The Latin American Music Center is pleased to present the debut recording of pianist Daniel Inamorato, Grand Prize winner of the Second Latin American Music Recording Competition (2012). With multiple awards in competitions in his native Brazil and abroad, Daniel Inamorato first encountered the piano at the age of five, when he started learning from his sister Viviane Louro and by age nine he performed his first concert as a soloist with orchestra. He studied in Brazil with pianists Luciana Sayuri, Marisa Lacorte, and Eduardo Monteiro and received a bachelor degree in music from the University of São Paulo, Brazil, before being accepted at Indiana University Jacobs School of Music as a Barbara and David Jacobs Fellow to pursue a graduate degree under the tutelage of Arnaldo Cohen and Jean-Louis Haguenauer. “This CD offers a unique collection of compositions for solo piano by Brazilian and Mexican composers; works from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries that have rarely or never been recorded. Most of the pieces are either short explorations into modern pianistic sonorities or fusions of popular Latin American music with modern compositional techniques.” (Marysol Quevedo) For extended liner notes and more information by Marysol Quevedo, please visit the LAMC dedicated website recordings: music.indiana.edu/lamc/recordings
