Leo Brouwer : "Recuerdos de Lieja" : Piazzolla, La Muerte del Angel (Live in Lukowski Festival) (4:58)
The Afro-Cuban composer, classical guitarist and conductor Leo Brouwer was named Juan Leovigildo Brouwer when he came into the world in Havana, Cuba on March 1, 1939. He is featured at AfriClassical.com.
His enormous influence on guitar music in particular and classical
music in general is demonstrated by more than a hundred recordings on
which he has played, composed or conducted. Brouwer's compositions
reflect classical, Afro-Cuban, jazz and avant-garde influences. His many
film scores have brought his music to the attention of a huge audience
around the world. Brouwer's influence in his native country results in
part from the important positions he has held in Cuban music
institutions.
The sheet music of Leo Brouwer is available from Chester Novello, www.chesternovello.com. It is hugely popular with professional and amateur guitarists alike. In 2012 Leo Brouwer continued his series of chamber music festivals with the IV Leo Brouwer Festival of Chamber Music held in Havana October 3-13, 2012.
