Search - Carlos Guastavino, Alberto Ginastera, Patricia Caicedo - Soprano :: Lied/ Art songs of Latin America - Canciones del arte de América Latina

Lied: Art Songs of Latin America is a compilation of 25 of the most beautiful Latin American art songs, works inspired by German lieder and written by 20th century Latin American composers for piano and voice. Works by Ginastera, Guastavino, Estevez, Ovalle, León, Ponce, Morales Pino, Calvo y Obradors, some of them recorded for the first time on this CD, are a thorough review of the complexities of Latin American sensitivities and musical expression. These are songs of extraordinary beauty with texts taken from the giants of Latin American poetry and letters. The sweetness and understanding with which Patricia Caicedo interprets this repertoire and the quality of the works themselves make this CD a must-have for everyone interested in expanding their musical horizons to include what has been, until now, a relatively undiscovered but vitally important and musically satisfying genre
