During that period and with this objective, Borgunyó composed the Suite per a viola, which included a movement entitled Gitanerías, and other works with a clearly Hispanic air, such as Danza ibérica, Nocturno sevillano or the Suite ibérica.

Suite for Orchestra by Lluís Benejam

The premiere of the Suite for Orchestra by Lluís Benejam, Orchestra Barcelona and Catalonia directed by James Judd at L'Auditori in Barcelona, on 15, 16 and January 17, 2010 proved a remarkable success.
Reproduce the feature published in La Vanguardia, the critic Jorrge de Persia on this release.
"The attraction of the concert was the Suite Benejam Lluís (1914-1968), Catalan composer emigrated to the U.S., in a move that also involved Xancó, Suriñach (cellist). A piece of plain language, and some American sounding Hollywood tinge, with fantastic resources and above all rhythmic and melodic color, culminating with a Spanish touch sensitive. The funny thing is that we know so little about this musician. The program fails to date the date of this work, where is find your file? We are in a very hazy memory of our little systematic exercise and recovery, something essential for a self-respecting culture. What do we expect? "
