About

This work re-creates, in a totally new way, one of the most important works of Spanish classical theatre. Tirso’s verses are illustrated by turning to the music of the most inspired composers of Spain’s Baroque period, such as Cristóbal Galán, Juan Hidalgo, Bernardo Murillo, Manuel Correa, Manuel de Egüés and the inevitable anonymous composers.

Many of the compositions, in addition to being unpublished, are world premiere recordings.

The artist who confers a soul and life to the poetry and music is maestro Ángel Recasens who, sadly, died in August 2007. This is his last recording, a posthumous one, and a rare emotional intensity, born of illness, runs through it from beginning to end.
