I. Paisaje de Ollantaytambo [0:00]
II. Los guerreros [4:10]
III. La muerte de Ollantay [7:15]
A delightful short work for orchestra, one of Ginastera's earlier pieces. Although Ollantay isn't quite close to the pinnacle of Ginastera's output it still portrays that almost cinematic quality which attracts me to his pieces.
