_______________________________________________________________________
This is the second Tzadik release of music by one of the most
original and under-appreciated composers of the twentieth
century. With his passing in 2004, several of his most
passionate musical collaborators have been continuing MacedaÆs
legacy and they come together here to present his most
ambitious and greatest large scale workùStrata. Beautifully
recorded In Manila at the University of the Philippines
directed by MacedaÆs long-time collaborator Ram⌠n Santos and
Mills College colleague Chris Brown, this is a long awaited
follow-up to the seminal Gongs and Bamboo release from 2001.
Also included are two beautifully recorded pieces for western
instruments from MacedaÆs last decadeùSujeichon for five
pianos based largely on Korean court music, and Music for Two
Pianos and Four Percussion Groups. Another essential release
by this maverick compositional master.
Personnel:
Up Contemporary Music Players
Ramon P. Santos: Conductor
The Mills Performing Group
