About

There is no period in the history of world literature in which more was written about love and of a higher quality than during the Golden Age, and Spanish baroque poetry is perhaps its most extreme expression, not least the example of Icarus, Daedalus’s foolhardy, young son, who disregarded his father’s warnings and risked drawing too near to the sun, causing the wax of his wings to melt and converting his flight to freedom into death.

In short, Icarus marks the poetic and musical journey that has been used to create an original argument that sings the praises of love in its many guises.

The order of the works recorded was established according to the different sections of the mythical legend of Icarus (“Wings of Wax”, “Icarus”, “The Sun”, “The Flight”, “The Fall”) and which, in turn, refer to a wide array of metaphors and meanings of love during the Spanish baroque.

The release of this recording continues Lauda’s line of work, bringing to light 16th- and 17th-century Spanish works, while continuing to build bridges between music performance based on historical criteria, philology and advanced musicological research.
