Mirage: a Spanish Summer | Norfolk Chamber Consort, Andrey Kasparov, USA | 2015

I would have loved to have been at this performance in the USA - so beautifully performed.

Mirage is a reflection on a Spanish summer at various times of day.  The music is an image of events which, whilst not perhaps significant in themselves, together shape a lifestyle which necessarily revolves around the supremely hot weather.

A shimmering heat haze is a background to early morning walking, cycling and jogging on the seafront, mist rising on the water and the opening of beachside churingitas.  Later on, a juxtaposition of old and new Spain is characterised; late night flamenco, even English barbershop and most significantly, a lone accordionist playing outside in the evening whose melody drifts in and out and is never heard in its entirety.
