Alberto Miguelez Rouco; Los Elementos - Jose De Nebra & Francisco Corselli: Cantadas

Countertenor Alberto Miguelez Rouco (born 1994) studied singing in his hometown of La Coruna in Spain before continuing his vocal training at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis with Rosa Dominguez. Despite his young age, he can already look back on a remarkable career. As a concert singer he has performed in Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno (Handel), Il San Vito (Pasquini), Magnificat (Bach), Marian Vespers (Monteverdi), Oratorio de No�l (Saint-Sa�ns), Te Deum (Charpentier), Gloria and Magnificat (Vivaldi) and Coronation Mass (Mozart).

He has performed in concerts with Les Talens Lyriques, Ensemble Elyma, and Trondheim Baroque Orchestra.

The present recording of Spanish cantatas by Jose de Nebra and Francisco Corselli is his solo debut album.

The music is excellent, and both Rouco and the ensemble do it ample justice. This disc is another step in the direction of a full appreciation of Spanish music of the 18th century. � MusicWeb International
