Good Works from a Less Than Familiar Composer

"The name of composer, Anton Garcia Abril, is far from a household word. However, as this CD demonstrates, it is not because of lack of quality of his compositions.The Marco Polo label has taken on the task of releasing recordings of works by composers who have remained undeservedly obscure, or, in some cases, lesser known works by better known composers. In this case, it has made available works by Abril, which, in all liklihood, would have otherwise remained hidden away, and which we would have been denied the opportunity to hear. For this and other such recordings, Marco Polo is to be applauded.As a consequence, we can sit back and discover a new composer, whose works are an enjoyable and satisfying experience."
