Jana Jarkovska; Simon Reitmaier; Ana Maria Valderrama; David Fonas; Miklos Szitha; Fabio Banegas; Anima Musicae Chamber Orchestra ; Francisco Varela - Eduardo Grau: Concertos for Soloists and String Orchestra

The music of Spanish-Argentine composer Eduardo Grau is imbued with Hispanic elements. His Concerto of 'Yuste' for Violin, Piano and Timpani was inspired by the Spanish monastery of its title and is notable for its rhythmic drive, lyricism and mystical atmosphere. The Concertino for Viola and Piano is deeply expressive and intimate, while folkloric dances from Argentina are used in the Concerto for Clarinet including the vivacious chacarera. The verses of Spanish Golden Age poet Garcilaso de la Vega provided the inspiration for Grau's To the Flower of Gnido for Flute and Piano.
