Ahmed Alom plays Manuel de Falla's Cancion
Ahmed Alom’s rendition of Manuel de Falla’s Canción is a remarkable display of elegance and musicality. Although Canción may not be as well-known as some of Falla’s other works, Alom’s interpretation brings it to life with exquisite delicacy and precision. His expert touch and nuanced phrasing create a listening experience that is truly captivating, bringing out its beauty in a way that is both distinctive and enduring, hidden within this minimalist gem.
About Canción music critic George Grella wrote: “He [Falla] is perhaps the most important 20th century Spanish composer, and the aching elegance and simplicity of his “Canción” is a distillation of his art. Everything is just right, nothing is wasted nor excessive, with a minimum of materials, gestures, and even duration, it creates an entire world that is intense and unreachable, the unbridgeable distance adding to the power of the music.”
