Her best known film is perhaps Dancing Beethoven, which was nominated for the Goya Awards in 2017.[1] It is about the creation of a ballet to the music of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.[2] The choreography is by Maurice Béjart. Aguirre had made an earlier film about Béjart's legacy called El esfuerzo y el ánimo ("Of Heart and Courage").[3]
In 2018 she released El amor y el muerte ("Love and Death").[4] This film about the composer Enrique Granados takes its title from a piece in his piano suite Goyescas. It features noted performers of the music such as Rosa Torres-Pardo and Evgeny Kissin.[5]
