Composer:
Juan de Araujo

Artist(s):
Ex Cathedra

Conductor:
Jeffrey Skidmore

Background: 'For fire burning in snow is the effect of love'. The final line of Juan de Araujo’s Dime amor gives this recording its title and conjures up the passion and dramatic contrasts which make this disc such a delight. Ex Cathedra's uplifting recordings of Latin American Baroque polyphony are infectiously energetic and dazzlingly stylish.

Araujo has been described by many commentators as the greatest Latin American composer of the age, although much of his music is still rarely performed. Little is known about the man (he was a disruptive student in Lima and involved in litigation in La Plata), and there is almost certainly more material to uncover. He was born in Spain in 1648 and emigrated at a young age to South America with his parents. After a period as organist at Lima Cathedral he lived in Panama and Cuzco, where a few of his manuscripts are found, and from 1680 he spent the last thirty-two years of his life as organist at the cathedral of La Plata, now known as the Bolivian judicial capital of Sucre.
