New Works

"Rapsodia Latina" features music for cello and piano with a Latin American flavor, including seven world premiere recordings. Performed by the acclaimed cellist Jesus Castro-Balbi, assistant professor of cello, and pianist Gloria Lin, these nine works by various Latin American composers are in turn romantic and lush, soothing then energetic, youthful, exciting, and always engaging.
