Top tenor signs composer contract with Beethoven’s publisher

Message from José Cura:

Happy and proud to announce the beginning of my collaboration with the legendary Austrian Publishing House, Doblinger Musikverlag. The prestigious Viennese based company will soon be publishing my work as a composer, so that everyone can access the scores of Ecce Homo, my Neruda Sonnets or my guitar concerto “Concierto para un Resurgir” (written during pandemic lockdown), among other works to come.

At this moment of international distress, it is an amazing feeling to be able to establish this cultural relationship that not only is a proof that there is light at the end of this covid tunnel, but also is a recognition to my resuming of my composer work , longly paused in benefit of my performing career. This doesn’t mean I will stop performing, don’t worry, but I cannot think of a better way of balancing my artistic life after having performed nearly 3000 times in the last 30 years…

World premiers of my “Te Deum” and my “Concierto para un resurgir” are planned for next year (covid allowing …), as well as the release of the recordings of “Ecce Homo” and “Si muero, sobrevíveme” (the Neruda Sonnets). Also, in 2022, my “Requiem Argentino” will be premiered, in coincidence with the 40 years of the South Atlantic War between Argentina and UK, back in 1982. Scores of these works will be added to Doblinger’s Musikverlag catalog soon.

Peace & Love!
