Brisas Mediterráneas (Mediterranean Breezes) is a work for Guitar and Orchestra composed by Mauricio Díaz Álvarez. The orchestration arrangement was made by the conductor and composer David Gómez Ramírez from the original piece for guitar solo Hommage á Joaquín Malats (Tribute to Joaquín Malats) by Díaz Álvarez himself. The score has a delicate treatment surprising us with its rich harmonic colours, modulations and a deep and intense cadenza, in which the composer proposes a sounding journey using a temperamental Spanish nationalist language that moves between the 19th and 20th centuries.
The personality of Isaac Albéniz would contribute, in an outstanding way to define (through his piano compositions) the essence of Spanish musical nationalism, exerting a great influence on composers of his time, among whom the figure of the great pianist Joaquín Malats.
The closeness to the language of the guitar of his latest’s works especially his Serenata española (Spanish Serenade) as well as that the former compositions, has often offer some transcriptions allowing the guitarist to deepen his knowledge of that aesthetic and, at the same time, to enrich his repertoire with works of unique strength and expressiveness.
Taking this piece from the solo guitar to the orchestral world is a brilliant exercise of sonorous fantasy. Brisas Mediterráneas respects at all times the essence of the original melodies that we find in Hommage á Joaquín Malats, saying that, the guitar is always the principal element and proposes a permanent dialogue with the winds and strings from the orchestra. Undoubtedly, this is a sincere homage to this brilliant golden generation of Spanish composers such as Granados, Albéniz, Turina, Falla and, of course, Malats. Nevertheless, the citation of his Serenata española is just another wink in this homage to a great and admired.
