Description: Balada’s series of Caprichos, suite-like pieces illustrate the range of his invention. Fusing traditional and contemporary elements, they generate a symbiosis between the ethnic and the avant-garde, as in No. 7, a 23-minute piece from 2009 in which an Andalusian folk melody is transformed into a surrealist canvas, and in the vividly descriptive dissonance of No. 6 from the same year. Ballet City is a youthful work (1959/2013), reflecting Balada’s early enthusiasm for neo-classicism. Luis Fernández-Castelló (clarinet), Pere Joan Carrascosa (cello), Marcos Sanjuan (violin), Joan Sureda, Óscar Oliver (piano), Ensemble Col legno; Robert Ferrer.
