“The present record brings together two masters of the so-called Generation of ’51 (now in their eighties and fiveties) and two others of the more recent generation (those in their sixties).
A disciple of Conrado del Campo, Cristóbal Halffter (1930-2021) belongs to a dynasty of names in Spanish music (his uncles Rodolfo and Ernesto, a disciple of Falla); Luis de Pablo (1930-2021), a student of Max Deutsch, carried out a transcendental work of diffusion through Alea, a philharmonic society dedicated to the promotion of avant-garde music and founded in 1964 the first Spanish laboratory of electronic music.
Both are prominent members of the group of creators who drastically renewed the composition after the cultural and political isolation in which the country had been left as a result of the triumph of the fascist insurrection of 1936. Halffter has German ancestors, Panisello (1963) is from Buenos Aires, but has lived in Madrid for more than a decade. De Pablo is from Bilbao (and Madrid by adoption since the forties) and Sánchez Verdú (1968), from Algeciras, but a resident of Berlin (and Madrid) and professor of composition in Düsseldorf […].”
