Trio Arbos - Evocacion del viejo Madrid

The so-called �Generation of 27� (the musical rather than the literary generation) or the �Generation of the Republic� brought together a substantial group of composers with shared lines of style and thinking, gathered for the most part around the geographical poles of Madrid and Barcelona. All shared a wish to renew music in Spain and a desire to place it on the international level it deserved, taking as a model the revered figure of Manuel de Falla in whose last period they recognised that cosmopolitism rooted in a truly Spanish essence, providing them with a guideline for the development of their artistic concerns. For composers from Madrid, or those resident in that city, added to that influential presence must be the extraordinary work of Conrado del Campo, professor at the Royal Conservatory, and teacher of the main figures of the �Madrid Group� (Bacarisse, Remacha, Bautista), along with the three composers included on this disc.
