Avant Garde Project torrent 131 is up and running

[loudav]

AGP131 features choral and vocal works by three Spanish composers: Felix Ibarrondo, Carmelo Bernaola, and Tómas Marco. The four works by Ibarrondo are drawn from a Harmonia Mundi LP devoted to his compositions. They are choral works that remind me in places of Ligeti's Requiem and the sacred choral works of Penderecki. Sino is my favorite--combining a mixed choir with horns and thundering timani. The works by Bernaola and Marco are drawn from the same 2LP set as Al son que tocan by Luis de Pablo from AGP17. The works in that set are all homages to the great Spanish poet Antonio Machado. They feature a combination of individual speaking and singing voices with choral passages, and a glittery instrumental ensemble dominated by percussion and plucked string instruments.

Enjoy!

The AGP will be ritually immured in ice for a few weeks following the solstice. Look for the next installment around January 16th.
