A year to remember

Over the course of the year 2004 there have been numerous performances of Jesús Rueda’s works, several of which merit special mention. Last May James MacMillan conducted the Spanish Radio and Television (RTVE) Orchestra in a performance of Rueda’s 1st Symphonies and 2nd Symphonie.

The prestigious Arditti String Quartet also honoured him with a concert consisting entirely of his quartets in September at the Alicante Contemporary Music Festival. Finally, the Cadaqués Orchestra, conducted by Gianandrea Noseda, performed his work Elephant Skin during their tour of Spain this past October. The main concert was held at the Madrid Auditorio as part of the Ibermúsica concert season.

Tritó has come to an agreement with the Ernest Lluch Foundation to release a CD in honour of Mr Lluch, an intellectual, music-lover and leading figure in our culture who died tragically four years ago. The recording will include a symphony by Ferran Sor, one of Lluch’s favourite composers, plus six orchestral works by other Catalan composers from the 18th-century, a period for which he had a special passion. The composers are Carles Baguer, Domènec Terradellas, Josep Duran and the brothers Joan, Josep and Manuel Pla, and all the works have been recorded for the first time. The CD will come out before Christmas.
