He was helped by his fellow artists on this recording, soprano Natalia Labourdette and mezzo-soprano Helena Ressurreicao, as well as researchers Nicholas Zekulin and Andres Moreno Mengibar and musicologist Miguel Lopez Fernandez. This album represents the fruit of those labours.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing world-premiere recordings, L'Andalousie au coeur shines a spotlight on these Viardot songs, including four of her arrangements of music by her friend, Chopin, in a programme that has also been performed by these artists in recitals at the Opera Comique in Paris, the Fundacion Juan March in Madrid and the Festival de Musica Espanola de Cadiz.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1842, Viardot made her only trip to Spain, visiting Madrid, where her father ManuelGarcia had been a star tenor, as well asAndalusia and Granada. During Viardot's performances in Madrid, audiences were delighted when she sang encores during which she accompanied herself on the piano in a selection of Spanish songs. Viardot would include Spanish songs in her recitals whenever possible, and this album reflects that key part of her heritage and output.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe songs heard on this release are gathered from across Viardot's career: they are rich, varied and colourful. Hers was a powerful, versatile compositional voice, and in celebrating her Spanish songs in particular, this programme reveals Viardot at her most elemental - in touch with her roots. That this album represents only a fraction of her output is testament to Viardot's prolific creative brilliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuo a la hongroise\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEl corazon triste\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCana\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEl fandango del diablo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAserrin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRondena\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeguidillas de los oficialitos\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCancion de la infanta\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMi numen parlero\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCancion espanola\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa jota de los estudiantes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEl amor de mi mozuela\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDe que sirve\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa tortolilla triste\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMe mandas que te olvide\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAy, que me robo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMadrid\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLes filles de Cadix\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLe toreador\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJe n'aime pas les toreros\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSerenade a Rosine\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRomance espagnole\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eiAy Soledad!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHabanera\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa gallina\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54421390393729,"sku":"1905462","price":13.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0810042704268.jpg?v=1750649337","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1905462","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
