Currently, as imbued by Valente’s poetry, Sotelo writes pieces like Memoriae. Escritura interna sobre un espacio poético de José Ángel Valente (1994) – a key work in his career – Nadie (1995–97), Epitafio (1997), In pace (1997), Si después de morir… In memoriam José Ángel Valente (2000), El rayo de tiniebla (2008), Arde el alba (2008–2009) and Muros de dolor … V: José Ángel Valente – Memoria sonora (2009).

Facts & Trivia

Mauricio Ranked on the list of most popular Conductor. Also ranked in the elit list of famous people born in Spain. Mauricio Sotelo celebrates birthday on October 2 of every year.

The figure of Federico García Lorca also appears in Sotelo’s music in 1998, for the first time, when he finishes the pieces Canta la luz herida por el hielo. Homenaje a Federico García Lorca, Frammenti de l’infinito. Lorca-Nono, Diálogo del amargo and Interludien zu Lorcas ‘Canciones Populares’. From that year, Lorca’s lyrics arise in Sotelo’s catalogue till today because of two reasons: on one side, a shared attraction for Flamenco – also a very inspiring music for the poet – and, on the other, the enchantment that Lorca’s poems have caused in Luigi Nono’s music already in the fifties. This seduction for the lorquian world is again reinforced in Sotelo’s creative life since 2012, when he’s invited to create a new opera: El público – commissioned by Gerard Mortier for the Teatro Real – in a prologue and five scenes, with a libretto by Andrés Ibáñez, after the text by Lorca published around 1930, performed for the first time in Puerto Rico in 1979 and seven years later in Spain. This opera was to have been premiered in the winter of 2015 at the Teatro Real in Madrid.
