This unique recording is a journey through time, beginning with Gottschalk’s years in Cuba and his influence on the two following generations up to and including Ernesto Lecuona.

Louis Moreau Gottschalk was America\u2019s first important pianist-composer and the Rock Star of his age !! (1829-1869). He was Abe Lincoln\u2019s favorite pianist ! Antonio Iturrioz\u2019s new CD, released in September 2018, has several world premieres of music by important Cuban pianist-composers who were all influenced by Gottschalk. And the influence Cuban music had on Gottschalk.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, the world premiere recording of Gottschalk\u2019s greatest work, Symphony Romantique BOTH movements, Night in the Tropics and Fiesta Criolla, ON ONE PIANO !<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCongratulations on this extraordinary album of music ! Your projection of the inner life in<\/em><\/strong>
these works of Gottschalk et al is uncanny. Of course, your technical mastery is beyond<\/em><\/strong>
complete, but it is your realization of the \u2018heart and soul\u2019 of this music which is most<\/em><\/strong>
impressive. That you have given the world this historic \u2018first\u2019 re-hearing of Gottschalk\u2019s original<\/em><\/strong>
intentions for \u2018Night in the Tropics\u2019 is more than worthy of being recorded for posterity. I wish<\/em><\/strong>
you well in this endeavor to bring such great music (with your fantastic playing) to the public !\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
