We couldn’t be happier to see Lavinia Meijer’s new recording of Julián De La Chica’s FADO featured on Spotify’s New Classical, joining an exceptional international selection of new releases and artists.

Curated by Spotify’s classical editorial team, New Classical brings together some of the most compelling new classical releases from around the world. Find FADO at No. 25, alongside Daniil Trifonov’s much-anticipated Lecuona recording, Hildur Guðnadóttir’s FLOOD, Sol Gabetta performing Lalo, and Janáček’s The Excursions of Mr. Brouček with Sir Simon Rattle and the London Symphony Orchestra, among many others.

Don’t miss the playlist—and the extraordinary music surrounding FADO.

Released yesterday on [IGM], FADO brings No. 4 from De La Chica’s piano cycle, Op. 5, Nocturnal & Circular Images, into the harp repertoire through Meijer’s delicate and quietly hypnotic interpretation.

“For more than two decades, New York-based artist Julián De La Chica has moved fluidly between disciplines. His body of work encompasses chamber music, opera, installation art, cinema, and, more recently, literature with his novel God's Punishment. Despite these different forms, his work consistently circles the same enduring question: What remains after memory begins to fracture?”

Thanks to Chicago Journal for this thoughtful feature on PIRET, the artists behind the film, and the dialogue between its visual language and music.

The feature also looks ahead to the October release of Julián De La Chica: Complete String Quartets, Op. 7—the world premiere recording of the complete cycle, featuring Hypnagogia and After Beauty, performed by the Kahlo Quartet.

Read the full feature via the link in our bio.

Starring Estonian artist Anni Jürgenson, alongside Colombian performance artist and activist Chico Raro in a special appearance as "Maestra Gertrudis", PIRET continues the formal vocabulary that has gradually emerged throughout De La Chica cinematic work: black-and-white imagery, the 4:3 frame, long-duration takes, repetition, narrative ellipses, and a restrained visual austerity in which atmosphere takes precedence over exposition.

Music functions as one of the film’s primary narrative structures. Its conclusion is built around a movement from String Quartet No. 1, Op. 7, Hypnagogia, originally premiered by De La Chica at Carnegie Hall in 2016 during his debut as both composer and pianist. Ten years later, the complete Op. 7 cycle has been recorded by the Kahloquartet and will be released this autumn, coinciding with the festival circulation of PIRET.

El Vagabundo

Shot entirely on Kodak Double-X Super 16mm, PIRET marks Julián De La Chica's most ambitious cinematic work to date.
