Following his first CD "Chamber Works" (2006), the composer Luís Tinoco is working on a new CD project due to be released in 2013 on Naxos.

The recording sessions with the Gulbenkian Orchestra lead by the American conductor David Alan Miller will take place between the 11th and the 16th of June 2012, at the Gulbenkian Foundation's auditorium, and will also feature three internationally renowned sopranos: Yeree SuhAna Quintans and Raquel Camarinha.

Four orchestral works  will be recorded on this CD, all written by Luís Tinoco during the last ten years: "Round Time" (2002), for symphony orchestra; "Search Songs" (2007), for soprano and orchestra – setting poems by Alexander Search (Fernando Pessoa); "From the Depth of Distance" (2008), for soprano and orchestra – setting poems by Walt Whitman and Álvaro de Campos (F. Pessoa); and "Songs from The Solitary Dreamer" (2011-12), also for soprano and orchestra – setting texts by Almeida Faria.

These four works were commissioned by the Porto National Orchestra, the Estoril Music Weeks Festival, the Albany Symphony Orchestra, the Algarve Orchestra and the Casa da Música Foundation and were previously performed both in Portugal and abroad by prestigious orchestras such as the Gulbenkian Orchestra, the Porto Casa da Música Symphony Orchestra, the Portuguese Symphony Orchestra, the Algarve Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Albany Symphony Orchestra and the Montpellier National Orchestra.

The funds collected by the Crowdfunding platform will help supporting the production costs of a recording that gathers a notable group of artists and that counts with the institutional support of the Gulbenkian Foundation's Music Service, the Portuguese Author's Society, the Luso-American Foundation (FLAD) and the Classical Radio RDP Antena 2.

EGEAC - The company managing the equipment and cultural events, from the Lisbon Municipality - is a promotion partner in this project.
The solicited funding corresponds to the minimum amount required to support this project through the crowdfunding platform. The remaining funding will need to be collected through other partnerships.
