Italian Paths through Spain

After more than a decade of existence, the Nereydas ensemble makes its debut at the Festival in magnificent company, that of the soprano from Extremadura María Espada, in a program that mixes works by Spanish and Italian composers, ideal for verifying the deep mark that transalpine musicians left on those from the Iberian peninsula. The recital opens with a Salve Regina by one of the most famous composers of his time, Pergolesi (although he lived only 26 years!). His influence reached everywhere, including the Spanish Royal Chapel –where Francisco Corselli was a master and later his disciple Antonio Ugena–, but also El Escorial, where Father Soler and Jaime Ferrer worked, whose Soy pastorcilla (I am a shepherdess) reveals the survival of the Christmas carol, a Spanish paraliturgical genre par excellence for centuries, as late as 1800.
