Until recently I had never heard of the South American music greats; people writing at the same time as Mozart, Beethoven and the European Masters, but their music is every bit as great as the Europeans. Stunning arrangements, original approaches, vast choirs and orchestras, the music of baroque South America is infused with a reverence and devotion to Catholic liturgy equal to or greater than that of Europe. One of the surprising, delightfully so, aspects is the influence of indigenous music from the Andes,the jungles, and the pampas upon these composers. Sublime!
