Caprichos Enfáticos

Description

Percussion 1, Percussion 2, Percussion 3, Percussion 4, Piano — A Meet The Composer commission led to Bresnick's 8-movement evocation for pianist Lisa Moore and the So Percussion. From the San Francisco Chronicle: "Martin Bresnick's fierce instrumental cycle for piano and percussion ensemble takes its inspiration from Goya's etchings of the ravages of war - not only in its movement titles and subject matter but also in its dexterous combination of folk strains and dark, almost expressionist howls of outrage." For more information, watch the composer discussing the creative process on YouTube, or watch a presentation of the work here.
