Saborear la Admiración by Martín Y Soler, Rodrigo, J., Dukas, sex 25 nov 2022, De (2022/2022), Regente Andrés Salado, Palacio de Congresos Manuel Rojas, Badajoz, Espanha

From Valencia to Vienna or Paris and two centuries away, Vicente Martín y Soler and Joaquín Rodrigo knew how to condense the fervor for Spanish dances, in which “old time and new time were going to intertwine”. The opera Una cosa rara (1786), Martín y Soler shared popularity and librettist with Mozart in Vienna, who would perpetuate a fragment in his Don Giovanni. The hypnotic Fantasy for a Gentleman combines Rodrigo's fascination with the transcriptions of the Baroque composer and guitarist Gaspar Sanz. The legacy of his teacher in Paris, Paul Dukas, is the purification of the material that appears in his only symphony. Three works that savor admiration, a deep professional respect immersed in a sound balance with the past.
