Guastavino: Piano Music

Madrigal, Marcos

PCL 10203

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.

Marcos Madrigal was born in Havana, Cuba. After studying in Cuba with the pianist Teresita Junco he went to Europe, where he attended masterclasses in Lugano and Como, with Andreas Staier, Dimitri Bashkirov, Fou Ts’ong, Malcolm Bilson and especially with his mentor William Grant Naboré. His previous recordings were met with great critical acclaim, awarded with a Choc de Classica, Melomano d’Oro, 5 Stars in Diapason.
