Hit play before reading!


   Eduardo Angulo was born in the city of Puebla in 1954, he began his musical studies at the age of 7 with the teacher Vladimir Vulfman, graduating from the National Conservatory of Music of Mexico in 1973, also at the Conservatory of The Hague, in Holland, he studied a postgraduate in violin and composition, and he played in the Conservatory orchestra and in a quartet in that country; he currently dedicates himself almost entirely to composition. 

    His music catalog includes orchestral works, concertos, chamber music, and choral works, which have been performed by the Cologne Radio Orchestra (Germany), the Spanish Radio and Television Orchestra, the National Symphony of Panama, the Symphony Orchestra from Indiana University (USA), the Bournemouth Sinfonietta (England) and the main orchestras in Mexico. His works have been published in Mexico and in Germany.

    The Sonata for Flute, Viola, and Piano that we are listening to, it has been published by Ediciones Musicales Arte Gráfico y Sonoro, in 2007 and recorded under the URTEX Digital Classics label. It lasts approximately 8 minutes and is presented as a single movement; It begins with an introduction of the piano to which the flute joins very discreetly, the viola begins with single D strings and the very subtly, this being a resource widely used during the work, the use of single strings. It reaches moments of climax but the work, in general, has a calm air, remembering impressionist music.

   The recording we are listening to is interpreted by Miguel Ángel Villanueva on the flute, the composer himself on the viola, and Emilio Angulo on the piano, within the CD entitled: Magical Realism. Vol. II: Music for flute by Eduardo Angulo, for URTEX. 

Thank you very much for reading and see you soon!
