Following the 2021 Latin Grammy-winning album Latin American Classics, I am proud to present Latin American Classics, Volume 2—a continuation of my artistic mission to reveal the depth, elegance, and expressive power of Latin America's piano repertoire. This album brings together masterworks from Venezuela, Cuba, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Brazil. Each piece reflects a unique voice and cultural identity, yet together they weave a powerful narrative that transcends borders and time. By exposing the brilliance of these often-overlooked composers, we not only honor the past, we help transform the future. I believe that by expanding the classical music canon to include the diverse and sophisticated contributions of Latin America, we nourish and enrich the musical universe for generations to come. As a Steinway Artist and a Latin American pianist, this is both a personal and artistic calling. Latin American Classics, Volume 2 is more than just an album, it is an invitation to discover, to reflect, to celebrate and to embrace the many colors, textures, and rhythms that make Latin American music a vital force in the world of classical music. — Kristhyan Benitez
