Concerto
Omaggio to Franz Liszt by
Manuel Blancafort, for
piano and orchestra. It
is the first work that
the composer undertook
after the blow that
supposed the Spanish
civil war. In words of
the same Blancafort,
Finished the war, my
first composition, once
installed in Sarria, was
the Omaggio Concert,
finished and released in
1944. It is the most
spectacular success in
situ that has obtained a
work of mine .
The
work was released day 1
of December of the 1944
by Maria Canals (piano)
and the Barcelona
Municipal Orchestra,
conducted by Eduard
Toldra. The composer and
music critic Xavier
Montsalvatge wrote in La
Vanguardia: Blancafort,
unconsciously, has been
surrended by melody
avoiding preciosities,
giving free rein to the
sincerity and to the
simplicity of his
feelings, and has created
this magnificent concert,
in which subjects and
harmonization are
impregnated of a deep
elegance.
It
requires a group of
complete symphony
orchestra with soloist
piano and it is 40
minutes long.
