Música Antigua Archives - Brío Clásica

One of the most celebrated news in recent years within Early Music was the discovery of the works of Antonio Caldara, the author who, in conjunction with Handel, best has composed for the voice during the baroque period. The road to its replacement began a little over 25 years when René Jacobs, already brilliantly devoted to conducting, rescued the manuscript of the work Magdalene at the feet of Christ (1697-1698) in Vienna, and took it to record in a mythical multi-award winning recording that still moves us deeply to this day. That extraordinary music Caldara, full of lyricism, of rhetorical games and operatic twists, return the 10 April at 19:00 hours to the National Center for Musical Diffusion (CNDM), under the direction of Jacobs himself to bring it back to light in 1996 and embraced by one of the referential orchestras in the 18th century repertoire, the Freiburger Barockorchester.

The Maddalena de Caldara is much more than a Venetian oratory. It actually functions as a kind of sacred opera that, thanks to the composer's genius, becomes a compendium of beauties where the earthly and the spiritual of the human being compete for making room between his arias. Is, definitely, the old conflict between desire and reason that human beings have needed so much to sing and write. What makes this concert one of the events of the season It's not just the return to the stage of Caldara's privileged score, but the fact of doing it hand in hand with one of the directors who best understands the phenomenon of singing, René Jacobs, and sheltered by what for many years has been and perhaps still is the spearhead of specialized orchestras. Some of the most memorable recordings and concerts of the last two decades have emerged from this splendid tandem..

To face this composition that Caldara imagined so demanding, it is necessary a distribution of guarantees, which in this case leads the coveted soprano Giulia Semenzato, a versatile voice capable of dazzling the Royal Opera House as Sussana in The Marriage of Figaro and to the Aix-en-Provence Festival with his Nannetta in Falstaff. The middle Marianne Beate Kielland and tenor Joshua Ellicott accompany Semenzato in a cast that completes some of the most interesting voices of the baroque scene, as the countertenor (ganador del X The Garden of Voices) Alberto Miguélez Rouco, baritone Johannes Weisser and alto Helena Rasker.

The Freiburger Barockorchester, in excellent shape, returns to Madrid after his successful concert with the Requiem from Biber from last season. Few orchestras can boast of maintain such high quality standards for more than three decades within the historically informed interpretation, and such a marked responsibility when it comes to recover forgotten repertoire through the years. Some of his recordings, as the Don Giovanni Mozart with Jacobs precisely, remain today as indisputable references.

In a music with such a rhetorical charge, it is essential to have a guide that translates the baroque codes to the present day. A) Yes, and as part of the pedagogical initiative “in the court theater” CNDM, to 18:00 hours will take place in the Assembly Hall of the National Music Auditorium a talk by Eduardo Torrico, specialist and chief editor of SCHERZO magazine, and where, in an informed and carefree way, the fundamental secrets of the work will be unraveled .

When René Jacobs made the leap from singing to musical direction, Few could imagine sense of color when dealing with timbre of the orchestra and its development taste for hue. Several decades later and with almost three hundred recordings behind him, we can see him again in action with one of his fetish works, and in charge of the orchestra with which he maintains the best chemistry, all this on stage Symphony Hall of the National Auditorium, with locations ranging from 15 a 40 euros, on sale at the box office of the National Music Auditorium, INAEM theaters, www.entradasinaem.es and on the phone 91 193 93 21.

His project is called "Revolution". What is the real revolution of Baroque music?

Revolution Baroque music in the last fifty years has experienced various stages, as the stage of rediscovery of ancient instruments, the language and its communication to the general public. Our project wants to extend the temporary space of early music this term extending until the nineteenth century, in order to show that the music of the nineteenth century is still nourished by many gestures and expressive codes from centuries past, that the listener can reveal today still hidden aspects and details, capable of producing new emotions, already forgotten.

Venetian composers Albinoni, Marcello, Vivaldi y Galuppi. What each brings special baroque?

