Basque National Orchestra

The prestigious classical music magazine has singled out the Basque National Orchestra in its January issue, awarding it a recognition that no other Spanish orchestra had received until now.

The Basque National Orchestra has recorded four new highly-relevant albums that it adds to its vast recording collection: an album of orchestral works by Maurice Ravel; a selection of works by little-known but important American authors under the title 'Americascapes'; an album with traditional Basque works recorded with the Kalakan trio; and 'Gutizia', which puts the 'txistu' centre stage with Garikoitz Mendizabal.

All of the albums are on sale at retailers and on the usual digital platforms.

Invited to give three concerts at the prestigious Grosses Festspielhaus in Salzburg on 15, 16 and 17 December, the Basque National Orchestra has decided to cancel its trip due to the current situation caused by Covid and a possible extension of restrictions in Austria. Right now, the entire population is in lockdown, in principle, until 13 December.
