Carlos Chavez (1899-1978)
Chamber Works

La Camerata (Panamerican Chamber Players)
Tambuco (Mexican Percussion Quartet)
Eduardo Mata, Conductor

DOR-90012 Cover Carlos Chavez undoubtedly ranks as the most important Mexican musician ever.   The scope of his activities and influence on the cultural life of the country was, and still is, impressive.   The biography of the man who was a leading figure in so many disciplines while also producing a superb body of artistic creations, seems hard to believe.
