Maria Bayo Les Talens Lyriques, Christoph Rousset The Zarzuela is an idiomatic Spanish form of opera that is known above all today through works written in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This recording, which was a “Gramophone Editor’s Choice” when first released shows, however, that even in the seventeenth century composers like Soler and Boccherini were already skilled in the operatic form. |

Palomo’s Sinfonía a Granada (Granada Symphony) was written in response to a commission from the area’s regional government. The composer himself has written, “I have been faithful to the most authentic Andalusian music, introducing a number of Arabic and Hebraic melismas as well as cadences characteristic of flamenco”. |

Zarzuela is a Spanish lyric-dramatic genre that alternates between spoken and sung scenes, the latter incorporating operatic and popular song, as well as dance. The name derives from a Royal hunting lodge, the Palacio de la Zarzuela near Madrid, where this type of entertainment was first presented to the court.There are two main forms of zarzuela: Baroque zarzuela (c.1630–1750), the earliest style, and Romantic zarzuela (c.1850–1950), which can be further divided into two main sub-genres of género grande and género chico although other sub-divisions exist.
A masque-like musical theatre had existed in Spain since the time of Juan del Encina. The zarzuela genre was innovative in giving a dramatic function to the musical numbers, which were integrated into the argument of the work. Dances and choruses were incorporated as well as solo and ensemble numbers, all to orchestral accompaniment. | Naive - V5120 (CD - 6 discs) £28.99 (£24.67 ex. VAT) |
