Beautiful performances of works by Tansman, Piazzolla, Surinach and Turina for piano quartet.

For all the differences among them, Joaquín Turina, Alexandre Tansman, and Carlos Surinach were alike in one regard: each was sympathetic to making his music an affirmation of his cultural heritage. At the same time, their lives spanned a period when modernism was sweeping away the romantic tenets that had upheld 19th-century nationalism. Hence, each came to fashion a distinctive amalgam of nationalist tendencies and newly emergent techniques and modes of thought. Given beautiful performances by the Ames Piano Quartet, the recording ends with a work by Astor Piazzolla that was written as part of the incidental music for a play by Alberto Rodriguez Muñoz.

Review:
"The whole program is exceptionally well performed by the Ames Piano Quartet...Their tight ensemble and rhythmic inflection show a true understanding of the Spanish idiom...Highly recommended, especially for the unusual repertoire." (Fanfare)
