Description:

The second collection of Catalan wind band works was created in response to the great popularity of the first collection (8.573547). Again, conductor Brotons presents works by contemporary Catalan composers, all of which are world premiere recordings. Monsalvatche's "Music for Sunday" was written, as the title suggests, for a concert held every Sunday afternoon at the Musica de Catalunya. From the humorous first movement to the festive mood of the third movement, the music is enriched by the percussion section. Jocs tematics" by Amargos is a work that can be translated as "thematic games. It is a unique piece in which themes that appear in fragments gradually come together. Elisenda Fabregas is one of Catalonia's leading female composers. She currently lives in Seoul, where she teaches younger composers. Symphony No. 1" begins with an impressive first movement with a heroic fanfare, followed by a lyrical second movement, a dynamic third movement, and a frenetic final movement. Bertrand's work, which takes the form of a double bass concerto, is placed last and consists of five sections, making full use of the sound of the double bass. Naxos Japan
