Orchestra: Württembergische Philharmonie Reutlingen

Conductor: Gabriel Castagna

19 and 20 March 2010

“... the Württemberg musicians play as though they had never experienced a day under 85°F in their lives. Typically full Chandos sound helps to make this enjoyable, good hearted disc a winner.!

Phillip Scott – Fanafare – November/December 2011

“Castagna’s excellence in this repertoire is not surprising. What might surprise some, though, is how idiomatic the German orchestra is. At no point sis I feel that the music’s full potential was not being realised. Fine engineering lets the music’s colours some forward. As the days get shorter in the northern hemisphere, ‘Fiesta Criolla’ will keep the spirits up!”

Raymond S Tuttle – International Record Review – November 2011

"...This is a rather good collection, varied and stimulating, with conductor and orchestra doing the music proud with maestro Castagna clearly having a bent for the music of South America (he himself is Argentinean) and this is his fifth Chandos release of this type of thing. He is clearly in his element and takes his Baden-Württemberg musicians flying along, too. The recording is vivid Musically, there is a great deal of pleasure to be found here fun, sentiment, siestas and fiestas."
