Phace * 8 Canarian Composers [New CD]

The new album 8 CANARIAN COMPOSERS, performed by the acclaimed Phace ensemble under the direction of Nacho de Paz, offers a unique journey through contemporary composition linked to the Canary Islands. Eight composers-Cecilia Díaz Pestano, Dori Díaz Jerez, Gustavo Díaz Jerez, José Luis Perdigón de Paz, Laura Vega, Juan Manuel Ruiz, Leandro Martín, and Rubens Askenar-present a kaleidoscope of musical languages that reveal the vitality and diversity of today's creation.Far from regional or stylistic labels, the project invites us to listen to how territory, memory, and personal experience continue to resonate in contemporary sound. The works, inspired by motherhood, the sea, science, folklore, and spirituality, showcase multiple ways of inhabiting and reimagining music from the islands.With Phace-resident ensemble at the Wiener Konzerthaus-delivering extraordinary precision and artistry, and Nacho de Paz, one of Spain's leading conductors of new music, shaping it's expressive landscape, 8 CANARIAN COMPOSERS becomes both a portrait of a living scene and a reflection on the creative power of place.
