Asier Polo, cello

Rafael Romero ‘El Gallina’, vocals

Jesús Villa-Rojo is one of Spain’s most impressive contemporary composers, and writes masterfully for the cello. The taut, meditative Oración serena, with its expressive depth, is dedicated to the victims of the terrorist attacks in Madrid in 2004. From the same year comes the seven-movement suite Expresiones for solo cello, a work that charts a narrative course between conflict and aching lyricism. Lamento is music of timbre-conscious colour, employing flamenco song forms in the subtlest ways, whilst the Cello Sonata moves through an intense emotional landscape ranging from a chorale to deep introspection.
These are première recordings by one of the composer’s leading exponents. A forward thinker, Jesús Villa-Rojo respects the past and his music is therefore experimental in places, but is also strongly rooted in traditional forms.
The cellist Asier Polo has won fi rst prizes in cello and in chamber music in the Concursos Nacionales de Juventudes Musicales in 1987 and 1989. He subsequently studied with Maria Kliegel at the Cologne Musikhochschule.
