Falla: La vida breve, G. 35
Jesús López-Cobos Essentials
Apple Music Classical
As conductor for the Deutsche Oper Berlin, Orquesta Nacional de España and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra—where he was conductor emeritus up to his death in 2018—Jesús López-Cobos was known for his colourful repertoire. He shone especially in music from his native Spain, in works like Manuel de Falla's rich La vida breve and Turina's vibrant Canto a Sevilla, sung expressively here by Pilar Lorengar. López-Cobos also provides a solid framework for violinist Itzhak Perlman's lyrically tender take on Max Bruch's high-stepping Scottish Fantasy.
