García: Music for Chorus and Orchestra

Malaga Philharmonic Orchestra;
Serebrier, José;

TOCC 0239

Miami-based Orlando Jacinto García was born in Havana in 1954 and studied with Morton Feldman. He has inherited some of Feldman’s concerns: his music likewise evolves gradually over slow-moving spans of time, unfolding like the leaves of a plant, generating colours as with the gentle turning of a kaleidoscope. • The elegiac Auschwitz (they will never be forgotten), a meditation for chorus and orchestra, captures something of the infinite sorrow evoked by the memory of such institutionalised cruelty. Varadero Memories is an abstract recollection of a Cuban beach where as a child he spent time with his grandparents. The hypnotic In Memoriam Earle Brown pays elegant, understated tribute to a seminal figure in American modernism. • This CD welcomes José Serebrier to the Toccata Classics roster of artists. Grammy-winning conductor and composer José Serebrier is one of most recorded classical artists in history. He has received 37 Grammy nominations in recent years: all his recent recordings have received multiple Grammy nominations. One of the most recorded conductors ever, he has now made over 300 hundred recordings.
