Across cultures and centuries, rhythm and ritual have shaped how music expresses identity, belief, and desire. Respighi’s Trittico Botticelliano refracts the 15th-century masterpieces through the lens of Italian Impressionism; Zhou Tian’s Flute Concerto stretches Eastern sensibility across a Western symphonic frame. Falla turns to the music of his native Andalusia to tell a story of possessive ghosts, deception, and the ultimate triumph of love.
