Notes

Here's a truly transversal album: some of the most famous American and international classical composers of the 20th century pay homage to the popular rhythms and dances of the two Americas. Barber, Copland, Piazzolla, and also Bennet and Milhaud tackle Tango, Samba, Blues, Ragtime Waltz, Cuban dances, and Brasileira. The protagonists are two sleek and shiny Steinway & Sons Grand Concert Pianos, which with their varied and multiple sonorities fill the album as much as and even more than a large orchestra, also aided by a recording characterized by the highest possible quality available today.
