Presentation

Thanks to the BBVA Foundation grant, Álvaro Torrente has recovered the music of dances of the Golden Age.

‘À la recherche du bal perdu’ is focused on a proposal for musical creation, based on musicological research of a traditional nature in response to a historiographic problem that has not been resolved.

The aim is to compose and interpret in the style of the baroque period, and also record, a selection of the sung Spanish dances of the Golden Age (until approx. 1860) of which no scores have been preserved.
