In Portugal, like in other European countries, Romanticism kindled the sense of national identity, giving Portuguese songwriting a renewed dynamism. This concert, which forms part of the cycle on Iberian music, presents a selection of the best Portuguese songs of the last century, combined with various examples from the Cancioneiro Popular Português, an anthology compiled relatively recently by Michel Giacometti and Fernando Lopes-Graça.
