Throughout, we can admire the art and sensibility of the Latin American composers who drank from the European tradition to create their music but remained rooted in the soil of our rich, colourful, sometimes melancholic yet always resilient culture.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eListeners will already be able to sample the \u003cem\u003eSerenata latina\u003c\/em\u003e experience this summer through the release of three e-singles. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eEn estos días\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e by the legendary Cuban singer-songwriter \u003cstrong\u003eSilvio Rodríguez\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eAl banco solitario\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, a tender love song by the Argentine singer and composer \u003cstrong\u003eYvette Souviron\u003c\/strong\u003e, are already available on all the digital platforms for streaming or as downloads. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eDeseo\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, an emotionally charged concert piece by Cuban composer \u003cstrong\u003eEduardo Sánchez de Fuentes\u003c\/strong\u003e, is due for release on \u003cstrong\u003e7 August\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe idea for \u003cem\u003eSerenata latina\u003c\/em\u003e was conceived almost eighteen years ago at Vienna’s Musikverein, where Xavier de Maistre was performing Ginastera’s Harp Concerto. The composer’s widow, Aurora Nátola, visited him backstage after the concert and suggested that he should transcribe her late husband’s \u003cem\u003eCinco canciones populares argentinas\u003c\/em\u003e for harp. From this starting point, the harpist eventually went on to transcribe the piano parts of almost two dozen Latin American songs, as well as four solo pieces originally written for other instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I really wanted to record Latin songs with a tenor,” says de Maistre. “The first person I thought of was Rolando. He’s familiar with this music and is very innovative, always looking for fresh projects. When I phoned him about it, he immediately said that it was a great idea. We met and after half an hour he said: ‘Let’s do it!’ When he realised what was possible on the harp, he really encouraged me to try new pieces.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRolando Villazón praises de Maistre as “one of the finest musicians of our time”. Their shared curiosity and readiness to take artistic risks helped shape \u003cem\u003eSerenata latina\u003c\/em\u003e. “I am overjoyed to perform the duets on this album with Xavier,” notes Villazón. “I feel that the arc of his interpretation, which goes from the most delicate intimacy to the most refined and exuberant richness, is the perfect kindred spirit for the poetry and melodic universe of these songs.” \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two artists also hope to tour their new programme in 2020-21, with appearances at the Rheingau and Schleswig-Holstein festivals, as well as recitals in Prague, Munich, Stuttgart, Freiburg, Hamburg and Frankfurt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolando Villazón \u0026 Xavier de Maistre","offers":[{"title":"OS","offer_id":53628698788225,"sku":"134310000","price":21.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/8923\/0533\/files\/Rolando-Villazon-Xavier-de-Maistre_Serenata-Latina_CD-Signiertes-Booklet-Bonus-CD_s134310_o200800_a297136_v12056774.90b5157c_d0262422-d327-440b-a166-6bc4fd782d42.jpg?v=1750927801"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.bravado.de\/en\/collections\/xavier-de-maistre.oembed","provider":"Bravado","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
