"TRIBUTE TO VICTORIA DE LOS ÁNGELES"

Tribute to Victoria de los Ángeles

Manuel García Morante and Albert Guinovart were accompanying pianists to Victoria de los Ángeles at different given moments. Regarding their work as composers, the Scherzo Female Choir offers two of their compositions. Additionally, a selection of some of Toldrà’s most beautiful songs remind us of his relationship to the soprano. Victoria is the epicentre of the relations to the composers included in this program.
