“It’s good to have a disc devoted to Klein’s music in the superb performances and lifelike sonics we’ve come to expect from Ensemble Villa Musica and MDG.“ (American Record Guide)

This CD from the Real Compañía Ópera de Cámara presents two cantatas by the Spanish composer Vicente Martín y Soler - Il Sogno and La Dora festeggiante. Il Sogno, written in 1787, is the only example of collaboration of between Martín y Soler and the great librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte. These works are like a small fresco of this period of transformation. La Dora represents the end of a period, in which the Olympic gods serve as a model to human behavior, while Il Sogno, is, deep down, a pre-romantic spiritual work, in which the nymphs are no longer unattainable beings, beings that do not suffer or have human passions but on the contrary, they embody them, they live them in their own skin in spite of being in an idyllic place.

Compilation of eighteen songs performed by the German clarinetist and conductor Hugo Strasser (Munich, 1922). The first thirteen tracks recovered a varied repertoire of dances popular in the mid 60s, with rhythms such as twist, shake, hully gully, swim, limbo, bossanova, bostella or surf among others. Only the final five tracks collected danceable rhythms considered standard in ballroom dancing, as rumba, bolero, cha cha, quickstep or foxtrott.
