DESCRIPTION
Latin American music by Gustavo Corrales Romero
For some time now, it has been Gustavo’s aim to present the surprisingly different and refreshing classic and contemporary Latin American music in which he specializes in a way that has proven audience appeal. This is to acquaint the public with the "other side" of Latin American culture, where most people are only familiar with Latin American popular music.
Gustavo’s most recent CD 'FRESCO', is now also available at Van der Heijde - one of the largest stores in The Netherlands for music scores and CDs under the roof of Donner - also visited by Lang Lang. Donner is a large, very attractive bookstore in the heart of Rotterdam, also home to an antique book section courtesy of Antiquarian Looijestijn and a nice Yamaha grand piano / recital area.

BIOGRAPHY
Latin American music by Gustavo Corrales Romero
The Cuban-born Dutch pianist Gustavo Corrales Romero has enjoyed 17 years of professional musical training in the solid tradition of the Russian school for piano since he was 7, at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow and at the Instituto Superior de Arte (ISA, the Superior Institute for Art) in Havana, among others.
Gustavo began public performances at the age of 16. Over the years he acquired a vast amount of podium experience, participating in many national and international festivals in Cuba and South America, giving piano recitals across Cuba, in the Caribbean, and several cities in Europe, especially in The Netherlands where he has been residing and working with his wife since 2002.

ABOUT THE FRESCO CD
Compilation of Latin American classical music for piano based on popular and folkloric genres such as the waltz, danza, joropo, son, pasillo, tango and the habanera.
Fresco contains unpublished work (Trinitaria and Habanera by C. Fariñas), first recordings (Sarabandio by K.D.R. de Corrales and the dances of L.G. Valdés) and an adaptation for piano by G. Corrales Romero of A. Barrios’ Vals no.3 for guitar, undertaken with the hope that, together with the other works, it is reminiscent of the charm of simplicity, the benefaction of the immediate and the everyday; and that it transports you, while you listen, away from your daily hustle and bustle.
Given an enthusiastic review by ILAMS (The Iberian and Latin American Music Society, London):
“...unapologetically celebrates the spirit of dance and song, played in the most captivating manner.”
