Golden Ages

Pianist and researcher Ricardo Gosalbo is a champion of Spanish and Hispano-American song and a director of the Hispanic Music Series. He introduces some of the principal poets of these divergent but connected art song traditions, from the ‘Golden Age’ of Spanish poets in the 16th and 17th centuries, through Romanticism and into the 20th- century. Joined by the Colombian soprano Julieth Lozano, Ricardo references the poetry of Cervantes, Bécquer, Neruda and others, and their settings by composers including Obradors, Turina and Revueltas.
