Forma Antiqva, Jone Martinez, Jorge Jimenez, Aaron Zapico - Sancta Ovetensis

The Spanish baroque ensemble Forma Antiqva rescues forgotten masterpieces. The conductor and artistic director Aaron Zapico opens the musical treasury in the archives of Oviedo Cathedral and presents Spanish masterpieces of the 17th century to the world. Each individual work is a premiere recording, including six vocal pieces by Joaquin Lazaro (1746-1786) � the soprano Jone Martinez brings these love arias about the highest, divine love to life again � and two anonymous instrumental pieces and a violin concerto.Forma Antiqva, conducted by Aaron Zapico, is one of the most outstanding baroque ensembles in Spain. Zapico places special work on the discovery of Spanish baroque music. The maestro unearths gems and performs them with his ensemble as if the ink were still wet on 17th-century sheet music. Very exciting!
