 PORTUGUESE CHAMBER MUSIC OF THE XXI – Vol. IV
This CD is the fourth volume of live recordings with pieces commissioned to Portuguese composers by the Sond’Ar-te Electric Ensemble. 4 composers born between 1961 and 1972, each one with a distinctive voice, and clearly representative of the rich, refined and unique new music currently being composed in Portugal. 4 works composed within the last 10 years, most of them gathering electronic means with the acoustic instruments of the core ensemble: flute, clarinet, violin, cello and piano.
