Complete Piano Works : Vacatello (2CD)

2016 is the centenary year of the birth of one of the fathers of Argentinian classical music, and the occasion is marked with the young Italian pianist Mariangela Vacatello's collection of the complete piano works of music of Alberto Ginastera (1916-1983). One of Argentina's best known classical composers, Ginastera's works are filled with vivid and evocative rhythms ranging from the sober to exuberant as well as intimations of the folk music and dance rhythms of his Argentina. Vacatello's strong musicality and virtuosity are a perfect match for this comprehensive survey. Includes extensive liner notes by Ginastera's pupil Hugo Aisemberg.
