About

Luis Carlos Figueroa, born in 1923, is one of the senior figures in Colombian music, much esteemed as a composer, pianist and teacher. His works marry spontaneous lyrical charm – perhaps with a French twist from his student days in Paris – with vibrant South American folk influences, thus siting him downstream from Canteloube and Villa-Lobos.

His 1986 Piano Concerto, for example, combines rhythms from the Caribbean and the Valle del Cauca around his hometown of Medellin with classical forms and structures, creating a work full of passion and energy.

The String Quartet is a first recording; the other works, all newly recorded for this CD, have been released only on Colombian labels before now.
