Born in Barcelona, Leonardo Balada studied at the Conservatorio del Liceu there, and at the Juilliard School. His Cello Concerto No. 2, »New Orleans« is a blending of negro spirituals and jazz elements with avant-garde techniques. The
Concerto for four guitars and orchestra belongs to his second, avant-garde period. It makes a fascinating contrast with Balada's fourth concerto, the 1997 Concierto Mágico (Naxos 8. 555039) which, like the Cello Concerto, mixes ethnic ideas with contemporary sonorities.
Reviews
FonoForum 01/04: »Das vom Versailles Guitar Quartet mit dem nötigen motorischen Puls gespielte Konzert für vier Gitarren entstammt Baladas avantgardistischer Phase und bietet weit mehr als die spanischen Floskeln aus Rodrigos Concierto Andaluz, ›dem‹ Werk für diese Besetzung.«-
