The new album by composer António Pinho Vargas brings together two remarkable works, performed live by the resident groups of Casa da Música. Six Portraits of Pain was one of the highlights of the 2005 housewarming program, featuring virtuoso cellist Anssi Karttunen in the role of soloist alongside The Remix Ensemble, directed by conductor Frank Ollu. A moving work inspired by phrases by Deleuze / Espinosa, Thomas Bernhard, Anna Akhmatova, Manuel Gusmão and Paul Celan, which address different forms of existential suffering. Obscuro, for its part, bears witness to more recent times, to a context marked by tragedies and disfigurement, from the pandemic to the wars that plague the world. The interpretation is by the Porto Symphony Orchestra Casa da Música, directed by Pedro Neves. The historical recording of these works, captured in the concerts in which they were premiered, now reaches the record market in a careful edition of Artway, confirming Pinho Vargas as an indispensable voice of European contemporary music.
