About

Spanish violinist Francisco Fullana returns to Orchid Classics with a recital of Spanish music for violin and piano. Described as ‘an amazing talent’ by Gustavo Dudamel, Fullana has a natural affinity with this repertoire, which includes dazzling virtuoso pieces by the great violinist-composer Pablo de Sarasate, as well as the evocative ‘Sonata Española’ by Joaquín Turina.

The recital also features works by several composers from the Catalan region: Enrique Granados, Eduardo Toldrà and Joan Manén, all of whom subtly combine characteristic Catalan folk styles with harmonic influences from France.

I love the sense of light and space which the puckish Spanish violinist brings to this recital of music from his homeland - there's a fundamental sweetness to Fullana's tone which never crosses the line into sentimentality, and his willingness to step off the gas where others might be tempted to drive the sound too hard makes even the more familiar pieces sound fresh as paint. Sarasate's obstacle-course of left-hand pizzicati, harmonics and triple-stops is dashed off with insouciance, and Joan Manén's Catalan Caprice is a great find.
