PROGRAM NOTES:
Prince Juan of Asturias (1478-1497) was the only son of Queen Isabella I and King Ferdinand II. With his much-anticipated succession
to the throne, the kingdoms of Castile and Aragón would be united. Further, his marriage to Margaret of Austria, daughter to the Holy Roman
Emperor Maximilian I, ensured that the new kingdom of Spain would emerge as a Catholic state surpassed in influence only by Rome. Already
the region had been ‘cleansed’ by the persecution, killing, and expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Jews and Muslims. Isabella and Ferdinand
stood poised to see their vision for one great and powerful kingdom, united by a single Catholic faith, come to fruition. At only age 19, the newly married Juan unexpectedly died. His death was devastating not only for Isabella and Ferdinand, but for all those who shared their aspirations for a united Spain. It was a catastrophe from a social, political, and religious perspective, with mourning throughout the whole of Spain lasting for 40 days.
Belleza de música e interpretación!!
España sigue triste y sin ventura, por tantas razones.
Surely all Spain's feelings at the death of the Prince, centuries ago, are encapsulated & enshrined in this exceptional piece !
We are transported to the Siglo de Oro. Thank you
Thank you for your lovely comment, Gerard.
Fue una gran pérdida y un gran sufrimiento para Fernando e Isabel.
Gorgeous...
Thank you very much!
I have no words... Very moving. Beautiful rendition. Gracias!
Marina! Thank you for your lovely comment.
I have such complex feelings when I sing pieces from the siglo de oro as a Sefaradi. Especially pieces like this. Triste España indeed.
Hi Ian. Thanks for your comment. Your complex feelings are seen and recognized. We hope you noticed the program notes in the video detail.
