Amernet Quartet - Orlando Jacinto Garcia: String Quartets No. 1-3

The music of the Cuban-American composer Orlando Jacinto Garcia inhabits a sonic universe of its very own, one where the musical landscape is constructed in order to evoke a thorough suspension of time. The three works on the present release correspond almost precisely to the past three decades of Garcia�s career and thus present for the interpreter and listener alike a kind of survey of his development. Garcia�s mentor and teacher was Morton Feldman and the aesthetic of Feldman and his inspiration are preoccupations which color several of Garcia�s compositions.
