This collection
represents the evolution of some of the best in Brazilian
popular music written for piano: from the authentic
urban melodies of the Brazilian colonial period to
its most artistic and refined forms in the first half
of the twentieth century. Other aspects may characterize
the works of Brazil’s contemporary composers, but
the flavor of the old lundus, modinhas, and choros
still live on. Includes works by: Silva Callado, Lorenzo
Fernandez, Guarnieri, Lacerda, Levy, Mignone, Oswald,
and Nazareth. |

The repertory
played on this recording by Luiz de Moura Castro gives

landscape, depicting both the native North and the
Pampa, the gaucho and the typical inhabitant of Buenos
Aires, the porteño. Includes the music of Aguirre,
Ginastera, Guastavino, Piazzolla, and Alberto Williams. |

The pieces that comprise
this collection are representative of the work of
the most important nationalist composers who were
part of the Creole Romantic movement: Espadero, Cervantes,
Lecuona, Roldan, Caturla, even the North American
Louis Moreau Gottschalk. All are fruits of one of
the richest and most widely spread cultures: the Hispanic
tradition. |

Conchita Badia was one of the most
important chamber singers in the world during a
considerable portion of the 20th century. Closely
tied to the musical activity in Argentina, where
she lived between 1938 and 1946, she was a close
collaborator to composer Manuel de Falla. On this
CD, we rescue the broadcasts of the December 1942
concerts at Radio El Mundo de Buenos Aires with
de Falla conducting his own music, sung by Badia.
The CD also includes the concert dedicated to Argentinean
composers, which took part in Madrid in 1964, featuring
the works of Aguirre, Garcia Morillo, Ginastera,
Lopez Buchardo, Maiztegui and others. The majority
of these songs had been previously composed for
this unique singer.

Juan Jose Castro’s appeal
is the result of a rich and eclectic style, and of
his balanced aesthetic sense. His language is a very
personal and original synthesis of three musical currents:
the Spanish, with its modal scales, moorish flavor,
and vital rhythm; the French, with Franck-like harmonies
and textures, and Impressionistic atmospheres, and
the Argentinian, with its folk flavor of the countryside
and its urban tanto from the “arrabal” (outskirts)
of Buenos Aires. Included are the Tangos, Preludes,
Casi Polka, ¡Que Titeo!, among others. |

Guastavino’s
works are permeated with the aesthetics of the Argentine
nationalistic movement. Each of his works in this
collection: Ten Argentine Cantilenas (1956-58), Ten
Preludes (1952), and Sonatina (1942-45) encompass
a new period of composition where Guastavino forsakes
his earlier salon style for larger forms with more
thematic variety, a deeper richness of tone and more
elaborative climaxes. All brilliantly performed by
members of Fundacíon Ostinato of Argentina. |

Tres Romances nuevos, La tarde en Rincón (1952), Mis
amigos (1966), and La siesta (three preludes), once
