Bottiroli: Complete Piano Works, Vol. 4

José Antonio Bottiroli's protégé and greatest champion, Fabio Banegas, presents this fourth volume of his mentor's complete piano works. In this wide-ranging collection we hear works with orchestra and with chamber ensemble, as well as pieces for piano solo and duo. Symphonic Impressions for piano and orchestra offers lyricism and virtuosity, while the remainder of the programme focuses on Bottiroli's contrapuntal mastery, the creative refashioning and expansion of earlier works, and his use of Argentine folk dances such as the chamamé. Together they present musical mementos of his own life experience.
