The sonic colour and distinctiverhythms enshrined in these fourworks provide further evidence ofthe art of internationally acclaimedPuerto Rican composer, RobertoSierra. The award-winning Sinfonía
No. 3 ‘La Salsa’ owes its inspirationto the music of the SpanishCaribbean and is a salsa of older and newer rhythms, intoxicatinglypresented amidst revelry and dance.The instrumentally vivid Borikén isbased on the baroque chaconne butwith a Latin twist, while El Baile
invokes traditional music in a whollydistinctive way. Beyond the Silence
of Sorrow is a captivatingly lyricalsong cycle.
