Sonata Op. 49 GINASTERA ALBERTO

Classique

Description :

This 1979 composition for Cello and Piano by Alberto Ginastera, was written for his young cellist wife Aurora Natola. A grand twenty-minute work made up of four distinct movements, moving through aggressive passages and ponderous slower sections. It is rather typical of the late style of Ginastera, though not as angular as some of his works, it is imbued with folk-like rhythms and motives.
