Guastavino Piano Music Marcos Madrigal

Carlos Guastavino (1912-2000) was one of the most important and famous composers of 20th century Argentine. He wrote over 500 works, most of them songs and piano works. He chose his own, personal style, rooted in the Romantic period of the 19th century, tonal, seductive and expressing his deep love for his country and its folklore. He is sometimes called "The Schubert of the pampas".

This new recording presents two piano cycles: "10 Cantilenas Argentinas" and "10 Cantos populares", music of great charm, sensual beauty and pianistic invention.
