Carolyn Sampson & Juan de la Rubia
Carolyn Sampson will perform twice at Palau de la Música Catalana in June 2020. She is known for her angelic voice and her great imagination when it comes to making music, and the two distinct programs will show off the art and versatility that this singer possesses. Her repertoire includes Monteverdi, Purcell, and contemporary music.
The duo, Carolyn Sampson and Juan de la Rubia, will perform Johann Sebastian Bach’s Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach. Bach gave these two handwritten notebooks to his second wife, Anna Magdalena, and since then they have become iconic reflections on music of the his era.
The first book, written in 1722, contains works by Bach himself; the second book from 1725 is a musical compilation of Bach and other composers of the time. They include piieces of various genres, such as music for clavichord, minuets, polonaises, sonatas, choral preludes, and arias, among others.
