Josetxu Obregón, conductor
DOWNLOAD THE PROGRAMME
The first concert of Les Arts
is Baroque stars Alessandro Scarlatti and his oratorio for five
voices Il giardino di rose, considered by
musicologists to be one of the author's best works. Premiered in
Rome in 1707, at that time it was already considered modern music,
due to its extraordinary beauty, expressiveness and innovative
style. The cellist and director from Bilbao, Josetxu Obregón, and
the La Ritirata ensemble, founded by him and specialised in the
historical interpretation of the Baroque, will rediscover this
jewel of the sacred repertoire for us, led by an expert vocal cast
that includes the Catalan soprano Núria Rial.
