About

José de Nebra dominated the 18th Spanish music scene: often commissioned to compose for official events, he rote numerous zarzuelas and, as organist, left an important legacy of religious music. Of the four complete zarzuelas that have survived, three can be found on this recording, conducted by Eduardo López Banzo, with zarzuela specialist María Bayo.

Amongst Spanish composers, de Nebra was the leading figure on the Madrid stage for almost three decades but is now inexplicably forgotten. Thanks to the work of people such as López Banzo we can now appreciate this vital part of the Spanish baroque cultural inheritance.
 
The bonus DVD includes an interview with Eduardo López Banzo and the live recording of some of the arias presented in a recital of 13th of December of 2005 at the Teatro Real de Madrid.
