Rebirth is a message of hope but also the exploration of an idea: that silence and inactivity are the best prelude to creative renewal. Yoncheva's fourth solo album for Sony Classical includes music spanning more than five centuries, from folksong to pop, via some of the most powerful moments in seventeenth-century opera. All the music, in Yoncheva's view, is contemporary. 'Certain styles of musical composition have remained surprisingly close to us through 500 years of history, combining enormous emotional thrust with great simplicity,' she says. From the dawn of opera and music by Monteverdi, the album plots a thematic journey from the Italy of Cavalli, his pupil Strozzi and heir Stradella to the England of Dowland, Gibbons and Ferrabosco - whose motet Hear me, O God employs the same four-note theme as ABBA's Like an Angel Passing Through My Room. After dance-inspired works from Spain and Latin America, and Alarcón's reconstruction of an aria by Antonio Draghi, Yoncheva offers a traditional folksong from her Bulgarian homeland. Media were full of praise after Sonya Yoncheva performed her album repertoire at the Salzburg Festival after the lockdown in August 2020. 'Music that moves you to tears' wrote the APA and the FAZ raved about her Bulgarian folksong 'Zableinano mi agunce' being \"an unforgettable emotional experience.\" Rebirth was recorded in the concert hall of La Chaux-de-Fonds, with Alarcón and his ensemble Cappella Mediterranea, during the first European lockdown. The feeling of the acoustic, Alarcón says, was equivalent to 'playing inside a vast lute.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQueste lagrime e sospiri   -   ALESSANDRO STRADELLA 1639–1682\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e O rosetta che rosetta SV 237 (instrumental) from Scherzi musicali  -    CLAUDIO MONTEVERDI 1567–1643\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e E te pur vero … Luci mie voi che miraste  -   Aria of Adelanta from Xerse   - FRANCESCO CAVALLI 1602–1676\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Silver Swan    ORLANDO GIBBONS 1583–1625\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Voglio di vita uscir SV 337     CLAUDIO MONTEVERDI 1567–1643\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e S’apre la tomba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ojos pues me desdeñáis    JOSÉ MARÍN 1618\/19–1699\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Y a tus plantas Nisea - Aria of Minerva from El Prometeo -  LEONARDO GARCÍA ALARCÓN *1976\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pasaje del olvido (instrumental) - SIMÓN DÍAZ 1928–2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Zableyalo mi agance   -   BULGARIAN FOLK-SONG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e L’Egisto: Sinfonia della notte (instrumental)  -  FRANCESCO CAVALLI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Oblivion soave  -     Aria of Arnalta from L’incoronazione di Poppea SV 308 - CLAUDIO MONTEVERDI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e L’Eraclito amoroso  from Cantate ariette e duetti op. 2   -   BARBARA STROZZI 1619–1677\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tarantela española (instrumental)     SANTIAGO DE MURCIA c.1682–c.1740   DIEGO FERNÁNDEZ DE HUETE c.1635–c.1713\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hear me O God        Adapted from Pavan on Four Notes  ALFONSO FERRABOSCO II c.1575–1628\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Come again sweet love doth now invite     JOHN DOWLAND 1563–1626\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e No hay que decirle el primor   TOMÁS DE TORREJÓN Y VELAZCO 1644–1728\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Like an Angel Passing Through My Room      ABBA(BENNY ANDERSSON \/ BJÖRN ULVAEUS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50521728811282,"sku":"194398240220","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/various-artists-rebirth-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
