Jorge E. L�pez - Kampfhandlungen/Traumhandlungen Op. 11 & II. Kammersymphonie

With its 52-minute duration, L�pez's Second Chamber Symphony Op. 23 'A Vegso; Tavasz' is the central work on this disc, drawing inspiration from various sources. This is the world premiere recording of this work as well as of the ensemble piece Kampfhandlungen / Traumhandlungen Op. 11 [Scenes of Combat / Tissue of Dreams], which is marked by dark colors and sharp contrasts.

Born in Cuba, Jorge E. L�pez was raised in the USA and lives in Austria today. Although he studied composition at the California Institute of the Arts, he describes himself as an autodidact. Extra-musical influences play a large role in his music, which doesn't fit neatly into any categories or schools of New Music.
