Venezuelan waltzes Guitar works (1991)

"Lauro's strongest suit was that of the Venezuelan vals, a genre that owes far more to the hemiolas of the renaissance dances that travelled across the Atlantic 500 years ago than to the Viennese ballroom; there are many on this disc. (...) One might describe Lauro as 'the Johann Strauss of Venuzuela', being careful to distinguish between the waltz and the vals, and he is scarcely less winsome. All the better then, that Balbi is such a persuasive player, gifted with all the musical and technical attributes this often deceptively difficult music calls forand all on open display in this immaculate recording, one I have immensely enjoyed.' (Gramophone)
