Very little news was the Galician composer Gaos Andrés (La Coruña, 1874 - Mar del Plata, 1959) until about twenty years ago a first recording Print your night by the Orchestra of the Stuttgart Radio , which followed in 1994 another Víctor Pablo Pérez and Galicia Symphony, began broadcasting the image of a composer connecting to through music of remarkable refinement, made of lyricism and nostalgia, with a recognizable romantic tradition within the ambit of the twentieth century, which was reminiscent of Mahler, Barber and, going back, Edvard Grieg, one of the composers who Gaos admired.

As usual, there were bands (especially the Galician) to publicize what concerts and new recordings that remarkable poem symphonic, but did not worry too much deeper into the legacy of the musician. This double CD Music Column seal reunites with Víctor Pablo Galicia Symphony comes to alleviating some of this neglect. This includes all (or nearly all) of the symphonic music of a composer who first highlighted as a violinist, which as a student became nothing less than Jesus de Monasterio and Eugène Ysaÿe , and spent most part of his life in Argentina, where he arrived for the first time at just 21 years.

orchestral Gaos The corpus includes two symphonies, the first of which was born in the turn of the century and was later repudiated by the composer (not released until 2005). The work, in three movements, is close to the world of formal rigor of the Schola Cantorum in Paris , where the musician spent a year, and although it is somewhat repetitive, is heard today with some interest. The 2 nd , subtitled In the mountains of Galicia , was composed between 1917 and 1919, and is based on popular songs of his native region, resulting in more concise, fresh and colorful.

From the time he composed his First Symphony 1, data show a movement of the composer never to complete, so it has been recovered as Fantasy for violin and orchestra (in reviewing Joamar Trillo), a work that combines the lyricism characteristic of the author's virtuosity and impeccably played here the concertmaster of the Galician training Massimo Spadano. Granada, the Alhambra twilight is a symphonic poem which was very successful at the time of its release and came to join in a somewhat later (1916) to symphonic alhambrismo of Chapí , Breton or Monastery. In it, together with typical oriental brightness sound, do not miss this lyrical house brand, which overflows into the other symphonic poem that night Printing for strings in 1937 that Mahler sounds so intensely. The album is completed with the old Suite (1901), orchestration of three piano pieces of a cycle to which is added the fourth, which has become the orchestra Gaos Guillochon Andrew, son of the teacher.
