GUITAR MUSIC OF ARGENTINA, VOL. 2

This second recording in the series (Volume 1 is available on 8.555058) brings together pieces written for the guitar by some of the most eminent contemporary composers of Argentina. The huge diversity of popular songs and rhythms still extant can be heard, for example, in the special strikes and cracks in Pujol’s homage to Piazzolla, Elegy for the Death of a Tango Player, Ferrer’s adaptation of the Gato (cat) dance, the “criollo waltz rhythm” of Moscardini’s Doña Carmen and Natali’s evocation of the art of serving the traditional herbal drink, mate.
