Salgado: Chamber Music, Vol. 2 - CD

Luis Humberto Salgado was one of Ecuador's most influential composers. His output encompasses nearly every genre of western European concert music, and seamlessly blends both nationalist and modernist styles. Most of these miniature pieces were inspired by the musical folklore of Salgado's home country, while works such as the Sanjuanito futurista and the Violin Sonata are more modernist. From the lullaby Aldita to the folk-dance infused Piano Quintet No. 2, these world premiere recordings reveal a vibrant and creative voice.
