Antonio Lysy at the Broad - Music from Argentina

This music champions the rich soul of Argentina, and cellist Antonio Lysy makes excellent use of his heritage in this recording. These works highlight the cello as a solo instrument and illustrate the impact of pre-Hispanic Amerindian traditions and Spanish based Creole influences as well as the effect of more modern musical developments like the tango on Argentine composers including Lalo Schifrin's Pampas for which this album won a 2010 Latin GRAMMY.


In the age of compressed digital downloads, it is refreshing to hear real sound and real music again, reminiscent of RCA Living Stereo in its golden age, or Mercury Records at its height. Yarlung's sound is liquid and transparent, just as if you were sitting in the concert halls with superb acoustics, where these recordings are made.
