Venezuelan trumpet virtuoso and composer Pacho Flores presents world premiere recordings of Latin American trumpet concertos with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra under their chief conductor Domingo Hindoyan. Flores and Hindoyan’s tangible musical chemistry stems from a friendship going back to their time in the Simon Bolivar Orchestra. The title work is Flores’s own vibrant and rhythmic flugelhorn concerto which he premiered in 2022. The album pairs Albares with two other concertos: Salseando by Puerto Rican composer Roberto Sierra, which Flores premiered to acclaim in 2020; and Altar de Bronce (Altar of Bronze) by Mexican composer Gabriela Ortiz, another work premiered by Flores in 2023.
