Program notes
“This music goes straight to the heart...because it deals with things that affect us all directly, such as home, family, the joy of love and the pain of love,” asserts the Peruvian tenor in describing this concert program dedicated entirely to popular music from Peru, Mexico, Venezuela, and Argentina. Accompanied by an instrumental ensemble composed of piano, guitar, trumpet, and percussion, Juan Diego Flórez offers us a bouquet of some of the most touching songs from the Latin-American repertoire, adapting his world-renowned bel canto voice to music so close to his heart.
