About
‘Iberia: Polyphonies Espagnoles et Portugaises de la Renaissance à Aujourd’Hui’ is a musical journey through time across the Iberian peninsula.
From the medieval Spain of Alfonso The Wise to that of the Renaissance with Guerrero and Victoria, we are led to the Portugal of Lôbo and Cardoso, masters of the golden age of Portuguese polyphony.
The voyage ends with two contemporary creations that continue this tradition, by the Portuguese António Chagas Rosa and the Spaniard Iván Solano.

Technically the show-stoppers are the new pieces: the beginning of Iván Solano’s Cielo arterial is bracing like a cold shower, and the soprano’s stratospheric high notes at the end, wafted along by a collective glissando, forces admiration…programmes combining early and modern may be experiencing a return of popularity but they are seldom better integrated or executed than here.
