The Galician composer Eduardo Soutullo - National Music Prize in 2023 - opens the concert with All the echoes listen, a score in which the desire for freedom and sonorous exquisiteness beats in the three parts that make it up. Much more attached to his roots, Vaughan Williams left an extensive oeuvre, of which the Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis, which shares the idea of the echoes of the first work in this programme, has remained in the imagination as a purely British work since its premiere in 1910, despite the fact that in those years the influence of Ravel permeated all his work. Equally long-lived, Sibelius delves into anguish and pain as a creative experience in his Fourth Symphony, an enigmatic and exceptional work within his symphonic cycle, which he himself conducted in the face of frontal rejection by the public, unaccustomed to the stark lyricism with which the Finnish composer showed the desolation of the world.
