Search - Juan Crisostomo Arriaga, Paul Dombrecht, Il Fondamento :: Juan Crisóstomo de Arriaga: Musica para Orquesta, 1818-1824

After their highly acclaimed recordings of Arriaga's complete works, Paul Dombrecht and his splendid Il Fondamento ensemble bring his orchestral works to us with the same level of performance. With their unique mixture of lyricism and science, breathtaking from such a young composer, the four works assembled here build a most welcome integral recording on period instruments, performed with the most communicative warmth from scores scrupulously based on the original transcripts. The program is obviously dominated by the symphony, which can be put on the same level as Schubert's contemporary masterworks. This CD belongs to the collection Los Siglos de Oro initiated by Fundación Caja Madrid.
