This album has been released to celebrate the 60th birthday of the Sabadell-born composer Benet Casablancas, offering to a wider audience the concert that took place at the Teatre Principal in Sabadell on 3 March 2017. The event was organised by the Jovenuts Musicals de Sabadell with the support of a number of local institutions, including the Town Council, the Fundació Antiga Caixa de Sabadell, Fundació Bosch i Cardellach and Columna Música, with the special collaboration of the classical music station Catalunya Música. The programme featured works for a variety of ensembles, including chamber pieces and compositions for piano and for guitar, five of which are world premiere recordings. These pieces exemplify the composer’s mature style. Some of them are fairly recent, whereas others are representative of other periods, but on the whole they offer a varied and contrasted picture of the author’s personality. Casablancas is widely regarded as one of the most significant composers of his generation, and his oeuvre has been awarded numerous national and international prizes, including the Premio Nacional del Disco del Ministerio de Cultura (1988), Premio Ciudad de Barcelona de Música (1992) and Premi Nacional de Música de la Generalitat de Catalunya (2007). He was also shortlisted for the Prix Prince Pierre de Monaco de Composition (2007) and the Premio Nacional de Música de España (2013). The quality of the performers, featuring the Solistes de l’Orquestra Simfònica del Vallès, actor and theatre director Albert González, soloists Francisco Martínez (sax), David Casanova (piano), Joan Collell (bass), Pablo de Giusto (guitar), Jordi Masó (piano), led by maestro Santiago Serrate, guarantees the artistic excellence of the CD you are holding now.
