Juan Carlos Heredia – LA Opera

From LA Opera, here’s a lovely concert of much-loved Spanish-language songs from composers such as María Grever and Consuelo Velazquez, beautifully sung by Mexican baritone Juan Carlos Heredia. This fine artist performs a dazzling song programme accompanied by pianist Andrés Sarre. I am less familiar with the Spanish art song repertoire than I should be so this collection of lovely songs is mostly new to me and all the more welcome for that.

Amidst the madness of this time of the year, I, at least, need a quiet musical moment with no external drama and Heredia provides this can’t-miss operatic moment in full measure.
