"In
1998 The Kilometroak 98 organization in Tolosa managed to
get the three together (Benito Lertxundi, The Basque Symphonic
Orchestra and Enrique Ugarte) to fulfill a curious and interesting
project, that is, E. Ugarte arranged Benito Lertxundi´s
songs for the Basque Symphonic Orchestra to interpretate,
there you go. The project's result first performance
was 17th April 1998 in The Leidor a cinema in Tolosa, with
The Basque Symphonic Orchestra playing, Benito Lertxundi
singing and Enrique Ugarte himself conducting the concert.
The success of this performance was the reason for the creation
of this new record.

for Auhen Sinfonikoa |
In this
record B. Lertxundi offers a known and close voice, full of sensitivity,
having found in these songs that were turned into classic songs
a musical support as traditional as eternal. In this way, the essence
of these songs is ample, free and renovated, making the most vital
spirits flourish and drawing the most colourful fantasies in the
listeners' imagination: Auhen Sinfonikoa from the heart
itself of The Basque Country."

The
team that took part in Nere Ekialdean |
In 2002 he published his last record up until now called Nere Ekialdean. "In this record a sentiment which is as lyrical and esthetic
as intimate is portrayed, which leaves a silver trail suggesting
melodies and immortal thoughts (…). Nere Ekialdean is,
with no doubt, his mostly worked and elaborate record. As well
as
the proper repertory's value, the richness in the arrangements
and the final music strengthen and multiply the communicative
capacity of the songs, showing the author's artistic maturity. "
