Realismos Magicos by Rolf Wallin

This work was co-commissioned by the Bergen International Festival, Sound Festival, Scotland and the Wigmore Hall, London, with support from André Hoffman, president of the Fondation Hoffmann, a Swiss grant-making foundation.  The world premiere took place on 7 April 2014 at the Wigmore Hall, London, performed by Colin Currie.  The titles of Realismos Mágicos’ 11 movements are taken from short stories by Gabriel García Márquez. These movements can also be performed as free-standing pieces.
