Echoes of the Spanish Baroque

This programme will feature works by Spanish as well as French, Italian and English composers who were deeply influenced by Spanish culture and language. Notable highlights include Handel’s rare and colourful profane Spanish cantata, No se emendará jamás, and Lully’s ‘Sé que me muero de amor’ from Le bourgeois gentilhomme, which reflect the allure of the Spanish language and its poetic expressiveness. Lowe Ensemble are also thrilled to present their own arrangement of Fandango by Antonio Soler, recorded in 2025 with support from Continuo Foundation.
