Los Romeros Anniversary Album

Posted on 2011/09/27 by Soloist
Described as “The Royal Family of the Guitar” Los Romeros celebrate 50 years as a guitar quartet in 2008. At the 2007 GRAMMY® Awards, Los Romeros were honored by the Recording Academy® with the President’s Merit Award in recognition of their achievements. The story of Los Romeros started with Celedonio Romero (1917-1996). A self-taught guitar virtuoso, he taught each of his sons to play the guitar as soon as they were able to hold the instrument. Thus, Celin, Ángel and Pepe developed and brou…

Ades: Asyla [Concerto Conciso / These Premises Are Alarmed / Chamber Symphony / . . . but all shall be well] Reviews

Posted on 2011/09/27 by Soloist
Born in 1971, British composer Thomas Adès has rapidly gained an international standing as one of the most exciting voices among the newest generation of composers. His debut release, Life Story, revealed an amazing facility for experimenting with sonic colors, while the 1997 opera Powder Her Face–a polystylistic amalgam of savage comedy and tragic pathos–grabbed attention as a work of stunningly effective theatricality. The music gathered on this disc ranges from early works when Adès was s…

Zebra Crossing

Posted on 2011/09/27 by Soloist
This is neither the throbbing mbaqanga of the townships nor the ponderous classicism of Kronos’s African explorations. The Soweto String Quartet offer a light, poppy sound that mixes their cello, viola, and violins with a South African rhythm section and some touches of winds and brass. They move seamlessly between the scratchy, throbbing sound of Soweto (especially in some of the violin solos that really do grasp the wonder of the township fiddle sound) and the FM radio accessibility of Paul Si…

Complete Orchestral Works, Vol. 1

Posted on 2011/09/27 by Soloist
Hindemith was the greatest German composer of the post-War period, and the last in that great line that began with Bach and extended through the Classical and Romantic periods. His orchestral music is varied and generally extremely approachable, and the percentage of major works is very high. Nobilissima visione, Symphonic Metamorphoses, Mathis der Maler, Symphony in E-flat, and Concert Music for Strings and Brass are all popular masterpieces, while works such as the Symphonic Dances, Symphonia …

Ives: Symphony No. 2 / Creston: Symphony No. 2

Posted on 2011/09/27 by Soloist
This release is part of Chandos’s excellent American Music Series (#8) and it features two fine readings of works by Creston and Ives. Neeme Jarvi seems able to conduct just about any composer with feeling (is there anybody he hasn’t put his baton to?), and the Ives here is handled with reverence and skill. But the Creston is the true standout, since he doesn’t get the kind of attention these days that he deserves. His Symphony 2 (1945) is confident and stately in its unfolding. His music …

Brahms: Symphony No. 4

Posted on 2011/09/26 by Soloist
Loaded with German Romanticism and including variations on a Bach cantata, Brahms final symphony is a remarkable example of his mastery of symphonic composition. A rich, warm work that builds on a sense of movement and intensity right up to the final bars. This release also represents the completion of Bernard Haitink’s celebrated LSO Live Brahms cycle that has included the symphonies, Double Concerto, Tragic Overture and Serenade No 2….
