Josep Soler (b.1935), one of the most important contemporary Spanish composers, was in several occasions inspired by works of Albrecht Dürer (Das Marienleben and Die grosse Passion) and Bartolomé Murillo (the opera Murillo). In the case of Dürer, Soler did not directly replicate the artworks, but rather followed the manner of expressing the anguish, a concept constantly present in composer’s thought. In the case of Murillo, on the other hand, in order to show his ideal of an artist as an intermediary between God and the man, Soler used Rilke’s psychodrama describing the painter as an ideal of artist.

Abstract
Josep Soler (b.1935), one of the most important contemporary Spanish composers, was in several occasions inspired by works of Albrecht Dürer (Das Marienleben and Die grosse Passion) and Bartolomé Murillo (the opera Murillo). In the case of Dürer, Soler did not directly replicate the artworks, but rather followed the manner of expressing the anguish, a concept constantly present in composer’s thought. In the case of Murillo, on the other hand, in order to show his ideal of an artist as an intermediary between God and the man, Soler used Rilke’s psychodrama describing the painter as an ideal of artist.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
