Marie-Pierre Langlamet on the art of playing the harp Juanjo Mena makes his debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker
Juanjo Mena brought a Spanish and Latin American programme along for his debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker. While Claude Debussy in Ibéria conveys a dreamy summer image of Spain, Manuel de Falla’s ballet music The Three-Cornered Hat vibrates with Mediterranean energy. And then there’s the Argentinian Alberto Ginastera, whose harp concerto combines southern folklore with new sounds in an appealing way.
