The Spanish tradition of flamenco music, by way of Paco Peña and Paco de Lucia, has significantly influenced the classical music world. Composer and pianist Lionel Sainsbury explores the fiery passion and harmonic tension of flamenco on his latest Navona Records release, Andalusian Fantasy. "It has been described as containing 'the brilliance of the guitar playing, the haunting laments of the singers, and the electrifying rhythms of the dancers.' It's that triumvirate, and it's incredible complexity that appeals to me - that dark passion, almost a blackness, or duende, a wonderful, untranslatable Spanish word that combines nostalgia and suffering." (Lionel Sainsbury) The album also includes Nocturne, South American Suite, and Twelve Preludes, elaborately reflecting his classical, jazz and blues influences, honoring the styles and works of Chopin, Rachmaninov, Gershwin, Ravel, Scriabin, and more.
