New album: Die romantische Seele

Judith Jáuregui presents her latest album Die romantische Seele (The Romantic Soul), with music by Clara and Robert Schumann, released by ARS Produktion. The Schumanns had to fight hard for their love. Yet despite the resistance and hurdles that initially stood in their way, their marriage became a source of mutual artistic admiration and inspiration that illuminated some of the most important works in the history of music. In Die romantische Seele Judith has included four works that reflect this deep union: Schumann's Piano Concerto acts as the anchor point of the album, that is completed with three works for solo piano that testifies to the intense flame of its authors. With them the artist returns to the purest romanticism and to one of the composers who have most marked her in her career to date.

Judith Jáuregui & Britten Sinfonia

Judith’s last concert just days before the Covid-19 crisis was alongside the Britten Sinfonia, playing Chopin’s Piano Concerto no. 1. The English ensemble and the soloist enjoyed a celebrated performance that was full of complicity, as reflected in the review in El Correo the following day: ‘…within that intimate chamber music ambiance, Judith Jáuregui burst in with powerful, intense chords, which soon gave way to the delicacy and elegance that are her own, to her warm, very focused phrasing, which always goes straight ahead, without avoiding difficulties. These abound in the piece by way of all kinds of scales and arpeggios, alternating with soft, dreamy dynamics, in which Jáuregui showed crystalline qualities, temperance in tone and the melancholy of a first maturity’.

Judith and ecstasy

Interview for Diario de Sevilla, by Pablo J. Vayón

At the beginning of his career, nothing suggested that pianist and composer Alexander Scriabin (Moscow, 1872-1915) would end up occupying such an exceptional place in the pantheon of musical extravagance. A great piano virtuoso, his initial works liaise easily with the Romanticism of Chopin and Liszt, but towards the end of the XIX^th century his music began to change, becoming more mysterious and morbid.

She entered the world of music at the age of 4, playing the violin, but quickly discovered this was not the instrument for her. “I had a horrible teacher who threatened to cut-off my fingers when I was only 4 years old!
