João Rosa - three composers from algarve

Contemporary portuguese music for piano

I-Tunes:

This new disc of solo piano works offers a noteworthy introduction to a young pianist who will, no doubt, continue to be an important advocate for the Contemporary Portuguese music of our time. This series of world-premiere recordings presents a variety of approaches from three different composers from the Algarve, ranging from the neo-classicism of Joaquim Galvão’s Sonatina to the neo-modernism of Cristóvão Silva’s Variações, or Tiago Cutileiro’s stylistic approximation to some American experimental music from the 1970’s. Most of the pieces were composed quite recently - with the pianist João Rosa in mind - and his performances demonstrate the individual approach that only a dedicatee can offer such new repertoire.
