanding pianists of the time. A work written between France and the United States, where the author settled after escaping from the Russian Revolution, Rachmaninov's fourth is influenced by the music with which the composer was beginning to become familiarised in the West. Also in the United States, Stravinsky created Dumbarton Oaks, inspired in Bach's Brandenburg concerts but absolutely original. And so we find a romantic Rachmaninov carefully approaching modernity, and the renewing Stravinsky looking at the past. The programme is completed by a personal, fascinating and justly popular Prokofiev.
