Stucky: Pinturas de Tamayo (Paintings of Tamayo) for orchestra. Pinturas de Tamayo is the result of Steven Stucky’s encounter with the art of the Mexican painter Rufino Tamayo. Initially struck by the painting ‘The Great Galaxy’, he chose this and four other paintings as his points of departure for a five-movement suite, which although it is far from pictorial certainly offers as much colour and poetry as the paintings themselves.
