This album is a personal project for violinist Elsa Grether, who is searching for a Spanish grandfather she never knew.
The recording took place from July 8 to 10, 2024, at the Cité de la Musique et de la Danse de Soissons, France.
Elsa Grether plays a violin made by C.F. Landolfi in 1746, and Ferenc Vizi plays a Steinway Model D piano.
Elsa Grether, the violinist on this recording, dedicates the Carmen Fantasy to women around the world and their freedom.
The album's program includes both well-known pieces and rarities, all celebrating the Spanish soul.
