Bolcom / Schuppener / Macchioni - Latin-American Duos [CD]

Pianist Oscar Macchioni, a native of Argentina, is a passionate performer of Latin American music. His diverse repertoire, taking in musical styles and composers of all periods, from Soler and Brahms to Piazzolla and Bolcom, is brought into high relief on Latin-American Duos, in partnership with violinist Mark Schuppener. Together, they offer a program of works that includes a trifecta of pieces by the great 20th c. Argentinean composer Astor Piazzolla, two by the Mexican Manuel Ponce, as well as works by Guastavino, Floro M. Ugarte, and William Bolcom, elder statesman of American composers.
