About
Madrid-born Tomás Marco is a multi award-winning and prolific composer whose compact Symphony No. 2 is a single ‘Espacio cerrado’ or ‘Closed Space’, expressed using a massive orchestra. As the subtitle ‘Gaia’s Dance’ suggests, the colourful and rhythmic Symphony No. 8 borrows elements of dances from different parts of the world. Marco’s Symphony No. 9 draws inspiration from the primeval sea spirit ‘Thalassa’, and combines studies in sonority with medieval music sources to create a work which unfolds in a single, extended breath.

Awards and reviews
August 2012
The orchestral performances appear - so far as one can judge in the absence of a score - to be excellent and resourceful, rising successfully to all the many challenges presented by the composer. The marvellous and always-responsive Serebrier brings understanding and a sense of brilliance to the scoring.
