Serena Sáenz: Birds

Among the multifaceted images that represent nature in music, the song of birds occupies a special place. The nightingale, for example, is often used as the embodiment of longing and the romantic ideal, its song reflecting the deepest human emotions with all their nuances and complexities. The combination of beauty and tragedy has also been taken up again and again in literature, as in Oscar Wilde's fairy tale The Nightingale and the Rose or the famous night scene from Romeo and Juliet. On this debut album by soprano Serena Sáenz, she focuses her song selection on these musical adaptations of birdsong in operatic arias, inviting listeners on a journey through the centuries by combining the most diverse musical traditions and cultures and transporting them to a world of timeless beauty.
