Jesús Legido, one of the greatest composers of contemporary Art song in Spain, is portrayed here in this first recording of a selection of his voice and piano songs, which draw inspiration from folklore and his poetic influences (like Antonio Machado and Federico García Lorca). Renowned Spanish soprano Raquel Lojendio, accompanied by pianist Irene Alfageme, invites us to this marvelous voyage through love, death and life, the three pillars of Legido’s poetic and powerful language.

Francesco Cavalli is one of the main baroque opera composers of the XVIIth Century. His music is full of passion, dissonances, beauty, joy, torment… And the ensemble of La Galanía, leaded by theorbo player Jesús Fernández Baena and soprano Raquel Andueza, has compiled a selection of his most wonderful arias and duets for soprano and alto, creating themselves their own small play, Miracolo d’Amore, a love and betrayal story between the two singers.
