Miami-based Orlando Jacinto García, born in Havana, Cuba in 1954 studied with Morton Feldman. He has inherited some of Feldman’s concerns: his music likewise evolves gradually over slow-moving spans of time, unfolding like the leaves of a plant, generating colors as with the gentle turning of a kaleidoscope. The elegiac Auschwitz (they will never be forgotten), a meditation for chorus and orchestra, captures something of the infinite sorrow evoked by the memory of such institutionalized cruelty. Varadero Memories is an abstract recollection of a Cuban beach where as a child he spent time with his grandparents. The hypnotic In Memoriam Earle Brown pays elegant understated tribute to a seminal figure in American modernism. This CD welcomes Grammy-winning conductor and composer José Serebrier to the Toccata Classics roster of artists. Mr. Serebrier is one of most recorded classical artists in history: he has now made over 300 hundred recordings and received 37 Grammy nominations in recent years. The Málaga Philharmonic Orchestra gave its first concert in 1991 and performs a wide range of Spanish, international and contemporary repertoire.
