Sierra / Guth / Puerto Rico Symphony Orchestra - Sierra: Symphony No. 3 La Salsa - Boriken - Beyond - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The sonic color and distinctive rhythms enshrined in these four works provide further evidence of the art of internationally acclaimed Puerto Rican composer, Roberto Sierra. The award-winning Sinfonia No. 3 "La Salsa" owes it's inspiration to the music of the Spanish Caribbean and is a salsa of older and newer rhythms, intoxicatingly presented amidst revelry and dance. The instrumentally vivid Boriken is based on the baroqu echaconne but with a Latin twist, while El Baile invokes traditional music in a wholly distinctive way. Beyond the Silence of Sorrow is a captivatingly lyrical song cycle. Album Tracks 1. Tumbao 2. Habanera 3. Danzas 4. Jolgorio 5. Borikén 6. El Baile 7. 1. Prayer to the Land 8. 2.
