Música para dos dinastías
Sebastián Durón: Music for two dynasties | LAU016
Like the music of many Spanish composers of the 17th and 18th centuries, Sebastián Durón's work has been underestimated for decades and considered less valuable than that of the great composers of the Golden Age. However, Durón was one of the most important figures in Spanish music. He was an organist and composer at the court of Charles II and Mariana of Neuburg, the last kings of the House of Habsburg. He was also chapel master to Philip V when the Bourbon dynasty came to power. Durón's support for the Austrian cause during the War of the Spanish Succession resulted in his expulsion from the Royal Chapel and exile to France in 1706. To mark the 300th anniversary of his death, this recording features several of Durón's religious works in the Romance language, primarily for eight voices. We reveal a composer who is faithful to the Hispanic tradition of tonos and villancicos, and who masterfully integrates Italian elements, possessing an extraordinary capacity for expression. This is a great opportunity to recognise the sacred works of this fascinating musician, who served two dynasties. The album is part of the Poetic Music record collection of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC).
