Impressions simfòniques
Juli Garreta (1875 - 1925)
(6 reviews)
The Catalan composer Juli Garreta has been well by the composition of sardanas, but his orchestral work has to be attended.
Illes Medes was premiered in 1923 in Palau de la Música Catalana eith Pau Casals as conductor.
Although there isn’t a programmatic work, ther is a poetic inspiration to describe a particular time in a landscape.
Impressions simfòniques is the composer’s first orchestral work.
The score of this work remained unpublished for over a century (the first edition was published by Tritó), despite it being premiered in 1907.
Joaquim Rabaseda and Joan Gay , that both recovered and edited the score and the notes of this album, tell us that Juli Garreta was known in his time as the "Wagner of the Sardana."
The performance by the OBC (Symphony Orchestra of Barcelona i Nacional de Catalunya) hand Miquel Ortega as conductor, contribute to make this CD a specially recommended for lovers of symphonic music.

Juan Carlos Moreno, RITMOLas buenas interpretaciones redondean un trabajo ejemplar en favor del patrimonio musical.
Ivan March, GRAMOPHONE"Remarkably individual, delicately easely on the ear ans unexpectedly 'un-Spanish'"...
"This a sea vista of a high order, which becomes more haunting as it becomes really familiar, and this beautifully played and recorded disc is increasingly rewarding"
Andrés Ruíz Tarazona, DIVERDI"... el sello TRITÓ lanza un disco de enorme interés dedicado íntegramente a dos obras de Juli Garreta [...]Ha sido un acierto inmenso recuperar estas dos piezas ignoradas de Garreta [...] La versión de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Bracelona y Nacional de Cataluña, bajo la batuta dle experto maestro, Miquel Ortega, ayuda a percibir a Garreta como el gran compositor que fue."
Josep Pascual, LA PORTA CLÀSSICACal esperar que aquest CD no passi inadvertit i que sigui objecte del reconeixement que mereix.
Jaume Comellas, REVISTA MUSICAL CATALANA"Tenir l'idea de rescatar de l'oblit obra simfònica de juli Garreta constitueix una demostració de sensibilitat i criteri, escassos en la nostra indústria musical"
