Debussy II: Images, Victoria & Benedetti Michelangeli
Claude Debussy was one of the composers Victoria de los Ángeles performed from the beginning of her career, with Pelléas et Mélisande being the last opera she performed at the Teatro de la Zarzuela in 1981, a role she debuted in at a very young age. In 1978, on the BBC program Desert Island Discs, when Roy Plomley asked her for the first recording she would take to a desert island, she replied without hesitation: Debussy's Images performed by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli. A choice that undoubtedly says a lot about Victoria de los Ángeles' musical imagination. Marta Puig, one of the resident artists of the current season, offers us this program centered around Debussy's Images, which dialogues with a very 'Victoria' program featuring pieces by Granados and Mompou.
