Composer in Residence at the Palau de la Música Catalana
Season 2022-23

CYBORG
“Unlike anything you've ever heard.
We're falling in love with this,
this is just a terrific, wonderful new piece.”
(Leonard Slatkin, conductor)

DEUS EX MACHINA
“A stunning work, intense and
full of rich orchestral colors”
(Maria João Pires, pianist)

UNICORN
“An enchanting concerto for clarinet,
unveils textures of intense variety.”
(Thierry Hilleriteau, Le Figaro)

“Holds the ear captive to every single sound!
Over the rich orchestral texture, clarinetist Horácio Ferreira
gives birth to a sonic world of indescribable poetry,
elegance, and astonishing depth of soul.
(Jany Campello, ResMusica)

BIG DATA
“Imagined and demanding of virtuosos,
-with a sense of journeying high- is for anyone
who loves the orchestra and what it is capable of,
boundless in colour and effects according to Cruixent.”
(Colin Anderson, Classical Source)

HUMAN BROTHER
“Dazzling premiere.
The tonal fantasy and the wide range of
technical and expressive resources that
the composer exhibits are impressive.”
(Javier Pérez Senz, Scherzo)

METAVERSE I
“With Konstantin Krimmel, proposed a
relentless and bleak narrative and managed to
create a claustrophobic and disturbing atmosphere.
Metaverse I is a complex and very
interesting work, with which it is possible
to recognize elements and temptations
of our daily life and even reminiscences
of our being as inhabitants of this confused era.”
(Meritxell Tena, Núvol)
