Flamenco Overture is a work for a large orchestra and has a marked Andalusian feel, with a beginning that recalls the ultra-famous Malagueña for guitar by Castellón native Francisco Tárrega, and is full of the melismas and rhythms typical of the genre; far from falling into an easy cliché, Benejam extracts from the orchestra a play of timbres and harmonies full of refinement, exploiting to the utmost the typical rhythm of flamenco dance to create a brilliant and spectacular work.
