Leonardo García Alarcón
Leonardo García-Alarcón's first major composition, La Passione di Gesù, is a “canonical labyrinth in the form of an oratorio,” a tribute to counterpoint and to all the composers who have magnified this art, Johann Sebastian Bach foremost among them.
Inspired by the Gospel of Judas, it is a passion for our times, which gives a special place to the figure of the apostle who betrayed Christ, and to the women who surrounded him. With his ensemble Cappella Mediterranea and a team of loyal and highly committed soloists, the Argentine conductor invites us on an extraordinary journey in the form of a labyrinthine tale – à la Jorge Luis Borges, another source of inspiration – crossing languages, styles and instruments, both modern and ancient, including, of course, the bandoneon: “The coded instructions that accompany the sung text are like puzzles to be solved to help the listener find their way out of the labyrinth—or not,” concludes Leonardo García-Alarcón.
