Cuban Baroque Sacred Music: Esteban Salas
Exaudi Choir of Cuba & The Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos

La Grabación
Una vez más, Maria Felicia Pérez y el Coro Exaudi de La Habana han logrado la reconstruccion ideal, por lo directa y sencilla, de obras religiosas del grán compositor cubano. Han respetado el volumen instrumental de la Capilla de la Catedral de Santiago de Cuba, sin falso espíritu arqueológico, sino tan solo porque asi suena bico y con frescura. La grabación se realizó nuevamente en la iglesia de San Juan de Letran, de los PP. Dominicos en La Habana, en El Vedado mitad ciudad, mitad parque. A lo lejos están siempre los omniprensentes grillos del trópico, que también oirian Salas y sus feligreses. Los músicos de Exaudi dan una vez más evidencia de su extraordinario nivel artístico, y a ellos debemos agradecer de nuevo la resurección de la obra del grán músico clásico del continente americano, de cuyo conocimiento se va del asombro a la perplejidad, como ocurrió ante el redescubrimiento moderno de la obra de Vivaldi.

El organista Christian Mouyen, realizador dei contínuo de órgano, y los miembros de la Schola del coro beneditino de Santo Domingo de Silos, en España, realizan con su intervención esta primera grabación mundial de las misas barrocas de Esteban Salas.

The Recording
Once again, Maria Felicia Pérez and the Exaudi Choir of Havana have succeeded in making an ideal presentation of the religious works of this Ciuban composer. One must take into account the acoustic properties in the chapel of the Cathedral of Santiago de Cuba, where Ms. Pérez works with a choir few in number but high in quality – talented musicians who do not allow themselves to be influenced by the passing modes of interpretation concerning earlier music. The music was recorded in the convent of the Dominican Fathers Church of Sr. Jean Latran in Havana, situated in the district of El Vedado half city, half park. One can hear the song of the tropical crickets, which Salas and his parishioners must have heard as well. The musicians of the Exaudi Choir give proof of their high artistic quality, which places them among the most important choral groupsof the world. Thanks to them, the work of this great classical Cuban composer has been revived, and here recorded for the first time. The recent discovery of these works leaves us with as much astonishment as perplexity, as was the case when the early 20th century discovered the 18th centuty work of Vivaldi.

The organist Christian Mouyen, who realized the organ continuo, and the members of the Benedictine Monk’s Choir of Santo Domingo de Silos in Spain, contribute their remarkable talents on tracks 4, 5, 12, 14, 15 and 19.
