Argentinian composer, poet and teacher José Antonio Bottiroli found his ideal means of expression in the Romantic idiom and in shorter forms of music. Exploiting the rich resources of the waltz, his pieces are infused with a remarkable range of moods, intimacies, real-life experiences and scenes from nature, as well as portraits of children and loved ones, such as the iconic Verdadero in honour of the composer’s wife—all played with the unique insights of his student and protégé Fabio Banegas.
