Details:
Southwest Chamber Music received the 2003 GRAMMY Award for Best Small Ensemble for this CD. One of the founding fathers of musical life in Mexico, Carlos Chávez (1899-1978) was part of the amazing group of musicians, painters and poets working in the 1920s and 1930s who forged what is today internationally recognized as the Mexican cultural identity. Ironically, the great Mexican composer was not interested in nationalistic music per se; the aesthetic quality was the most important issue in art for Chávez. "What is important is good music. Unless it is good, nationalistic music is worthless. Good music can be created only by good composers…..For a country to have great national music, the only thing missing is the great composers to create it."
