Víctor Ibarra: The Dimension of the Fragile
Victor Ibarra's music, by producing cuts, cracks, outbreaks, and eruptions, erodes the conditions of common listening. It is characterized by sudden changes and contrasts, but is held together by a strong energy. Víctor Ibarra is professor of composition at the University of Guanajuato in his native country Mexico. His career has taken him to numerous European centers for New Music, where he has received several awards. With this recording of the Ensemble Vertixe Sonora under Nacho de Paz there is now a monographic CD of the remarkable Mexican composer.18,00 € Buy product -
Semina Rerum: Italian Baroque Violin Sonatas
This recording charts a path through the sonatas for violin and basso continuo composed by eight composers born in Italy, the epicentre of the genre’s experimentation at the time. Most of these composers were also violin virtuosos, true explorers and connoisseurs of their instrument, and several enjoyed an international career that led them to publish beyond the Alps. One of the recording’s key unifying elements is the exploration of the D minor key, with the only exception of two sonatas in the neighbouring D major and A major keys, three particularly idiomatic tonalities that favour the instrument’s natural resonance.14,95 € Buy product -
Death and (Re) Birth of J.S. Bach
While the study and redefinition of the notion of authorship and its relationship to the idea of the literary work have played a central role in recent research on literature, semiotics, and related disciplines, its impact on contemporary musicology is still limited. Why? What implications would a reconsideration of the author- and work-concepts have on our understanding of the creative musical processes?50,00 € Buy product -
Perspectivas Filosófico-Temporales
This article presents an analysis of Tomás Marco's Dúo concertante no 3 influenced by Henri Bergson and Theodor W. Adorno's temporal telos that articulates a critical consideration of musical time. It intends to lead, by means of an abstract and fragmentary study of its most relevant elements, to a time-based understanding of the similarly fragmented structure of Marco's work.19,00 € Buy product -
Music and Politics in the Spain of the 1960s
This article has been conceived as a part of a larger long-term project that aims to develop a new body of research confronting the significant lack of English scholarship on the field of Spanish contemporary music studies. It presents a brief historical analysis of the situation and development of the Spanish musical avant-garde scene of the 1960s and 70s that is then used as the basis for a critical sociological consideration of the relationship between art/music and politics in the final years of Franco’s dictatorship, with particular regard to the work of Tomás Marco, one of the most significant composers in twentieth century Spain.18,00 € Buy product -
Roberto Alonso: Solo Contemporary Violin
This project addresses one of the facets of that continuous search that articulates, at different levels, my relationship with the violin. It aims to gather the current creation that, expanding the instrument’s repertoire, mirrors the voice of the contemporary man, his reflections and his concerns. The project does not take any concrete idea as a point of departure, seeking instead to present works composed (expressly, with the only exception of O Pulcre Facies) with the absolute freedom that allows the composers to explore their own lines of work, their preoccupations, their differences and their unknown similarities.8,00 € Buy product -
