Amazon alterted me to this new release:

   "Sensemaya--Music of Silvestre Revueltas" Los Angeles Philharmonic;
   Esa-Pekka Salonen, conductor

   The compositions of Mexican composer Silvestre Revueltas are anything
   but predictable.  Sounding like something of a south-of-the-border
   Charles Ives, his works are filled with mariachi interludes, folk
   motifs, and the occasional brass band.  Esa-Pekka Salonen and the
   Los Angeles Phil do a fine job performing these crazed works and
   highlighting the composer's wild but always effective musical output.

As one who loves Mexican music, I'm intrigued.  Has anybody heard any of
Revueltas's music?  Reactions?

Yours,

David Cozy
