Alberto Miguelez Rouco and his ensemble Los Elementos present here, on this new CD, the zarzuela Donde hay violencia, no hay culpa (“Where there is violence, there is no guilt”). First performed in 1744, this work tackles the story of the rape of the virtuous Roman woman Lucretia, the founding myth of the Roman Republic, as handed down by Livius.
In recent decades, the music of Spanish composer Jose de Nebra (1702-1768) has enjoyed a well-deserved renaissance, and time and again one is amazed at the melodic inventiveness and dramatic power of his works.
Alberto Miguelez Rouco was born in La Corua (Spain) in 1994, where he studied singing with tenor Pablo Carballido del Camino and Piano with Cristina Lopez. In 2012 he began his singing studies at the Musik Akademie Basel (Schola Cantorum Basiliensis), where he studied with the mezzo soprano Rosa Domnguez. He also studied harpsichord and basso continuo with Francesco Corti, Giorgio Paronuzzi and Jesper Christensen. In opera, he has recently sung Telemann’s Orpheus (Ascalax) with Rene Jacobs, Handel’s Partenope (Armindo) conducted by William Christie (Paris Philharmonie, Valencia, La Coruna, Bucharest, Budapest, Luzern). Since 2020 he is a member of Philippe Jaroussky’s voice academy.
Los Elementos was founded in 2018 as a baroque orchestra by Alberto Miguelez Rouco for the first modern performance on historic instruments of Jose de Nebra’s Vendado es Amor, no es ciego. One of its most important goals is the rediscovery and performance of works from the extensive and mostly unknown repertoire of Spanish baroque music. The musicians of the ensemble came together at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, where they received their training.
