This time it has been. It was the third year of the name in the lineup Ferrández faller (this time as Ferrández Brothers), but it was only his second mascletá. It premiered in 2009 (see our review at the time), and last year, 2010, rain prevented shoot. Was suspended. So today, two years later (and for the third time in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento), made his second mascletá those currently based in Alicante Murcia (in Beniel). It was also their first performance under its current name (Brothers Ferrández), after bifurcating family saga primal in two new ways: one of them being them.
What first drew attention in its assembly was that the strings had six deductions or "sections", as they call in the house, and that the earthquake was so unusual because in the square. Entered by the post, turned toward the center and was deployed again from post to City Hall. Moreover, all this final land was constrained in the end zone, next to the close air batteries. In fact all the "guns" of the bombing was stuck with a shoehorn between strings of comings and goings of the earthquake. Was embraced by them. Seldom has been an earthquake so lopsided or peripheral to Telefónica and Marques de Sotelo. This was due to two things. First there was a higher retention than normal and, second, that before the first withholding of Ferrández had assembled a collection of digital thunder in a square as a "retention number zero." This was to reproduce, with thunder, what they called "the Seventh Cavalry." These two extras (over retention and the previous digital), had spread the earthquake (which, moreover, was widespread), to the wide margin of the square.
Besides all this thunder had strings of digital tracks on the long sides of the square to do what these Alicante called "Revolver" (rotations or runs through the square). This is used in the air start and end, in the section.
The beginning of the mascletá was no fireworks in Valencia. Were directly truenillos red volcanoes and knock down, digital. The most striking were the opening disposed from the center to the sides (City area). After that sounded the seventh cavalry (executed in this "zero retention"), ending with a bang on the perimeter of the square. This musical theme, applauded by the public, it worked pretty well and his pace was sufficiently recognizable. The success (as we have discussed other years), was in play with a single theme and repeat it (without changing gait.) So the respectable (and even dubiously respectable critics as the undersigned), have the chance to recognize exactly what is being done. It seemed that some thunder will not work at some point. But as the digital creation was repeated, had time to crush the ears and the traditional memory sonidillo we associate with western movies when I got the seventh cavalry.
After "the seventh" followed by several digital games that can, perhaps, for another day, be something more definite. But it is well integrated into the shot to give some enhancement of the contemporary. Have returned to some prominence air and then passed to the land phase of the six retention or sections. Land was accompanied by whistles and green lights from the bottom of the square. The body was well built and did well, gaining strength in the different parts. So much so that in the sixth and final withholding the show had reached such a scale score that was lost even clear if the earthquake had already begun or not. This is great. Means that kept us in suspense until the final ground into a beautiful and well bonded. He built the fire naturally, low to high and the elbows of the "other" provision of the earthquake were not noticed too much.
The quake also was, in all its branches, two times, ie had direct lightning flash and other (alternate), with three-second fuse. That doubled the effect having a first sound effect reinforced later. It worked very well, because it was taking shape (being also a very long earthquake), to the end. But there had to foot the bill for using this type of earthquake: the last thunder fuses twenty branches of the final section, were already playing without force, leading to a drop in intensity. This is joined to the fact that the aerial bombardment began slightly later. Rather, perhaps, should have anticipated this and set both (end of earth and air start). Above, as the bombing began on a spongy and slow, all this somehow undid the good work earlier. Appearance lacked forcefulness and determination on this point after making an entry and an earthquake so achieved. In a moment of fire gestures must be logradísimos or if not, it breaks the overall effect has been gained.
Self-determination that was much more clear, the intention shown in the final section up to seven rolled into the square (the "Revolver") with the following tours at volcanoes (green and red in the City Post Office), always in the clockwise. These volcanoes had truenillos. And then there were five lashes (revolvers ultra fast), very strong, red curtain rises on both long sides (with cicadas), and end of thunder in the sky across the plaza, very tight indeed. Need to polish a bit this orchestration and above all, the link with the bombing of the earthquake that was poor and slow. And when we had attended such a good link the hardest part (union of the body to the earthquake). Welcome to fail again.
