The Zapico brothers from Asturias, Aarón, Daniel and Pablo, wanted to perform chamber music together, but had no specific repertoire for their instruments – harpsichord, theorbo and guitar. So they decided to make their own transcriptions of a number of Spanish and Italian dances from the 17th and 18th centuries and record the Concerto Zapico in 2010. The originality of the idea found favour: they performed the music on tours around the world and widened the repertoire with more transcriptions. Eight years later, they were back in the recording studio to commit to disc Concerto Zapico Vol. 2, with more transcriptions of Spanish and Italian dances – the repertoire they will perform for us this evening at Torroella de Montgrí.
