Volver

Legendary tenor Plácido Domingo partners with the global ambassador of Spanish guitar (Billboard Magazine), Pablo Sáinz Villegas, on their new album, Volver, an intimate album that features a great selection of Iberian and Latin-American songs. After an impromptu performance together at a benefit concert in 2016, the pair knew that they had a special chemistry and the idea of doing an album was born. With arrangements by twelve-time Grammy® Award winner Rafa Sardina, the album features Spanish coplas, nostalgic fados and Mexican boleros. Songs include Violeta Parras "Gracias la vida", which was inducted into the Latin Grammy Hall of Fame, "Volver" by Alfredo Le Pera and Carlos Gardel and Álvaro Carrillo s immensely successful "Sabor a mi." Plácido Domingo is a legend. One of the finest and most influential singing actors in the history of opera, he is also a conductor and a major force as an opera administrator in his role as general director of two companies: Los Angeles Opera and Washington National Opera. As a singer, Domingo s repertoire encompasses 150 roles, a number unmatched by any other tenor in history, with more than 3,900 career performances. He has won twelve Grammy® Awards and his recordings and appearances with José Carreras and Luciano Pavarotti as The Three Tenors was one of the most successful musical partnerships of all time. Praised as the soul of the Spanish guitar, Pablo Sáinz Villegas has become a worldwide sensation known as this generation s great guitarist.
