Finnish Baroque Orchestra: ¿Spain?

¿Spain? - Mediterranean tastes with Nordic influences

Joseph Haydn (1732–1809) had diverse connections to the Iberian peninsula. The composer was also an avid businessman, and he sold manuscript copies to Spain, where the music publishing business hadn’t really yet started. 

Antti Auvinen is a well-known Finnish contemporary composer. For him, it was an intriguing challenge to arrange his guitar concerto Andalusian Panzerwagen Jazz (2021/2023) for baroque orchestra. The quick-witted music progresses through many sonic landscapes, from hissing playfulness to glass-like vividness. 

Luigi Boccherini (1743–1805) was born in a Tuscan family of artists but lived in the vicinity of Madrid for most of his career. Boccherini’s Guitar Quintet No. 4 (1798) begins with a pastorale and ends with a jovial Spanish fandango dance.
