International relevance: -
Camilo Torres was a catholic priest and
a member of the Colombian geurilla movement. He urged for
co-operation between marxists and Christians but was eventually
executed by government troops in 1966 and was refused a Christian
funeral, His burial place is still undisclosed.
This album with the very long title
meaning ”to Camilo Torres and the Latin American revolution with
the two sides named ”voices in a human landscape part 1 & 2”
are as pretentious as the music within. It's a memorial mass composed
by Alfred Jansson with spoken recitals by Elisabet Hermodsson, Lena Granhagen and Håkan Strängberg set a backdrop performed by the
chamber choir of Gothenburg and a classical orchestra. The work's
smugness is completely overbearing and I find it impossible to sit
through the entire thing without breathing in a bag.
