Simon-Pierre Bestion immerses us in the world of Charles V and a Spain marked by Arab-Andalusian culture. From 1515 onwards, Spain also welcomed musicians and singers from Flanders: this Capilla flamenca had an explosive effect on Spanish music during the Renaissance, according to Bestion. He has composed an imaginary Requiem for the death of Charles V, using compositions actually intended for this service, such as Pedro de Escobar’s Missa pro defunctis and Cristobal de Morales’ Missa Mille regretz, based on the emperor’s favourite song. As usual, the founding conductor of La Tempête takes a few liberties and breathes life into these works by arranging them with variations in timbre, tempo and expression: ‘I chose to make extensive use of percussion and certain very distinctive instruments such as the shawm and sackbuts, which perfectly match the spirit of outdoor processions, such as those in the gardens of the Alhambra.’
