Conductor and artistic director Aarón Zapico opens the musical treasure trove in the archives of Oviedo Cathedral and introduces the world to unknown Spanish gems of the 18th century. Each work is a premiere recording; to be discovered are six vocal pieces by Joaquín Lázaro [1746 - 1786] – these love arias about the highest, divine love are brought to life by soprano Jone Martínez – and two entrancing instrumental pieces, as well as a sensational violin concerto with soloist Jorge Jiménez.
