LA INTERPRETACIÓN DE EDUARDO PANIAGUA<br />

La interpretación contemporánea <strong>de</strong> <strong>la</strong> <strong>música</strong> medieval<br />

obliga al músico a una reflexión epistemológica superior<br />

a <strong>la</strong> necesaria para otras épocas musicales. La musicología<br />

no es unitaria y <strong>la</strong>s opciones inevitablemente van unidas<br />

a <strong>la</strong> experimentación. El género literario musical, los<br />

códigos paleográficos <strong>de</strong> <strong>la</strong> notación <strong>de</strong> los manuscritos<br />

y <strong>la</strong> tímbrica aventurada sobre <strong>la</strong>s investigaciones<br />

organológicas, obligan a que <strong>la</strong> personalidad <strong>de</strong> los<br />

músicos prácticos, mas que otros elementos, marquen <strong>la</strong><br />

diferencia conceptual y sonora <strong>de</strong> <strong>la</strong> <strong>of</strong>erta musical <strong>de</strong> <strong>la</strong><br />

Edad Media.<br />

Eduardo Paniagua, nacido en Madrid en 1952, es<br />

arquitecto y especialista <strong>de</strong> <strong>la</strong> <strong>música</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>la</strong> España<br />

medieval. A los 16 años graba sus primeros cuatro discos<br />

con el grupo Atrium Musicae. Miembro fundador <strong>de</strong> los<br />

grupos Cá<strong>la</strong>mus y Hoquetus, se especializa en <strong>la</strong> <strong>música</strong><br />

arábigo-andaluza. En 1994 crea los grupos MÚSICA<br />

ANTIGUA e IBN BÁYA, este último codirigido<br />

con el <strong>la</strong>udista Omar Metioui, para el trabajo musical<br />

sobre <strong>la</strong>s Cantigas <strong>de</strong> Alfonso X y <strong>la</strong> <strong>música</strong> andalusí<br />

respectivamente.<br />

En paralelo funda y dirige el sello discográfico PNEUMA<br />

con el que comienza a editar sus más <strong>de</strong> 100 producciones<br />

musicales,. Por su trabajo musical a favor <strong>de</strong> <strong>la</strong> convivencia<br />

<strong>de</strong> culturas ha recibido en Octubre <strong>de</strong> 2004 <strong>la</strong> Medal<strong>la</strong><br />

<strong>de</strong> <strong>la</strong>s cuatro Sinagogas Sefardíes <strong>de</strong> Jerusalem, y por<br />

<strong>la</strong> difusión <strong>de</strong> estas <strong>música</strong>s inéditas está recibiendo<br />

excelentes críticas y premios internacionales, siendo<br />

nominado como Mejor Artista <strong>de</strong> Música Clásica en los<br />

Premios <strong>de</strong> <strong>la</strong> Aca<strong>de</strong>mia <strong>de</strong> <strong>la</strong> Música en los años 1997,<br />

THE INTERPRETATION OF EDUARDO<br />

PANIAGUA<br />

Contemporary interpretation <strong>of</strong> Medieval music <strong>de</strong>mands <strong>of</strong> the<br />

musician an epistemological reflection greater than that necessary<br />

when interpreting music from other periods. Musicology is not<br />

a unitary science, and alternatives are necessarily associated to<br />

experimentation. The musical literary genre, the paleographic co<strong>de</strong>s<br />

<strong>of</strong> the notation <strong>of</strong> the manuscripts, and the variations <strong>of</strong> timbre<br />

ventured on the basis <strong>of</strong> organological research exp<strong>la</strong>in why it is<br />

the personality <strong>of</strong> the musicians themselves, more than any other<br />

element, that makes the difference, in conceptual and sonorous<br />

terms, in Medieval music.<br />

Eduardo Paniagua, born in Madrid in 1952, is an architect as<br />

well as a specialist in the music <strong>of</strong> Medieval Spain. By the age<br />

<strong>of</strong> 16 he had ma<strong>de</strong> his first four recordings with Atrium Musicae.<br />

As a foun<strong>de</strong>r member <strong>of</strong> the groups Ca<strong>la</strong>mus and Hoquetus, he<br />

specialised in Arab-Andalusian music, participating in festivals<br />

in both Spain and the Arab world. In 1994 he created the<br />

groups MUSICA ANTIGUA and IBN BAYA to work on<br />

the Cantigas <strong>of</strong> Alfonso X, Andalusi music (music from Moorish<br />

Spain) and other music from the Middle Ages and Renaissance.<br />

At the same time he foun<strong>de</strong>d and directed the record <strong>la</strong>bel<br />

PNEUMA which now boasts more than 100 musical<br />

productions.<br />

As well as international awards Eduardo has received excellent<br />

reviews from the critics for his work and publication <strong>of</strong> this<br />

previously un-released music. He is consi<strong>de</strong>red “a cultural<br />

ambassador” by his country for his contribution to the dialogue<br />

between Mediterranean cultures and was nominated Best<br />

C<strong>la</strong>ssical Music Artist in the Awards <strong>of</strong> the Aca<strong>de</strong>my <strong>of</strong> Spanish<br />

music in 1997, 2000 and 2004.
