José de Nebra was to Spanish opera what Rameau was to French opera: a pioneer and architect of the revival of the genre in the 18th century. His pastoral melodrama "Venus y Adonis" has now been recorded for the first time by Alberto Miguélez Rouco and his ensemble Los Elementos - almost 300 years after its premiere. The recording is the result of a careful reconstruction by the conductor and offers the opportunity to get to know the splendor of Nebra and the peculiarities of the exuberant Hispanic Baroque. Italian style is combined with traditional Spanish inflections and numerous borrowings from the zarzuela.
