In 1688 an incredibly talented teenager moved from Mallorca to Madrid and began his unstoppable rise to being head of the royal orchestra. Antonio de Literes had – together with his colleague José de Torres – a truly formative influence on the Spanish musical world during his era. Discover two master composers and their colourful, multilayered music brought to sparkling and shining life by top Spanish ensemble Al Ayre Español and Maite Beaumont under the rousing musical direction of Maestro Eduardo López Banzo who has been the driving force behind promoting the revival of Spanish baroque music. And Händel’s expressive trio sonatas are certain to be the evening’s icing on the cake.
A co-production of Musikfestspiele Potsdam Sanssouci and the Spanish National Centre for the Diffusion of Music (CNDM. Centro Nacional de Difusión Musical). Management & Production: MG Music Management.
This concert was supported by a grant from Acción Cultural Española (AC/E).
