Ginastera - The Vocal Album marks the centenary of the Argentinian composer Alberto Ginastera (1916-1983). In 1966, at the New York City Opera, the US premiere of his opera Don Rodrigo gave the young Plácido Domingo his major breakthrough. Domingo performs excerpts from Don Rodrigo, while two sopranos – Ana-Maria Martínez and Virginia Tola – sing Ginastera’s Cinco Canciones Populares Argentinas and cantata Milena respectively. Gisèle Ben-Dor, a notable champion of Latin American music, conducts the Santa Barbara Symphony.
