This world premiÃ¨re recording of the second volume of JOSÃ‰ ANTONIO BOTTIROLI's complete piano music, is performed once again by his award-winning protÃ©gÃ© Fabio Banegas. The nocturnal themes heard in this album were inspired by the clear skies over the composer's holiday home in Los Cocos, Cordoba Province, Argentina - these spellbinding works transcend earthly romantic concerns and venture into the stillness of the universe. Dedicated to Banegas, the Album Pages represent Bottiroli's distinctive impressionist style, while the unique Five Piano Replies connects music with poetry written by the composer, and read on this recording by the renowned actor George Takei.
