Hello everybody! It is a great pleasure for me to share with you my new CD "Canciones de cámara españolas (1801-1850)". A CD recorded last year with Sophia Unsworth (fortepiano and piano) and Víctor Landeira (romantic guitar). This CD is the result of a long process of research about an unknown period of Spanish Music History: the first half of 19th century. This period was really convulsive: the Independence War, the first Constitution, and the Restauration of the King Fernando VII produced a very particular music, most of it edited and premièred in other countries, by composers who were condemned to the exile because of their political ideas.

In my section 'Videos' you can find a short and beautiful teaser of the CD. It is on sale on the Spanish Musicology Society website www.sedem.es

I hope you enjoy it! :)
