TRANSCLASSICAL CONCERTOS

Lucia Caruso, PedroDa Silva and Academy of St Martin in the Fields

Release Date: August 25, 2023

This album features two concertos written in a Transclassical™ style, which combines classical music, improvisation, and elements from various cultures and eras: the first concerto for Portuguese guitar and orchestra by Pedro H. da Silva, and “Light and Wind” Piano Concerto that uses innovative techniques by Lucía Caruso. Nature photography inspired both works, especially the interplay of light and wind, and dusk, night, and dawn, with the orchestration reflecting the change of light and weather. Both works use a variety of devices to create inventive sounds, including an electronic bow, a musical hammer, playing the piano strings like a guitar, and with drumsticks and palms, and more. Rounding out the album are two shorter works: both composers’ joint composition "Folia" for Portuguese guitar, piano, and orchestra, and a special arrangement of "Here Comes the Sun" for Portuguese guitar and strings. Recorded with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields—considered by many the finest chamber orchestra in the world—at the legendary Abbey Road studios on the fiftieth anniversary of the day the Beatles recorded the same song in the same studio.
