Late Splendour
In the eighteenth-century Santiago Pabón’s organ that is currently in the church of Santos Justo y Pastor, the Cádiz-born organist Pedro Luengo will approach some rarely used Hispanic repertoire. Although it could seem that the instrument had lost its splendour in Spain after the famous Cabezón, Correa, Aguilera de Heredia, Bruna or Cabanilles, Luengo will remind us with his concert that José de Nebra and Padre Soler –to name only two of the greatest of the time– were above all organists, and that from Torres to Lidón, the maestros of the Royal Chapel already belonged to the guild. Furthermore, Luengo will confront the value of these Spanish composers with that of Handel and Bach, as well as he will perform pieces by Scarlatti that are rarely heard on the organ and will extend his vision until well into the 19th century, by including the maestro Eslava in his repertoire.
