Asier Polo makes his debut in the renowned contemporary music festival, La Biennale de Venecia, performing “Frondoso Misterio”, the Cello Concerto by Luis de Pablo, which was dedicated to Asier Polo in 2001. José Ramón Encinar conducts the Basque National Orchestra.

The disc will be released next year on the Spanish National Orchestra’s own label.

Asier Polo takes on these two works (Concierto in modo galante / Concierto como un divertimento) by one of the greatest Spanish composers of all time, Joaquín Rodrigo, who is most famous for his guitar concerto, the Concierto de Aranjuéz. Both the concertos are full of grace, virtuosity and elegance, and were recorded with the Spanish National Orchestra under the baton of Juanjo Mena. Asier Polo is the only artist to have recorded both concertos on one disc.

The disc will be released in 2015 on the Spanish National Orchestra’s own label.

As part of the CNDM cycle, Asier Polo will perform the evocative work by Tan Dun “Snow in June” for solo cello and four percussionists, “Neopercusión”, as well as the premiere by the young Spanish composer Alberto Carretero, featuring Manuel Blanco (trumpet) and Juanjo Guillem (percussion). Without doubt, this is a great opportunity to enjoy Asier Polo’s more contemporary work.
