The quality of Revueltas' music, his artful use of musical language and his unique personality and strength of style go well beyond the interest that the folkloristic or nationalist elements, with which Revueltas is commonly associated, might have by themselves. This recording should contribute to establish more realistically the dimension of this composer's relevance within the music of this century. His work decidedly transcends the cultural borders of Mexico.
