14/1/2022
Following Leticia Moreno´s recent release of Peter Eötvös’ DoReMi Concerto, her next recording includes the world premiere of Jimmy López Bellido´s Aurora Violin Concerto dedicated to and premiered by Leticia with Houston Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Andrés Orozco Estrada. The album also includes López Bellido’s Symphony No.2 “Ad Astra”. Aurora is inspired by López Bellido’s years spent in Finland, and particularly the privilege of witnessing the northern lights.
With this recording, Leticia Moreno consolidates her journey through contemporary repertoire where she has performed works by composers Esa Pekka Salonen, Peter Eötvös, Krzysztof Penderecki, Magnus Lindberg, Fazil Say, Donghoon Shin and Gabriel Prokofiev, leading her to perform around the world with orchestras such as Mahler Chamber Orchestra, Mozarteum Salzburg, Philharmonia, Saint Petersburg Philharmonic and NHK Tokyo amongst others.
