Since 2002, pianists Guillermo Salvador and Rosalinda Preciado have met with great success in the State of Jalisco and several cities in Mexico. They have a varied and interesting repertoire spanning different eras of music history. Their CD Contrasts demonstrates the quality of their performances. The expressive force and the conjunction of these two personalities with two different styles and concepts of musical expression, enrich the melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic possibilities generated in one of the instruments most liked by the public: the piano.
