Salón Mexicano is an album of captivating compositions intended to entertain. On it, Osorio introduces them to 21st-century listeners with the luminous and beautifully sculpted pianism that has enchanted critics and audiences on both sides of the Atlantic.

Osorio presents 20 buried treasures from a bygone Romantic era. It’s a program of instantly enjoyable gems of intimate “party music” by influential Mexican composers Felipe Villanueva (1862–1893), Ricardo Castro (1864–1907), Manuel M. Ponce (1882–1948), and José Rolón (1876–1945). They found inspiration in the virtuosic waltzes and mazurkas of European composer-pianists like Chopin and Liszt.
