Panambi; Estancia (complete ballets). London Symphony Orchestra/Gisele Ben-Dor.
Author: Ginastera, Alberto Published: 2006 Complete recordings of two ballets by the Argentinian composer Alberto Ginastera, both making use of native folk and popular elements. The exotically scored Panambi is based on a romantic and supernatural legend of love and magic from the Guaraní Indians, while Estancia is a powerful and passionate evocation of the vast and enigmatic Argentine pampas, and the spirit of the unlucky gaucho, who has no-one to call to and no place of his own. This is the first complete recording of Estancia. |
