Info zu Chávez: Sinfonia India, Sinfonia de Antigona & Sinfonia Romantica (Remastered)

Recorded in demonstration quality sound at New York's Manhattan Center in 1959 with the Stadium Symphony Orchestra of New York (largely the New York Philharmonic Orchestra), Chavez draws playing of rich exoticism and brilliant panache – really, this is hard to beat.

"Carlos Chavez was, along with Silvestre Revueltas, one this century's two greatest Mexican composers. He was a good friend of Copland, whose music his first two symphonies strongly resembles. Unlike Revueltas, whose almost expressionistically frantic compositions reflect the composer's own wildly excessive (and short) lifestyle, Chavez enjoyed a calm and respectful existence as a composer and teacher. He composed six symphonies, all of them inspired by the folk music of Mexico, but like Bartók he integrated those influences into a wholly personal musical style. These performances are excellently played by what is in effect the New York Philharmonic, and the sound has held up very well." (David Hurwitz, ClassicalToday)
