“LIGHT AND WIND” PIANO CONCERTO - LUCÍA CARUSO
"Light and Wind" Piano Concerto live performance with the Buenos Aires Philharmonic Orchestra, 14 October 2023
"Light and Wind" is a Transclassical piano concerto composed and performed by Lucía Caruso. Indian Ragas reimagined in a classical context are used throughout, as well as some unusual techniques: blackboard erasers, a felt-covered yardstick, guitar picks, drumsticks, and Lucía’s palms. It consists of three movements, each reflecting different natural phenomena. The first movement starts with a powerful windstorm, followed by the gradual settling of the storm, and then the appearance of stars in the sky. The following movement is a representation of the night air and a new day's dawn, with a guitarist—Pedro—playing the strings of the piano like a guitar: using tremolo, rasgueado, and arpeggios for an otherworldly effect. The third movement reflects a change in weather from light rain to bright sunshine, followed by a violent tempest.
