“Guastavino possesses an uncanny ability to evoke the landscape and the people of his country.” - Nancy Roldán
Guastavino often found inspiration in people – their stories, their feelings, their secrets, sensing messages sometimes hidden in their names. Today’s compositions show his uncanny ability to capture the essence of people and things in piano miniatures or in Art Song. The artists share their connection to the composer and his works in a program featuring selections from the piano cycle Mis amigos, performed by pianist Fernando Viani, and the song-cycles La edad del asombro and Seis canciones de cuna, interpreted by mezzo-soprano Solange Merdinian with pianist Pablo Lavandera. Pianist Alejandro Cremaschi closes the program with the Sonatina in G.
