Albert Guinovart

Works for Symphonic Band

2025, L'Auditori

Among the most emblematic works for symphonic band by the Catalan composer and pianist Albert Guinovart (b. 1962), the marimba concerto Tres paisatges pictòrics stands out, commissioned by Conrado Moya and performed by the soloist himself on this album. In each of its three movements, Guinovart evokes soundscapes inspired by celebrated paintings by Caspar David Friedrich, Giovanni Bellini, and Henri Rousseau, in which the virtuosity and expressive power of the marimba highlight the composer’s lyrical and intimate musical universe. The program is completed by the Sinfonía Gaudí and the fantasy Barcelona, all performed by the Barcelona Municipal Band under the baton of José Rafael Pascual Vilaplana.

Silentium

2015, Audioart

Silentium is Conrado Moya’s album debut as a marimba soloist. A unique and exclusive selection of pieces to get to know the marimba: the most renowned repertoire of the instrument, the new promises of the composition for marimba ―with works exclusively composed for the occasion― and the talent of its performers through the soloist Conrado Moya and the collaboration of Katarzyna Myćka as a duo.

Marimba Synergy

Bach: Goldberg Variations

2020, Mons Records

The Goldberg Variations, BWV 988, are considered to be one of Johann Sebastian Bach’s greatest masterpieces and one of the finest examples of polyphonic art in the history of music. Katarzyna Myćka and Conrado Moya confront this technical and musical challenge in a duo for marimbas: a pioneer project which strictly observes the rules of Baroque interpretation and ornamentation, and also explores and makes use of the enormous sound potential of modern marimbas. In doing so, the audience is given an unprecedented perspective which puts the marimba on a whole new plane as a musical instrument.
