Duos With Piano with pianist Alberto Rosado presents itself before us like a photograph, still in development, of a part of the vital outline of Jesús Torres. It shows us his essential characteristics, his concerns, and the solutions he has adopted throughout the more than twenty years covered by this volume (1997-2018). Along with Rosado’s duo partners on the album.The technical and expressive maturity of works such as the Fantasía for clarinet is surprising -to say the least-: a language already formed, solid and unambiguous, which allows him to move towards less explored fields in later works.
From there, the approach to extended techniques becomes more fluid in the Sonata for flute and piano, polymetric games in Splendens or the search for new articulations and timbral fusions in Variations, which increase Torres’ expressive palette.
All of them serve as testing grounds – what work is not? – for the progressive filtering towards Silentum Amoris (2018): a music without artifice, in search of the essential, suppressing all excess; expressive, vocal, dramatic at times and poetic from the root.
We have before us a set of pieces whose listening takes us through one of the most admired voices of our music and that can suppose the base of what, shortly, we can consider as the Spanish school of composition. But that is another story…
