October 21, 200817 yr This piece has it all...well, if rhythmic, ethnic, lyrical, haunting, macho, and hard to play count as all.... Here's a quick recording I made over the weekend with a friend who has some preety decent equipment...the piece is still in progress, so you'll hear some flubby intonation at various spots throughout. I also want to tighten up the rhythm in the end 6/8 section. I post this piece because--ok, well, if I'm honest, I want to post something of me on the cello. :blush: The primary reason, seriously, is that I want to increase exposure to this very colorful and lesser known work in the solo cello repertoire. Any of you orchestration buffs should DEFINITELY get a recording of the full score (not just piano reduction here). You won't be able to see from the piano part the simplicity that Ginastera maintains along with interesting (Argentinian-sounding) effects and truly lovely contrasts. Enjoy!

October 21, 200817 yr Oh--I have a really cool arrangement of this piece for cello octet that'll knock your socks off.... I didn't even realize how versatile 8 cellos could be until I heard this! It certainly could inspire some of you to consider a "cello choir" project. Just let me know and I'll e-mail it to you (free of charge...).
October 21, 200817 yr I'm re-posting the link....someone said it didn't work for them. Download file 06-Track 6 mp3 - Ginastera Pampeana No. 2
October 21, 200817 yr I guess I'm interested lol. I've never heard of an ensemble for 8 celli. *Romanticist raises hand*
October 22, 200817 yr 12 celli also sounds real nice also; ergo Shauna Rolston's disc "Dreamscape" allmusic [Dreamscape] Uncle Dave
