Ernesto Cordero: Caribbean Concertos (Naxos Audio CD)  

Caribbean Concertos for Guitar and for Violin

Pepe Romero, guitar
Guillermo Figueroa, violin
I Solisti di Zagreb


Puerto Rican composer and guitarist Ernesto Cordero dedicated his Concierto Festivo to celebrated soloist Pepe Romero, who describes the work as having ‘divine inspiration’. These works derive their warmth of expression and rhythmic influence from the composer’s native Caribbean island, and the two violin concertos lnsula and Concerto Tropical both contain descriptive elements from landscape and nature. lnsula is dedicated to renowned violinist and conductor Guillermo Figueroa, and I Solisti di Zagreb are recognised as one of the world’s leading chamber orchestras.
