Arturo Márquez (b. 1950)
Danzones Nos. 1-5, 8
Octeto Malandro
La Pasión Según San Juan de Letrán
Orquesta Mexicana de las Artes
Eduardo García Barrios, conductor
Arturo Márquez is a mexican composer known for his series of symphonic danzones, a traditional genre of music and dance that originated in Cuba and is now a staple of mexican culture.
This is incredibly beautiful music, with a very distinct personality and harmonic language. The orchestration is nothing short of superb, and the Danzon No. 2 is easily one of the finest Mexican orchestral pieces ever written.
Anyone who enjoys Latin-American music like Ginastera or Villa-Lobos, or Mexican music like Moncayo and Revueltas, will adore this.
