Polifonía de construcción clásica, armonías del siglo XX y una atmósfera sonora delicada y expresiva, en un marco especial: la iglesia más antigua que se conserva en Madrid (San Nicolás), junto a la Calle Mayor de la ciudad.

Er erlöset meine Seele von denen, die an mich wollen, und schaffet mir Ruhe; denn ihrer ist viel wider mich. Gott wird hören und sie demütigen, der allweg bleibet. Sela Sela Sela. In the evening, morning and midday I shall lament and cry So he will hear my voice He releases my soul from those who are against me and gives me peace for there are many of them against me God will hear and will humble them He who reigns forever.

Around our shadowy table placed, The spectral bowl before us floats: With wine that none but ghosts can taste, We wash our unsubstantial throats. Three merry ghosts—three merry ghosts— three merry ghosts are we: Let the ocean be port, and we’ll think it good sport To be laid in that red sea. With songs that jovial spectres chaunt, Our old refectory still we haunt. The traveller hears our midnight mirth: "O list!" he cries, "the haunted Choir!" The merriest ghost that walks the earth, Is sure the ghost of a ghostly friar. Three merry ghosts—three merry ghosts— three merry ghosts are we: Let the ocean be port, and we’ll think it good sport To be laid in that red sea.  less

I take off the suit and my German shoes, rip the tie off my neck, the shirt off my breast, the buttons popping, and throw the alien clothes into the trunk. I see the stars of my motherland, they are brighter than those in Germany, there's no smoke between me and the sky." (H. Müller) Memories are the main protagonists, and Voices from the past are the ones that lead us to une...    less
