Solatino Overview
Gabriela Montero's third album, SOLATINO, is sure to tango into your heart! Venezuelan-born pianist, Gabriela Montero, releases her first recording exclusively devoted to works by Latin American composers, SOLATINO. As with her previous, hugely successful EMI Classics releases, Bach and Beyond and Baroque, on SOLATINO, Montero turns her genius for improvisation to music by Latin American composers including Ginastera, Lecuona and Estévez. This joyous, bright album is packed with tangos, milongas, and swinging dance rhythms! This release aims to bring this fun, infectious music to a wide audience, and to introduce new audiences to a different genre of `classical' music. Montero is currently one of the most sought-after classical pianists in the music world! Her performance of John Williams' "Air and Simple Gifts" at President Barack Obama's Inaguration with cellist Yo-Yo Ma, violinist Itzhak Perlman and clarinetist Anthony McGill was viewed by one of the largest television and online audiences of all time! She is universally admired for her exceptional artistry, passion, and lyricism with which she imbues both her classical and improvisational playing.
