About

Revueltas and Copland wrote prolifically for film, and these scores are their greatest achievements in the medium. The scores were crafted for two of the most formidable and politically motivated films of the time. Redes is a story of victimized fishermen in Mexico – and the subject matter drew from Revueltas passionate music that Copland himself admiringly described as ‘vibrant and colorful’. The City is a documentary that reveals the musical missing link between Copland’s ‘urban’ and ‘country’ idioms, prescient of minimalism, and masterly in construction and effect. Without narration or dialogue, both scores are heard here for the first time in full.

**** Excellent Album

Romaric Gergorin – Classica magazine (France) – July/August 2022

“… the set is an intriguing snapshot of some rarities. Revueltas and Copland wrote prolifically for film, and the scores here were crafted for two of the most formidable and politically motivated films of the time.”

Barry Forshaw – CD Choice.co.uk – 21 April 2022

“… Having a recording of Copland’s The City is a pleasant bonus, but the real reason to buy this disc is for the revelatory performance of Revueltas’ Redes…”
