Patricia Petibon Explores Spanish Arias and Songs on DG

"Watch Patricia Petibon speak about her Deutsche Grammaphon album Melancolia and a trailer with behind-the-scenes clips of the recording session. Unique for her dramatic flair, expert musicality, and interpretive powers, soprano Patricia Petibon indulges in her love of Luso-Iberian music. From zarzuela to art song, folk song, the "Aria Cantilena" of Brazil's Villa-Lobos, and the traditional Afro-Brazilian "Ogundé uareré," Patricia Petibon also samples the new. She includes the world-premiere recording of Nicolas Bacri's song cycle, which was dedicated to her. Patricia Petibon adds spice by teaming up with flamenco musicians for one-of-a-kind performances of the zarzuela hit Adios, Granada and the folk tune "El vito." Beloved favorites are not neglected: Petibon's take on "La tarántula," "Marinela," "Canto negro," and "La petenera" sparkle with light and life."

Complete track list is after the jump.
