The Basque National Orchestra presents ‘Americascapes’, the second recording under the direction of Robert Trevino and the Ondine label
The new album published by the Ondine (Naxos Group) label and titled ‘Americascapes’ was released internationally this week. Under the direction of Robert Trevino, this new album recording focuses on four not very widely-known American authors —Loeffler, Ruggles, Hanson and Cowell— and will be on sale from 1 October.
The first recording of this series was dedicated to the symphonic works by Maurice Ravel and is having an extraordinary reception in specialised media across the international scene.
21/22 Season: Optimism, discovery, and inspiring music
The recovery of artists and musical works that had been scheduled a year ago, the discovery of a lot of inspiring music, and the reaffirmation of our important role in Basque society are the main features of this new concert Season.
To help with this goal, we will see established figures such as Pinchas Steinberg, Pinchas Zukerman, Pietari Inkinen, Mei-Ann Chen, Varvara, Yulianna Avdeeva, and Dmitri Makhtin passing through our auditoriums. We will welcome great artists from our land, such as Ainhoa Arteta, Asier Polo, the Orfeón Donostiarra Choir, and the Orfeón Pamplonés Choir.
