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 Vacatellos collection of the complete piano works of music of Alberto Ginastera (1916-1983). One of Argentinas best known classical composers, Ginasteras 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. Vacatellos strong musicality and virtuosity are a perfect match for this comprehensive survey. Includes extensive liner notes by Ginasteras pupil Hugo Aisemberg.
