The 'Grandes intérpretes del siglo XX' cycle, organized by CaixaForum Valencia, focuses on musicians who redefined their instruments. Until December 2nd, the careers of four iconic artists will be reviewed: Maria Callas, Yehudi Menuhin, Jacqueline du Pré, and Glenn Gould.
Led by journalist and music communicator Pere-Andreu Jariod, the audience will learn how these performers changed the way music is understood.
The program includes lectures such as 'Maria Callas, the voice that changed opera' on September 30th, analyzing how her interpretation transformed the lyrical genre and revived works by Bellini and Donizetti. On October 14th, 'Yehudi Menuhin, the committed violinist' will highlight his role as a violinist and his work bridging cultures with artists like Ravi Shankar.
On November 18th, 'Jacqueline du Pré, an intense life dedicated to the cello' will recount the inspiring story of the English cellist, marked by passion and illness. Finally, on December 2nd, 'Glenn Gould, the pianist who defied conventions' will explore the Canadian pianist's reasons for abandoning live concerts and revolutionizing Bach's interpretation.
