Pianist Barbara Nissman performing Alberto Ginastera's 'Piano Sonata No. 2', Op. 53 and two of the composer's 'Danzas Argentinas', op. 2. The performances were filmed at Michigan State University in 1984.
The second film in Barbara Nissman's Master Class Series, 'Alberto Ginastera, A Man of Latin America', has been released in a set of two DVDs. The first DVD presents an in-depth portrait of Alberto Ginastera and includes performance excerpts and interviews with the composer himself, his daughter and his widow. You will also hear conductor Leonard Slatkin discussing Ginastera's last orchestral work, Keith Emerson of ELP remembering meeting Ginastera, and an encounter with Chick Corea who was a big fan of his music. The second DVD is a master class with Nissman at the piano, discussing and performing his three piano sonatas (his Third Sonata was dedicated to her) and his early Danzas Argentinas.

Nissman deserves to be better known. Well spoken, attractive personality and of course a very good player.

For me Ms. Nissman brings the excitement of a runaway train to Ginastera's Sonata
and, at the same time manages to carve out its architecture. William Mayer

In my honest opinion this is THE definitive version. Tempo wise, timing, interpretation, technique.. This is just the best interpretation hands down!

She is as close to the composer as any performer can ever be.

Fantastic!!!

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

Superb, if overly percussive, but that is the composer's fault.

Fault? Is a mountain at fault for having rough edges?
