A program dedicated to three important song cycles from the Portuguese and Spanish repertoire of the 20th century, introduced by irresistibly charming pieces by Reynaldo Hahn, a composer from Venezuela who made his musical career in Paris. These celebrate the long-awaited arrival of spring, a season that fills nature with new life and awakens new hopes for happiness and fulfillment in hearts…
The Canciones amatorias by Enrique Granados, premiered in 1915 with the composer at the piano, combines a romantic sumptuousness with a musical gesture that is at times archaic and contemplative, at other times marked by light, dancing rhythms. In them we find Venus weaving a wreath of roses in her garden and exercising her charm over ecstatic and passionate lovers, while Cupid wounds unwary hearts with his arrows.
The luminous cycle Mar de Setembro by Fernando Lopes-Graça (1961-1975) is a declared homage to Claude Debussy. Its uniquely impressionistic harmonies paint a seductive maritime backdrop for Eugénio de Andrade’s wonderful poems, filled with an intimate and exalted eroticism.
The poem in the form of canciones by Joaquín Turina (1917), a musical synthesis of romanticism, French impressionism, and Spanish popular music, ends the recital with the exacerbated emotions of love lived with absolute abandon and full intensity.
