About

A RAVISHING WORK FOR CHORUS AND GUITAR HIGHLIGHTS THIS BEAUTIFULLY PERFORMED RECORDING.

Christopher Theofanidis' music has been performed by many of the world's leading performing arts organizations. He is a two-time Grammy nominee for best composition and his work for viola and chamber orchestra won the 2021 Grammy for Best Classical Instrumental Solo. He is on the faculty at Yale University and the Aspen Music Festival. Italian guitarist Nicolò Spera initiated this project of recording all of Theofanidis' music for guitar, which includes a work for viola, guitar, and flute; a work for flute and guitar; and a large work for chorus and guitar. Spera enjoys a distinguished career as a recitalist and chamber musician. He is known for his research on the Franco-Andalusian composer Maurice Ohana. He is on the faculty of the University of Colorado Boulder. EXIGENCE is a professional vocal ensemble highlighting artistry within Black and Latinx communities.

Reviews

“… Guitarist Nicolò Spera and his colleagues all perform with sensitivity and skill, and bring off these challenging works superbly…”

David DeBoor Canfield – Fanfare – March/April 2024

“… This is music that deserves to be heard everywhere – an example of an excellent collaboration between a spirited guitarist and substantial composer who speaks in a contemporary language that encourages listeners to expand their musical vocabulary without overwhelming them. Bravo!”

Jim McCutcheon – American Record Guide – January/February 2024
