Ginastera (1916-1983)

Description:

This is a transitional re-release of the famous disc that was released by Conifer Classics in the UK and became the talk of the town among enthusiasts. The main feature is the complete "Estancia," which had only been recorded as a suite, and it offers a closer look at the real image of this composer, who was called the Copland of Argentina. With its folkloric elements and film-music-like familiarity, it is also recommended for listeners who enjoy "The Rite of Spring" and other works. Argentine composer Alberto Hinastera (1916-83), whom Copeland admired so much, is recognized worldwide as one of the largest and most original South American composers of the 20th century. The two ballets in this recording belong to an early period in which Hinastera worked diligently to establish a national music by using material from Argentine folk and popular music.The exotic "Panambi" is based on the romantic and supernatural legends of love and magic of the Guarani Indians of the upper Rio Palama in northern Argentina. Estancia" (The Ranch) is a powerful and passionate evocation of the vast and mysterious Argentine prairie and the spirit of the unfortunate gaucho, who wanders in the midst of darkness with no one to call upon and no place for himself in this world.
