Maestro Pérez-Gómez has been recognized both in the United States and Mexico for his research and recording of the works of Mexican composer Silvestre Revueltas (1899-1940). His recording of “ Troka” and other of the composer’s orchestral works with the Moravian Philharmonic (Czech Republic), gained praise as an important document which demonstrates why Revueltas is considered one of the greatest representatives of Mexican culture and one of Mexico’s most accomplished artists of the 20th century.
