One of Plácido Domingo's most personal albums to date as he performs coplas, the traditional popular songs of Hispanic origin with which he grew up.
Coplas express melodramatic, amorous sentiments, relate humorous incidents, historical events or comment on everyday life. In Spain the genre had a boom in the 1930s when many composers of popular songs and light classical music contributed to the tradition with art songs.
Domingo has made a personal selection of coplas – he describes them as “mini operas” – and recorded them in Madrid with the Orquesta de la Comunidad de Madrid under Miguel Roa. All songs have been newly arranged – the result is this revival of a beautiful, nostalgic genre.