All these composers, along with many other, They have helped create a style that in the eighteenth century Venice attracted musicians and music lovers from all over Europe. A rhythmic style that presents solutions, melodic and harmonic characteristics, product of influences from the many cultures that crisscrossed in a multiform and multifaceted city as the Venice of the time. A style, Besides, who has had a great influence on many musicians; first of all, J. S. Bach.

Why express baroque music in such a precise feelings and passions?

The link between the composer of Baroque music with the executing agency and ultimately the listener is characterized by an aesthetic that conceives emotions and passions in an order that determines the moments, in certain sensations are experienced. Definitely, we are talking about musical rhetoric, whose application enables us to understand this time and relive the emotions and passions stronger and sincere.

Do you think the codes currently used to transmit and receive baroque music are different from those used at the time of its composition? How it is evolving musical language?

In my opinion, Today is absolutely necessary to use the same codes then, because it is the only way we have to get as close as possible to what was in the mind of the composer and getting, so, the musical and emotional result is stronger and more communicative. What changes today from the past is perhaps the sound perception in relation to the spaces, with the consequent risk of distorting the meaning of the musical material.

Delving into the knowledge of Baroque music opens an infinite universe of communication and knowledge, no solo musical. After many years of career and a thorough study, semiotic cases, Baroque music, What is your diagnosis for this genre today?

I have spent over forty years studying ancient music and all aspects that characterize, not only music, but also historical, philosophical, sociological, etc. All this has allowed me to understand how much remains to be done to understand and learn new things that can be transmitted to others. It has also helped me to realize that this music still gets talk, and now seem despite the passage of time.

What we can expect is his new album: "Concerts for Strings III and concertos for viola d'amore" para prestigious Vivaldi Edition (classical naïve)?

Our last recording aims to highlight the extraordinary ability to tell Vivaldi always something new and original, albeit through a brief and seemingly stereotyped as Concerto for Strings. We wanted to delve, in deep, in the details, sometimes, hidden, that make these wonderful "miniatures", to make emerge the thousands of different solutions that are able to implement this great composer, while maintaining its recognizable and unique style. The Concertos for Viola d'amore They represent a body of work unique in its kind, allowing us to better understand the timbral and expressive possibilities of this mysterious and little-known instrument.

Through videos of his latest work we realize the importance of image and staging. How important is the aesthetic audiovisual communication as an element of his art?

I believe the visual element is, definitely, important to communicate and convey emotions quickly and effectively at all listening levels. Let us not forget that at the time baroque, the look "synesthetic", even music, It was very important. sounds, colors, effects, choreography or visual spectacle fascinated the listener and strongly conditioned the perception.

Is it a contradiction to say that Baroque music takes us back to the future?

Modern man, unlike previous centuries, look at the art and so also the music, moving elements of the past to contemporary aesthetics and sensitivity. Y, evidently, past and future are intertwined with researching their roots, and aesthetic requirements and future.

What makes Ottavio Dantone when not making music?

I relax in my house with my family, although the music does not leave me practically never.

Chapel Royal Harpist, Calderón's collaborator in the first Spanish zarzuelas and operas and author of an important corpus of chamber songs (the human tones), Hidalgo well represents a time of crucial cultural and political transformations that Fahmi Alqhai and his renowned Accademia del Piacere will recreate in a reconstruction that will be as faithful to the time as it is creative in its modernity..

Christian Zacharias

Christian Zacharias, Indian-born German pianist (Jamshedpur, 1950) he is not only one of the most celebrated and international piano players of his generation, but also an appreciated conductor. Among his extensive discography as a soloist, he has left us reference versions of various authors, entre ellos Domenico Scarlatti. In this program, Zacharias revisits the Neapolitan and confronts him with Soler, both composers who found in the keyboard the best expression of a high and refined artistic sensibility that with Zacharias is in the best hands.
