Gabriel Castagna
Much of the repertoire is rare on CD, making this a valuable addition to the catalogue.
Gabriel Castagna has conducted many orchestras of distinction in the USA, Europe, Japan and Argentina and is renowned for his interpretations of South American music.
Throughout history, art has been a means for many artists to express a sense of the national. The works recorded here, with their folk tunes and rhythms, demonstrate this admirably. Resourcefully exploiting the opportunities offered by sophisticated compositional techniques and the expanded scale of a symphonic way of thinking, the composers on this disc used their intelligence and artistic sensibility to generate works in which elements of traditional music unfold organically.
