Author: Guzmán, Josep Lluís
The variable order of the twelve tones of the chromatic scale is very present in the construction of both preludes, but simultaneously maintains an harmonic cadential substrate.
Author: Capdevila, Mercè
The work Corn d'or comprises quick, compressed sounds whose density means they can be listened to en masse. In the slow moments the mass deflates and softens, the sound expands and separates, breaking off in the form of phrases, or isolated sounds, with different properties, directions and levels.
Author: Soler, Josep
Two themes inspired by Verdi serve to create different variations and juxtapositions, which never appear in the same way.
Author: Soler, Josep
The work is based on a summary of four songs from the Llibre Vermell (Red Book) by Montserrat.
Author: Soler, Josep
The possibilities of the piano within the grave range had been explored by several composers throughout the 20th century, but on this occasion, Soler’s music seeks out expressiveness rather than virtuosity.
Author: Soler, Josep
The work Au pays de la soif et de la peur is wonderfully expressive and unfolds in slow movements, making use of the full breadth of the two instruments’ ranges. Although he does not seek virtuosity, the performance of the work demands the utmost of performers, and above all, requires an extreme rapport.
Author: Soler, Josep
Harmonices Mundi deals with the fugue in all its possibilities, often on its own, but also with preludes, associated to dances or within a partita.

Author: Ortega, Miquel
The four Cançons sobre poemes de García Lorca (Songs on poems of García Lorca) by Miquel Ortega are written in a style that we might call post-falla, with evident Spanish roots, essentially Andalusian, given the nature of the poems.
Author: Oltra, Manuel
The general inspiration of the piece stems from traditional music, although no traditional theme is referred to at any point during the piece. It could be described as a stroll (a suite) through various environments and atmospheres which abound with good taste that commences with a delicate, albeit rhythmic prelude introducing the two main elements on...
Author: Borgunyó, Agustí
Two Pieces for String Orchestra have all the charm of Agustí Borgunyó’s language: simplicity, freshness, elegance and direct communication without any kind of speculative interest, with a very Mediterranean air permeating them from the first bar.
Author: Mestres Quadreny, Josep M.
Signe d’anells (2007) responds to the particular language used by Mestres Quadreny as well as the writing techniques which he has been faithful to all his life. This eloquent creation is supported by dodecaphonic elements but these are not only the unique elements...
