El último aliento

Zsófia Boros

Duration40 Min

Zsófia Boros' third album for ECM's New Series focuses on two distinct themes: contemporary Argentinian compositions and the diverse works of French composer Mathias Duplessy. The Hungarian guitarist, based in Vienna, received high praise from Fanfare magazine. Her exceptional qualities are particularly evident on 'El último aliento': her clear, beautiful tone, flowing phrasing, precise layering of melody and accompaniment, supple figuration, and pronounced sense of atmosphere and emotion. The album, named after the Carlos Moscardini composition that concludes the work, also features other Argentinian composers such as Joaquín Alem, Quique Sinesi, and Alberto Ginastera. Together, they form a vibrant repertoire in which the guitarist varies technique, tempo, and mood in fluid waves. For Sinesis' 'Tormenta de ilusión', Boros uses the ronroco, a stringed instrument from the Andean regions.
