In a characteristically thrilling fusion of musical styles, L'Arpeggiata, the prizewinning ensemble led by harpist Christina Pluhar, presents a programme of Spanish and Latin American music that ranges from the 17th century to the present day. Guest vocalists include French countertenor Philippe Jaroussky, who sings the lyrical title tango, 'Lost Birds' by Ástor Piazzolla.
A thrilling and arresting fusion of musical styles and techniques is a trademark of L'Arpeggiata, the multi-faceted instrumental and vocal ensemble led by Christina Pluhar. This new collection - which takes its name, 'Los Pájaros perdidos' ('the lost birds'), from a piece by the King of Tango, Ástor Piazzolla - brings a heady Latin American mix. Echoes from the pre-Columbian era, African rhythms and the styles and structures of the European Baroque all enrich this survey of music from the 17th century to the present day, with a geographical spread that covers Spain, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Venezuela.
