Vivid peeks into vibrant old Spain

The young Catalan vocal quartet Cantoría presents the Muziekgebouw audience themes that are drawn from life: the fire of love, loneliness, pleasure and sin. All of this through wonderfully varied repertoire from the Spanish Golden Age, performed in a refreshing, theatrical and humorous way. Not surprisingly, Cantoría’s performance at Podium Klassiek in November 2022 received many enthusiastic responses.

Religious devotion and worldly love are sung with the same intention, as is so typical of these Spanish ensaladas (polyphonic music mixing different musical styles and languages) and canciones (chants) with echoes of the colourful life of the common people. As musical storytellers, the singers know how to convey these vivid peeks into vibrant old Spain. Highly recommended for lovers of the unknown.

This concert will be broadcast later by NTR on NPO Klassiek
