Rosalía, Stravinski & Ouijas : La classique pour les jeunes

In 1964 Rosemary Brown, a London postal employee with self -taught musical formation, began to fill pages of scores. As he declared, they were not his own compositions, but unpublished pieces of Franz Liszt dictated by the spirit of the Hungarian composer, who had appeared for the first time when she was seven years old. For decades Brown, who died in 2001, published musical pieces that he attributed to Brahms, Beethoven or Schumann. He always argued that the composers had been dictated from ostratumba, and that they headed to it in English.

In August last year, when the violinist Patricia Kopathinskaja finished her concert in the musical fortnight of San Sebastián, two almost thirty -year -old sneaked in the Kursaal stage to try to contact for Ouija first with Liszt and then with Brown, and definitely solve the mystery. “We had to do it with a app of the mobile because we could not buy a donosti board, ”recalls Nacho Castellanos, founder with Mario March of The vomitorya podcast of classical music that does not resemble any other podcast of classical music. The idea arose precisely in San Sebastián, following their love of commenting concerts. “When you go to an auditorium you spend 45 minutes in silence, concentrated, and at the end you need to vomit everything you feel. From there the podcast comes out,” explains March. “The concert ends, we get a camera, two microphones and tell people that passion. We want to infect it, as if it were a pandemic.”

The space where we photograph them, the library of the Madrid Athenaeum, has its own meaning: next June 13 and Castellanos will offer there a concert in their facet as musicians, a piano and voice repertoire as eclectic as their conversations, with works by Purcell to Joe Hisaishi. Castellanos is a contractor, a talent that compatibles with his work in musical communication. March, in turn, is a face known even for those who have never heard a sonata: he began his career as an actor (The protected) and a place in entertainment has been looked. In 2024 his podcast with Dane Rivarola, Do you want to be my friend?won a wave and this same year March has been the winner of Bake-off: oven famousthe Spanish television pastry contest.

But, above all, March is a musician, a classic pianist who has acted as a soloist in stages around the world. “It is my identity,” he replies about that apparent double life. “I started in the art world for classical music. I come from a family of musicians, I have musicians, my wife is a professional violinist … I started in the interpretation because I introduced myself to a casting where they were looking for artists. podcaster”.

The vomitorywith about twenty episodes, accumulates more than four million monthly reproductions on social networks. For their microphones, in addition to anecdotes, data and information, stars of the classic have passed such as Lang Lang and Arcadi Volodos pianists, or guitarist Pablo Sáinz Villegas. “There is talk that the classic has an aged and difficult access, but we were convinced that we could reach many more people,” they point out.

In the half hour that each episode lasts, the two musicians address their melómanas philias, their picturesque experiences such as consecrated pianists’ papagins or the legends surrounding fundamental works and composers. And they do without prejudices. “Classical music requires a lot of work and a lot of philosophy, but that makes it fear of talking about it. We use natural language, we talk about Stravinski and Rosalia, without taboús,” says Castilians. “Why not say that Lady Gaga is the closest thing today to the Total work of art of Wagner, if he has just been in Coachella with a show full of references to the courtyard And to the Italian plant theater? In art there are no boxes, but continuity and emotion. ”A detail: The vomitory It has no music. “Our goal is that, at the end of an episode, the listeners die of desire to listen to the symphony or the opera we have talked about.”
