ENERGIA
the new album by tenor José Carreras



For thirty years, José Carreras has been regarded as one of the great artists of our time. ENERGIA is his latest masterpiece. Featuring songs that Carreras has never song before, ENERGIA shows a new side to the world-famous tenor. He is accompanied by a symphony orchestra and by solo instruments and choirs from the different regions where the songs originate.

“The most important thing is interpreting the lyrics—giving each word and sentence the right meaning. ” (José Carreras 1979)

On ENERGIA, Carreras only sings in languages that he enjoys speaking. This ensures that he can intuitively grasp and adequately interpret the lyrics’ “vibrations” and energies.

“A number of my colleagues sing languages they don’t understand one word of. That’s quite daunting. I admire them, but I couldn’t work that way.” (José Carreras 1987)
