This is the debut cd of Steinway artists Oscar Macchioni. 
"He plays these endlessly evocative works with understanding and seeming ease—bringing out their lovely melodies, finding tempos that seem quite right, and expertly balancing their wit, gravity, and passion." American Record Guide.
"He is a fine pianist, so I will just comment that his playing
is strong, with clear and expressive phrasing. And the recorded sound is excellent, quite vigorously if this performance is anything to go by.: Classical Net.
Oscar Macchioni was born in Argentina but lives and works in the USA. An erudite academic and writer on music, his latest book The Tango in American Music is the inspiration behind this fascinating and varied disc, his first solo project. Listening to him play it is evident Macchioni is a musician and performer of great sensibility. This is an album full of surprises, as it explores a wide range of composers and styles, the music illuminated by a fresh approach and interpretative insights. Fascinating!" ILAMS, London, UK
