Getting there takes about an hour and a half foot, but there are horses who do not want to walk. In the temples are the most exquisite religious rituals, which, like the beauty of them only can be stored in memory because it is forbidden to take photos.

VII continues this month cycle of JS Bach Cantatas - Music at historical sites in Madrid organized by the Department of Arts of the City of Madrid and groups Hippocampus and La Capilla Real de Madrid, led first by Alberto Martínez Molina and second by Oscar Gershensohn. The series, born in 2004 in order to interpret the complete concert of JS Bach's cantatas in churches in Madrid, is filling the churches year after year. Throughout these issues have been attended not only Hippocampus and La Capilla Real de Madrid but also invited other formations, primarily English. "When this cycle was born in 2004 was premised inalienable quality of music offered and the quality of the performers. The absurdity topic of English groups were not prepared to face the Bach repertoire was removed at a stroke. Had it not been so we would not be enjoying a seventh season of a cycle that is known throughout Spain and many parts of Europe as the cycle of Cantatas, Madrid, or the Bach cycle of Madrid ", explains Martínez Molina and Gershensohn. "With a professional outlook as we find in Spain, this cycle continues its journey and will continue staking claims on behalf of the English groups," they add.

"We have almost completed the cantatas: if our programming perspectives are true, IX 2012-2013 season will have played them all. Our desire is to transform this cycle of cantatas in a permanent cycle in which a large majority of English musicians and groups interpret the best national and international repertoire. Not only Bach, of course, but always with Bach as the axis, as a guide and reference for quality. Hopefully I can play music and sounds of Victoria, Cabezón, Monteverdi, de Nebra, Handel, Telemann, CPE Bach, Martin y Soler, Haydn, many others ... and also very great composers JS Bach, always JS Bach ", announce artistic directors of the cycle.
