Brouwer: Music for Bandurria and Guitar
Pedro Chamorro, bandurria; Pedro Mateo González, guitar (Naxos)
Cuban
folk music, 20th-century Modernism, children’s songs and the works of
the Chilean poet and activist Victor Jara are some of the influences
behind this captivating collection of music by the Cuban composer Leo Brouwer
(born in 1939) for guitar and bandurria, a type of lute popular in the
16th century. There’s great confidence in the way Mr. Brouwer
assimilates all this into a compositional voice that is above all fresh,
curious and optimistic. CORINNA DA FONSECA-WOLLHEIM
