Grup21 - Contemporary Music without Borders
I am pleased to announce the release of this new CD by Grup21 of a radio recorded concert. To order your copy, please go to Solfa Recordings or send an e-mail to info@grup21music.com.
Grup21 has other recording projects in the works: We will be finishing a recording of three flute concerti this year (two of which were written for me). Jorge Liderman dedicated our first chamber concerto, Flautando, to myself and Grup21, and Narcís Bonet wrote Triptic de Sinera upon my request. Also, I recently returned from Bratislava where I recorded the wonderful Concerto Jalisco by Carl Mansker with the Radio Orchestra.
We will also be recording a great classic of 20th century Catalonian music, La Pell de Brau (1967) by Narcís Bonet, with Columna Música.
Many of the pieces written for Grup21 are published in "The Grup XXI Collection" of Dinsic Publications. The chamber concertos that have been published to date: Flautando for flute by Jorge Liderman, Chamber Concerto for piano by Anthony Newman, Piccolo Concerto for violin by Agustí Charles, and the recently premiered Caprichos No. 7 for clarinet by Leonardo Balada.
Other works written for Grup21 and published by Dinsic: Septet de Setembre by Francesca Taverna-Bech, In Process by Octavi Rumbau, and my own Petita Suite for the Catalonian cobla instruments.
It is indeed gratifying to be creating these new works for Grup21 and then publishing them so that this music can go out into the world!
Please go to www.grup21music.com , listen to our wide variety of audio samples and check our video clips out too! We are just starting to translate it from Catalan to Spanish and English, so bear with us.
You can also take a look at our videoclips, as well as a recent performance of La Pell de Brau by Bonet.
