Performance of “Spain” by Chick Corea
Soloists:
Irina Irianova (piano)
Olga Putkova (flute)
Irina Irianova's performance of the classical fusion-jazz ballad “Spain” by Chick Corea will be the highlight of our concert.
“Spain” is a classic example of mixing jazz improvisation and Southern European musical traditions. There is a large variety of performing variations of this masterpiece. The duet of Irina Irianova (piano) and Olga Putkova (flute) offers an unconventional take on this musical work. Their delicate interpretation of “Spain” expands the stylistic palette of possibilities for the performance of this musical piece. Each familiar fragment of Spain is performed in a new light: a minimalistic mood turns into passionate impressionism, and Spanish musical motifs acquire Western and Scandinavian moods. Irina Irianovas's piano part occupies a special place in this performance. The piano part sets out to blend the accompaniment and solo fragments of the performance. This complex effect is achieved through musical noise imitation and sharp jumps in the volume level. The musician deliberately refuses to just play the notes, instead, she consciously creates musical landscapes.
