Description
For this 1996 recording, Emilio Moreno gathered a group of early music lights including soprano Marta Almajano, violinist Enrico Gatti, harpsichordist Guido Morini or percussionist Pedro Estevan.
The objective was to provide a varied musical soundscape with pieces that the Spanish painter Francisco de Goya (1746-1828) might have heard in the palaces, in the theatres, in the churches, and on the streets of his time.
The programme offers a colourful succession of songs and instrumental pieces which provide the listener the perfect complement to Goya's paintings in all their diversity. Moreno writes in his booklet essay: 'Whether popular or art music, simple or intellectual, cultured reminiscences or preromantic palpitations which Goya was already anticipating in his work [...], we hope that hearing it will in some way round out the multi-faceted image of this painter without condescension or excesses, [...] music in fact impregnated with that spirit of illustration which the artist, as nobody else, displays.
