A laureate of the EEEMERGING+ program, the Cantoría ensemble present their own interpretation of the famous Ensaladas by Mateo Flecha "El Viejo". For their first recording with Ambronay Editions, these four young singers use their passion and enthusiasm to make us rediscover some masterpieces of the Spanish Renaissance. Freshness, expressiveness and proximity have become the distinctive features of Cantoría, a vocal group specializing in the performance of Iberian Renaissance polyphony, directed by Jorge Losana. It's aim is to revalue and find new ways of approaching the Renaissance and Baroque repertoire in order to bring it closer to today's audiences.

Marco Antonio Centorio was born around 1600 in the Piedmontese town of Vercelli, in northern Italy. He began his studies of music and the humanities at the Collegio degli Innocenti, an institution founded in the late 15th century to supply Vercelli Cathedral with singers for religious services. Centorio, who had a fine treble voice, was one of the six pueri cantus taken in and educated at the Collegio. When his voice broke he moved to Milan, where he studied organ and counterpoint. By 1618 Centorio was already organist at Vercelli Cathedral, in 1628 he was appointed chapel master in the Cathedral, a position he held until his early death in 1638.

Orazio Benevoli was one of the most important Roman Baroque composers. Born in Rome in 1605, as a twelve-year-old he joined the pueri cantores (choirboys) of the Church of San Luigi dei Francesi, where he remained until 1623. The following year he assumed the post of maestro di cappella at Santa Maria in Trastevere; then at Santo Spirito in Saxia and later on at San Luigi dei Francesi. In 1644 he moved to Vienna to serve at the court of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Hapsburg. Upon his return to Rome he briefly served as maestro di cappella at Santa Maria Maggiore before becoming the choirmaster of the Cappella Giulia at the Vatican on November 7, 1646, where he remained for over 25 years until his death on June 17, 1672.

"Since 2010 the Associazione La Cantoria has dedicated its energies to the rediscovery of unpublished musical compositions from Rome, transcribing, studying and performing these both live and recording them under the Tactus record label. This cd is dedicated to the musician, composer and organist Francesco Giovannini who was chapelmeister at the Church of Santa Maria in Portico in Campitelli in the 18th century, and whose works are conserved in the archives of the Order of the Clerics Regular of the Mother of God in Rome. The best way to understand and appreciate a liturgical musical composition is to savour it the very same context where it was born and for which it was conceived. This is what this CD intends to do; to allow us to live the sonorous experience of an ancient mass of the Roman rite. These late-Baroque compositions by Francesco Giovannini shine like precious gems set in an antique piece of jewellery made of Gregorian chant, readings, and orations where the organ is heard almost fleetingly in those moments when the sound of the voice and other instruments is superfluous or even prohibited."

Tosca has been well-served on CD, with excellent stereo versions by Renata Tebaldi and Leontyne Price, as well as the definitive monophonic Maria Callas interpretation on EMI. What lifts this new Tosca from the pack of also-rans is Angela Gheorghiu's intense portrait of the heroine. She sings with sweep and passion, convincing you of Tosca's varied emotional states, from love and jealousy to honor and desperation. Her stabbing scene is chilling; she spits out the repeated word "Mouri" (die) with terrifying power.

Orfano fin dall’età di cinque anni, Félicien David cominciò la sua formazione nella cantoria della cattedrale di Aix-en-Provence prima di iscriversi al Conservatorio nel 1830. Qui frequenta le classi di Millault (armonia), Fétis (contrappunto) e Benoist (organo), seguendo contemporaneamente l’insegnamento di Reber. Periodo di breve durata tuttavia, poiché già nel 1831 abbandona l’istituzione senza aver ottenuto alcun premio e aderisce, sotto l’influsso del pittore Pol Justus, alla comunità saint-simoniana, della quale diventa il compositore ufficiale.
