Over to Madrid this week for a concert by La Real Cámara with guitarist Jose-Miguel Moreno in a program of music of Haydn, Boccherini, Sor and Reicha – it was recorded at el Real Monasterio de Santa Isabel de Madrid on December 18, 2008 by Radio Nacional de España.
Starting off the concert with Haydn’s Opus 77 String Quartet – followed by the Guitar Quintet by Luigi Boccherini – Variaciones sobre “Mambrú se fue a la guerra”, Op. 28 by Fernando Sor and ending the concert with the Clarinet Quintet by Anton Reicha with Lorenzo Cappola on Clarinet.
Created in 1992 at the invitation of the Madrid European Capital of Culture Consortium and with Spanish music as an absolute priority, La Real Cámara, directed by its founder Emilio Moreno, is a Spanish chamber orchestra who have performed throughout the world and have a very active recording career.
Needless to say, a good concert all the way around with some delightful playing and some reasonably rare works being performed. Always a plus.
Enjoy the concert:
If you’ve spent any time poking around social media and visiting websites the one thing that may hit you is how unique Past Daily actually is. It’s music you may not be familiar with or have forgotten about – it’s history without turning it into an “eat your vegetables” exercise – it’s people from the past; iconic and notorious who you may have read about or heard about but never actually heard what they had to say. It’s the occasional odd observation on life and living the day-to-day which may prompt you to nod or wince. One thing Past Daily is not is boring. The world is in a constant state of change and it’s good to be reminded that, very often, we’ve been on this road before and have experienced the same results. Sometimes we’ve learned from them, but a lot of times we haven’t -so the reminder that life is this gigantic adventure that very often has some good things attached to can be a comfort and a relief. That’s why Past Daily is here – we’re not here to hustle you for money for things you don’t want or need – we’re not here to trash anybody or anything or get you outraged – we’re here to turn you on to things that might, just possibly, add something to your life.
