Lorquiana

In this album, Lorquiana, Ana María Valderrama, violin, and David Kadouch, piano, project Lorca’s musical personality into the future by compiling different scores linked in one way or another to the Andalusian artist. Poulenc’s sonata illustrates the positive welcome of the political and social significance of Lorca’s figure in France, where it became a symbol of freedom and resistance. Hahn’s work, on the other hand, takes us to those happy and ephemeral Twenties of the last century that Lorca also enjoyed. Alizia Terzian’s song shows the powerful influence that the poet has had in the Hispanic American context. The famous La vida breve passage is a nod to the veneration Lorca professed towards Falla. And, of course, we listen to Lorca’s own creations in a rich selection of Spanish popular songs, iconic testimonies of his compositional activity that are revisited in an exceptional arrangement by Alberto Martín for violin and piano.
