Coinciding with the hundredth anniversary of the premiere of La Vida Breve in Nice (France), 2013 is the year of the launch of the second album of the trilogy that Cañizares has dedicated to Manuel de Falla’s music. On this occasion, he has chosen two dances from La Vida Breve and several pieces created by the Cadiz-born composer for piano.
Within the wide range of his compositions, La Vida Breve is particularly important for the flamenco guitarist, who has collaborated with orchestras and played this piece live, surrounded by the orchestral sound. Cañizares experienced the grandeur of this composition, feeling its vibrant and subtle nuances. This experience unquestionably encouraged him to investigate its most hidden corners, attempting to reflect them in this complex transcription.
