About
Pauline Viardot (1821–1910) was born in Paris to a highly musical Spanish family and enjoyed an illustrious career as a singer. Returning to Paris in 1870, she established one of the most important musical salons of the time. Viardot’s songs have palpable Spanish roots, and her later pieces, like Caña española, were likely influenced by her father’s compositions. María Malibrán (1808–1836), Viardot’s elder sister, is most famous as an illustrious Spanish opera diva. Isabel Colbrán (1784/5–1845) was a Spanish opera singer and the first wife of composer Gioachino Rossini. In the early years of her career, she composed 24 short Italian arias which bear a certain Rossinian stamp. That said, as those arias were written before she met Rossini, it must be queried who influenced whom. Pauline Duchambge (1778–1858) is perhaps the least known of these composers, and this album showcases a number of her songs that have never previously been recorded. A pianist, singer and guitarist, Duchambge studied composition with Cherubini and Auber, mainly composing romances on idealised romantic or historical themes (for example, Celle qui voudrait m’aimer). Fanny Hensel (1805–1847) was the elder sister of Felix Mendelssohn. Although she received a thorough musical education, Fanny’s father barred her from publishing her compositions. Several of her songs were published under Felix’s name, including Die Nonne, but she later published the set containing Schwanenlied under her married name. She hosted the so-called ‘Musical Sundays’, soirées attended by leading artists and intellectuals of the day, including Clara and Robert Schumann, Heine, Paganini and Gounod. The life of Clara Wieck (1819–1896) was demanding, given that she had to be the bread-winner for her eight children as a concert pianist, owing to her husband Robert Schumann’s mental illness. The two lieder on this album are from Clara and Robert’s jointly published Zwölf Lieder song cycle.
Cristina Bayón studied at the Advanced Music Conservatory of her native city Seville. She completed her training at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik Trossingen, Germany, where she took degrees in historical singing under María Cristina Kiehr. She worked with conductors such as Christoph Coin, Diego Fasolis, Monica Huggett and with groups like Vozes de Al Ayre Español.
Guitarist Jesús Pineda took master classes with Alberto Ponce, Leo Brouwer, Roland Dyens or David Russell. He has won nine prizes in national and international competitions, among which the ‘Andrés Segovia’ Competition. He is Doctor ‘Cum Laude’ from the University of Seville with a thesis on the guitar work of the composer Manuel Castillo.
