Recent Releases No. 62 (CD Reviews)
[…] That said, we sometimes come across recordings that just seem to have something special about their sound quality. Note also that these three are not the stereotypical audiophile spectaculars featuring booming bass drums or huge brass choirs; no, these are recordings of chamber music. Enjoy! Spanish Impressions. Enrique Fernandez Arbos: Trois Pièces originales dans le genre Espagnol (Three Spanish Dances), Op. 1; Joaquin Turina: Piano Trio No. 2 in B Minor, Op. 76; Gaspar Cassado: Piano Trio in C Major; Mariano Perello: Tres Impresiones para violin, violincello y piano. Hermitage Piano Trio (Ilya Kazantsev. Piano; Sergey Antonov, piano; Misha Keylin, violin). Reference Recordings RR-151 As the three musicians of the Hermitage Piano Trio remind us with their new recording of Spanish trios, it does not always take an orchestra of 100+ musicians playing a symphony by Mahler to generate musical excitement. Chamber music can be powerful, too, especially the richly expressive music of Spain. On this new […]

Anglais - The Return of the Old Paper Aida at Gran Teatre del Liceu
[…] Musically, the night of the premiere was irregular. The percentage of debuting elements in the precision machinery which is – or should be – a theatrical performance has to remain low. Increasing it means dangerously heightening the risk level. In this Aida, were debutants at Liceu: the conductor, Gustavo Gimeno; soprano Angela Meade, singing the role of Aida for the first time; Yonghoon Lee, the South Korean tenor on the role of Radamés; bass Mariano Buccino, as King of Egypt; and baritone Franco Vassallo as Amonasro, Aida’s father. Too many debuts for a premiere. Gustavo Gimeno brought together well the orchestra and the singers, accompanied the singers prudently but didn’t obtain great orchestral shine. His work was good without being memorable. Angela Meade has a very beautiful voice for singing Verdi, she has a good higher and middle registers and offered certain greatly crafted pianissimi in the upper […]

Tangos... & Something More (CD review)
[…] Encuentros (Group Encounters) in 1979 to promote new music by Argentine and Latin American composers. Group members on the present album include Mara Blanco, mezzo; Claudio Espector, piano; Sergio Polizzi, violin; Carlos Nozzi, cello; Fabio Mazzitelli, flute; Matias Tchicourel, clarinet; Daniel Bilelli, bandoneon; and Ms. Terzian, conductor. Alicia Terzian The first selection, Aquiles Ruggero's "Mimi Pinzon," one of the oldest compositions on the program, sounds quite traditional, romantic and lyrical. The next one, Mariano Mores's "Cristol," shows us the contrasts in tango music, with vocals and background sounds and a less obvious tango rhythm. Then it's back to a more customary tango with Astor Piazzolla's highly melodic "Picasso." But possibly the most bizarre "tango" on the album is Jukka Tienssuu's "Tango Lunar," which is hardly recognizable as a tango so much as a collection of random sound effects and vocals linked loosely together in a semi-harmonic manner.
