BOCCHERINI - Fandango (arr. for symphony orch.)

BOCCHERINI: FANDANGO from Guitar Quintet in D
Madrid Symphony Orchestra conducted by Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos

(Scenes from Spanish Dance from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake; Information below by Wikipedia)

Luigi Rodolfo Boccherini (February 19, 1743 May 28, 1805) was an Italian classical era composer and cellist whose music retained a courtly and galante style while he matured somewhat apart from the major European musical centers. Boccherini is most widely known for one particular minuet from his String Quintet in E, Op. 11, No. 5 (G 275), and the Cello Concerto in B flat major (G 482). This last work was long known in the heavily altered version by German cellist and prolific arranger Friedrich Grützmacher, but has recently been restored to its original version. His music was clearly influenced by the Spanish and Mediterranean style in that he composed several quintets for guitar.

@hurluby

Thank you.

@hurluby They are all taken by Swan Lake productions!!! Even the first!

[hurluby]

@nni9310 They almost all are from different productions of Swan Lake. I recognize NY City Ballet and the Kirov Ballet. The only dance that might not be Swan Lake is the very first couple, dancing in front of a banquet table. They seem to be Spanish, dancing in the style known as Escuela Bolera.

Brilliantly constructed video ensimon. Why the Madrid Symphony Orchestra's version is not still available is beyond me it's superlative.

If you can, I would ask if you could list each of the ballet productions shown in the video.

Each of them is very well done.
