Following this accolade, he recorded his first solo album, «El corazon manda», for Epsa records, a label famous for producing great South American guitarists. The album features compositions of his own, as well as arrangements of famous Argentine folkloric artists. His work owned him critical acclaim and the admiration of a major guitarist, Juan Falù.

«The grace of the rhythm, the attacks and the accents, and above all the harmonic richness, the vibrant and delicate phrases, the emotion-ridden silences, the freshness and spontaneity, all of Moscardini's music is a delight for the adept spectator.» (in: Pagina 12, Buenos Aires 1998.)
