Accents

On this record you’ll find the compositional accents of six composers who have shared a century, the 20th, but who have captured it in their music in very diverse ways. You’ll also find the interpretative accents of four young Catalans eager to show the fruits of years of study and labour. But above all, you’ll find a common accent reflected in a particular way of making and understanding music: with vitality. With passion. The accent of the Keybart Ensemble.
