In the history of music, Vicente Martín y Soler is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Vicente Martín y Soler as Spanish composer (1754–1806).
Vicente Martín y Soler was born at Valencia in 1754. His recorded nationality is Spain.
The concert hall and the public audience were new in this period; music was beginning to be written for buyers rather than employers.
He worked as composer, choreographer and organist.
His work is classed as opera.
Performance is the most perishable art and recording the most durable; a career sits between the two.
That the work came out of Spain shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Vicente Martín y Soler died in 1806, aged 52. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
