Alberto Ginastera: Variaciones Concertantes op.23 (1953)

[@franciscowalker5104]

I love this music...Ginastera seems to be always taking us to remote places, enchanted landscapes and heartfelt emotions...great music...soothing and haunting.

[@MiaFeigelsonGallery]

On our Indenpendence Day, I can't but thank you for this music. Ginastera is undoubtedly our most accomplished composer and of the best of the 20th-century composers of the Americas !

[@franciscowalker5104]

Along with Guastavino and Piazzolla

[@tannerjordan2010]

The clarinetist in this version nails it! That is easily among the most terrifyingly difficult passages in all symphonic rep, bravo!

[@slateflash]

He did play some parts one octave lower though

[@quanhoangclarinettist6225]

I had the pleasure to play this piece as First Clarinet recently, with my school orchestra (I had to transpose the Solo into A Clarinet since my fingers are not good enough for the B-flat version). Have to say it was a wonderful experience that I won't forget.

underrated genius. thanks

[@PeterLunowPL]

he is not underrated ,he is generally regarded as one of the true masters of South America and played all over the world

[@slateflash]

He's definitely not played enough!

[@artofmusic303]

Que bella musica, con mucha variedad y destreza, bien hecho.

[@paxwallacejazz]

So very vertically intelligent . A pleasure to hear . Need I mention that it sounds very modern Jazz in it's harmonic sense . I think more than a few modern Jazz pianists spent some time listening to this guy in the 60s etc.

[@marcelobustamante883]

Siempre me pareció una obra perfecta. Ginastera es el compositor más importante de Argentina sin dudas. Un genio.

[@rainerschanegger]

De musica erudita sin duda, si vamos a algo mas popular es Piazzolla.

and an excellent performance !!!

[@grig808]

Fantastic, thank you who published this

[@franciscowalker5104]

I would add to my comment (see below 7 months ago) ...OK, Ginastera is not easy to hear; his are not like the gorgeous melodies of Mozart or Chopin or Rachmaninoff BUT....his music is very rich, soothing, descriptive and melodious. I just love it.

[@musokid89]

I think it's amazing how he manages to get such a rich sound from so few instruments

[@Kuerales]

GREAT

[@PRL2204]

Anyone know who the clarinetist is? Hes no Marcellus, but he sure did this one excellently!

[@Pipisfe]

Compositor argentino, por lo tanto terrorista, a ver si quieren invadir las Malvinas -santo territorio ingles- al ritmo de esta bellísima música....
