Amor, Sol, Saudade - South song
Maria Portela Larisch, soprano
Jou-an Chen, piano
Wanderlust, l'appel du large, fernweh ... these are different words and languages to express the same deep longing for travel. Amor, sol and saudade refer to passion, warmth and a melancholic longing. This warm-blooded programme takes you on a journey between two worlds, past Iberian and Brazilian melodies.
Enrique Granados and Fernando Obradors show us different facets of Spanish song, romantic or folk, deeply influenced by the guitar. António Fragoso's rarely performed songs are gems of tenderness, with the characteristic Portuguese intimacy. Finally, the vibrant colours of Brazil, which shine in the songs of Ernani Braga and Heitor Villa-Lobos, make this ‘invitation au voyage’ of Maria Portela Larisch and Jou-an Chen complete.
