Chabrier's España

Sara Mohr-Pietsch traces a path through the Andalusian countryside towards Chabrier's España.

Sara Mohr-Pietsch traces a path through the Andalusian countryside towards Chabrier's España, one of the very few orchestral works written by the composer. Along the way, she encounters music which might have inspired Chabrier on his trip to the Spanish region in 1883, together with other works that capture folk song and dance.

Producer: Ben Collingwood.
