Estrella Morente & El Amor Brujo

Estrella Morente performs two works from the Spanish repertoire at the Auditorio Nacional de Madrid: Federico García Lorca's Canciones españolas antiguas and Manuel de Falla's 1914 version of El amor brujo.

The programme brings together two central pieces of twentieth-century Spanish music. The first part presents the set of Lorca's Canciones españolas antiguas, in the arrangement by Manuel Tévar, with twelve songs ranging from « Anda, jaleo » to « Los reyes de la baraja », preceded by the work Reflejos de Córdoba by Constancio Hernáez.

The second part is devoted to El amor brujo in its 1914 version by Manuel de Falla, with thirteen numbers that run from the introduction and scene through to the finale with the dawn bells. Among them are the Canción del amor dolido, the Danza del terror and the Danza ritual del fuego.

The show combines flamenco, poetry and tradition, with Estrella Morente's voice at the centre of a journey that joins cante with the literature of Lorca and the score of Falla.
