'Gabriel Castagna has already proved himself something of a Piazzolla specialist... all the perofrmances sound affectionate and thoroughly idiomatic, and overall it's an undeniably enjoyable disc.'
BBC Music Magazine

'Delightful performaces, splendidly recorded.'
Gramophone

On his third disc for Chandos, Gabriel Castagna conducts a programme of twentieth-century Argentine music, full of colour, energy, striking rhythms and harmonies.

Here Gabriel Castagna conducts the Orquesta Sinfónica de Entre Ríos, an orchestra which hails from a province about an hour's flight from Buenos Aires. The idiom of this music is in the players' blood; one of the composers represented, Oscar Giúdice, had for many years served as the orchestra's chief conductor.

Much of the repertoire is rare on CD, making this a valuable addition to the catalogue.

Gabriel Castagna has conducted many orchestras of distinction in the USA, Europe, Japan and Argentina and is renowned for his interpretations of South American music.
