Description:

The "Suite de los espejos" is a remarkable work for its time. The very first word, "Christ", was a provocation and a challenge to the predominance of dogmatic Marxist-Leninist ideas in Soviet art. García Lorca's text is truly poetic and enriched with surrealist and irrational elements. The poetry dwells in terms of virtual reality on the idea of a mirror, on reflection, and on multiplication. The composer makes use of an eight-tone series which is based on mirror symmetry and characteristically consonant intervals (thirds). (Iuri Kholopov).
