On the other side of the planet from the likes of Bartok and Kodaly, composers were no less intrigued by the synthesis of nationalistic folk music with Western art music. Paving the way for a generation of composers in Argentina was Alberto Ginastera, from whom followed Jose Bragato, Osvaldo Golijov, Lalo Schifrin, and perhaps most recognized today, Astor Piazzolla. This Yarlung Records disc celebrates the extensive contributions these composers made to the cello repertoire. Cellist Antonio Lysy is joined by pianist Brian Pezzone, bassist Pablo Motta, and members of the Capitol Ensemble in this memorable survey they includes diverse works scored for cello solo, cello and piano, or cello and small ensemble. In all cases, Lysy's playing is exemplary. Not only does he toss off any technical difficulties with apparent ease, but also brings his heritage to the fore with brilliantly stylized interpretations filled with panache, passion, and Argentine flair. Despite the careful measures taken by Yarlung, and the detailed description provided of the recording process, the recorded sound quality is not always ideal. When Lysy is playing with his ensemble, the sound is vivid, warm, and well developed. When Lysy plays by himself, or sometimes with just cello and piano, the microphone seems to be very close to the cello and Lysy's sound comes out as flat and undeveloped. Still, Lysy's enjoyable program and near-flawless execution still merits listening.
