This is the debut CD of young Spanish soprano Sylvia Schwartz. The programme is a recollection of lieder by different composers who used lyrics of poets inpired by Spain or by Spanish poems. A good collection of songs by Wolf and some very rare lied like the “Spanische Romanze” by Halfdan Kjerulf. A really beautiful recording.

Temple of Chastity: 13th Century Spanish music from Codex Las Huelgas - Vol.1

Temple of Chastity: 13th Century Spanish music from Codex Las Huelgas - Vol.1

Type: CD
Collection: Vocal Collection
Subcollection: Spanish Songs

Mille Fleurs’ debut recording for Signum Records is devoted to one of the treasured manuscripts of early music, the Codex Las Huelgas.

This impressively large manuscript contains 170 parchment folios of works from the 13th and early 14th centuries. It was discovered by two monks early in the last century in the royal convent of Las Huelgas outside Burgos, Spain. It is unusual in several ways, encompassing a wide range of musical forms and styles, and being highly organised according to genre, liturgical function and number of voices.

The codex reflects the devotional practices of a medieval Cistercian monastery, but it wasn't designed as a luxury object, rather, a pragmatic tool to be used as a source of reference or perhaps even for actual performance. This is an especially intriguing manuscript for music historians, performers and listeners alike.

The pieces contained in the Las Huelgas manuscript reflect a wide range of Latin-texted music between 1200 and the first half of the 14th century. French influence is strong, illustrating the repertory as both international and local, imported, and adapted in a continual process of absorption and reinvention.

Mille Fleurs bring a wealth of experience and research to these performances. Some pieces are performed as written; in others the notation provides a starting-point for musical elaboration. These charismatic singers do not believe female early music vocalists should sound like modern choirboys, but instead celebrate their different vocal timbres with each voice’s natural personality shining through.

Just as the manuscript is pragmatic and adaptable as regards the notation of its musical repertory, so the performance approaches adopted and realised on this recording offer variety and flexibility, always respecting the nature of the piece.

One thing is clear: throughout the Middle Ages the walls of the monastery of Las Huelgas resounded to the most highly refined and eloquently beautiful musical settings then in circulation in northern Spain.

Acoustic World - FLAMENCO

Acoustic World - FLAMENCO
ID: COR16068

This disc, which contains live and studio performances, captures differing styles of flamenco through some of the most important names in the genre: Paco Peña, Diego el Cigala (Dieguito), Manolo Domínguez the Losada brothers, and Paco del Gastor. It includes traditional tracks but also shows that flamenco is an ever-developing tradition.

Flamenco is hotly emotional. An art form that has its origins in Arab influenced Andalusian folk music, adopted and adapted by the Gypsies only in the last two hundred years or so, flamenco has deeper roots and connections. It is true world music, partly because so many different peoples, cultures and religions have lived across southern Spain and also because geographically Andalucía is the gateway to the Mediterranean and the Americas across the ocean, and the bridge between Europe and Africa.

Flamenco involves three performing arts - song, guitar and dance. The quality of the voice is directly linked to the historical and social background of the music. There is a certain roughness that encompasses uncompromisingly strong emotions. The flamenco singing is sometimes of the Muslim call to prayer - not surprising as it was once heard all over Andalucía. The guitar provides us with further blending of east and west in its use of melodic lines accompanied by more exotic sound, key and time structures. And the dance embodies the passion, delirium and fire of southern Spain. The mix of the three expresses the soul of the region.

Flamenco, with its roots in love and tragedy, contains a spiritual force which bridges both the secular and religious dimensions of human experience.

Fiesta española -Flamenco und spanische Musik des 16./17. Jahrhunderts

Fiesta española -Flamenco und spanische Musik des 16./17. Jahrhunderts
ID: RK2408
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Collection: Traditional
Subcollection: Spanish Songs

Das „United Continuo Ensemble“ liebt es, alte Musik mit neuen Aspekten zu verbinden. Auf dem Programm dieser „Fiesta Española“ ergänzen sich in temperamentvoller Anmut frühbarocke Stücke - wie das eingängige „Ojos pues me desdeñais“ von José Marin (gesungen von Mercedes Hernandéz) - mit modernen Flamencokompositionen. Besonders spannend wird die Aufnahme durch das hörbare Tanzen von Elva La Guardia - Palmas, Kastagnetten und der kraftvolle Rhythmus ihrer Füße begleiten nicht nur die Flamencostücke, sondern auch einige der frühbarocken Kompositionen. So wird bspw. das Instrumentalstück »Jácaras« von Gaspar Sanz mit dem Flamencorhythmus der bulerias unterlegt, am Ende steigert es sich bis zu den markanten zapateados der Tänzerin. Aus diesen zahlreichen Begegnungen entstehen ungewohnte und mitreißende Momente. Eine wahrhaftige „Fiesta española“, auf der Laute und Barockgitarre gemeinsam mit Flamencogitarre und Cajon erklingen und auf der sich frühbarocke Melodien mit dem Klagegesang des Flamenco verbinden.
