Answer

What role did the piano play in Manuel de Falla’s Noches en los jardines de España?

Davide Cabassi played the solo part with restraint and fine tonal shading rather than overt display. The piano blended into the orchestra like part of a larger Mediterranean soundscape. That gave the piece atmosphere and colour instead of turning it into a virtuoso showcase.
