A concert of music from the 2017 Pyrenees Festival of Early Music. The festival was created in 2011 with the aim of performing early music in the rich architectonical heritage of the Pyrenees. Many towns of the region have preserved Romanesque churches with awesome acoustics, and the performances of the festival programmes take advantage of those spaces. Sebasti谩n Dur贸n (Guadalajara, Spain, 1660 鈥� Cambo-les-Bains, France, 1716) was one of the most influential Spanish composers of his time. Appointed Master of the Royal Chapel of King Charles II in Madrid, he was forced into exile in France after the War of the Spanish Succession, where he continued composing, mostly for theatre. According to the Enlightenment scholar Father Feijoo, Dur贸n was 鈥渞esponsible鈥� for the Italianization of Spanish music. In this programme called "Muera, Cupido (Die, Cupid), N煤ria Rial sings some of the most beloved love arias from Dur贸n鈥檚 stageworks, accompanied by the Accademia del Piacere conducted by violist Fahmi Alghai.
