Miguel Baselga

Lo que no me contaron en el conservatorio

A Pianist's Confessions About the B-Side of Music By Miguel Baselga.

Between musical outreach and irreverence, pianist Miguel Baselga reveals the (almost) always-hidden B-side of classical music.

To approach a world as closed and eminent as classical music, sometimes it's not enough to simply knock on the door: you have to break it down and demystify its venerated and peculiar inhabitants. Miguel Baselga, the concert pianist with the most rock 'n' roll spirit on the national (and international) scene, confronts like no one else the clichés and paradoxes that have always surrounded classical music. And he does so with humor, with his particular irreverent and passionate style, with rigor, and, above all, with great erudition. What They Didn't Tell Me at the Conservatory is an essay that emerges from the eponymous section that Miguel Baselga presents each week on RNE's "Las Mañanas," in which musical dissemination and the unspeakable secrets of a pianist intertwine.
