The theme of the concert is ‘Echoes of Spain’ and features Baroque music written either by Spanish composers or by those who have been influenced by Spanish music. It includes a sonata by Joan and Jose Pla, l’Espagnol from Les Nations by Francois Couperin and a delightful trio by Joseph Kreutzer for guitar, violin and recorder. Also on the programme are three songs which express the anguish of failed love, two of which are quite soulful — Che si puo fare by Barbara Strozzi and Yo soy La Locura (collected by Henri du Bailly) — while the third is quite fiery and defiant—Vuestros ojos tienen d’Amor (collected by Gabriel Bataille).
Performers include: Llewellyn Negrin (recorders); Christine Akerman (violin and viola), Tim Lowe (guitar and lute) and Alexander Rodrigues (spinet and voice). Mary Self (viola) will be joining us for the Couperin work.
