Carlos Chávez - A Program of Mexican Music Conducted by Carlos Chávez (2023 Remastered Version) (2023) [Hi-Res]

Carlos Chávez was one of the most influential champions of modern Mexican concert music. He was passionate about his Mexican musical heritage, and recognized this richness. In 1928, he helped to organize the Orquesta Sinfónica de México and was its principal conductor until 1949, when the orchestra became the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional, as it is now known.

With his Orquesta, Chávez conducted dozens of Mexican and world premieres, and commissioned new works by Mexican composers. He composed seven symphonies of his own, and dozens of other orchestral pieces. As his style developed, he began to incorporate native percussion instruments into his orchestrations, and he drew on the musics of indigenous Indian cultures for inspiration and techniques.
