On April 13, baritone Jan Antem, with the exquisite collaboration of Miquel Ortega at the piano, transported us to Wagner’s intimate and profound world with the Wesendonck Lieder and the Albumblatt in C major, full of sensitivity.
In the second part, Miquel Ortega presented his “Improvisação” and a suggestive triptych based on poems by Joan Salvat-Papasseit, by the composer himself.
And as a final gift: the delicate Festeig by Eduard Toldrà and La cançó de l’estrella from Wagner’s opera Tannhäuser in Joaquim Pena’s beautiful Catalan translation.
On April 16, Anna Puig (viola) and Rosalía Gómez (piano) offered a programme combining delicacy and expressive strength.
Notably featured were composers Josep Maria Guix, with Three Haikus for Viola and Piano, and Helena Cànovas with Una melodia molt llarga.
The repertoire was completed with works by Louise Adolpha Le Beau (Three Pieces for Viola and Piano, op. 26) and Paul Hindemith (Sonata for Viola and Piano, op. 11 no. 4).
In both concerts, the presentation was hosted by Pep Gorgori for the live broadcast of Km0.
