* 2021 Stock * "Maria de Alvear writes confrontationally personal music along sexual themes ... the same kind of spiritual revolution that John Cage ... did here 30 years ago. The work Sexo for female narrator/performer and orchestra is a passionate examination of all the taboos and all the advantages and disadvantages involved with sexuality. A poetic explosion of feeling, emotions, sexual fantasies and deep mystical and metaphysical thought. Sexo is in fact an imaginary journey that the listener experiences or undertakes together with the narrator." - Kyle Gann, Village Voice
