Label: Hyperion Catalog: CDA67954 Format: CD Sylvia Schwartz (soprano), Malcolm Martineau (piano)Granados: La maja y el ruiseñor, Tonadillas en estilo antiguo; Guridi: Seis canciones castellanas; Turina: Tres poemas, Abril, Maig; Montsalvatge: Cinco canciones negras On this album the young Spanish soprano Sylvia Schwartz, accompanied by pianist Malcolm Martineau, offers a deeply seductive collection of romantic Spanish songs. The recording includes works by Granados and Turina as well as less familiar composers such as Guridi, Toldrá and Montsalvatge. Schwartz demonstrates her wonderful emotional and dramatic range in Granados's Tonadillas en estilo antiguo, a set inspired by the paintings of Goya, and her commitment to this repertoire is evident from her utterly enchanting performance of the folk-influenced songs by Guridi that set a beautiful series of Castillan melodies.
