La Casa de Parra

[Mandryka]

Very impressed by this Spanish composer - Hèctor Parra.  My attention has been grabbed by this CD from Ensemble Recherche, which contains a wonderful long piece called L'aube assaillie - for cello and tape.




The idiom is familiar - Richard Barrett vibes and even strong Jonathan Harvey vibes - but there's something new too and it seems to me accessible, coherent, flowing music,  and well done.

Anyway, I'm not sure this thread will come to much, I'm not sure there is very much music available to hear, but here's a place to put ideas about this interesting composer.
