 "La Nueva España describes the conquest of Mexico and the extermination of the Aztecs by the Spaniards led by Commander Hernán Cortés."

 "Perhaps music can tell more and better than a camera and perhaps even more than a book, if, of course, we exclude the Divine Comedy."

Lorenzo Ferrero's La Nueva España is a symphonic suite that vividly depicts the tragic conquest of Mexico by Hernán Cortés. Performed by the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine and conducted by Takuo Yuasa, the suite uses neo-tonal language to express varying emotions and perspectives. The review praises Ferrero's skillful thematic arrangement that creates a unified and powerful narrative. The music evokes anxiety, solemnity, and tragedy with depth rarely found in film or literature. Listen to Lorenzo Ferrero's La Nueva España and experience the powerful history of the Aztec conquest through music.
