Description:

Amargos: Northern Concerto, and othersBorn in Barcelona in 1959, composer Amargos [1950] wears many hats as an arranger, pianist, clarinetist, and conductor. His works are dynamic, incorporating elements of jazz and flamenco; while the percussion rhythms are striking, they naturally demand unimaginable virtuosity from the soloists as well.Boltz [1943] was born in Sweden. He places great importance on melodic lines rooted in Nordic folk songs, has composed numerous vocal works, and has also produced many masterpieces for orchestra.American composer Stuckey [1949] won the Pulitzer Prize in 2005 for his Concerto for a Second Orchestra and has received commissions from numerous orchestras.
