5 out of 5 stars Brilliant Conducting and Essential Interpretation.......2006-05-07

Shame, shame, shame on the reviewer who says Domingo is not a conductor. This is the most moving, soul satisfying performance I have ever heard of the Rodrigo Concerto. I originally heard this on my local classical musical station, and I nearly caused a traffic accident when THAT passage played: I am sure you know what passage I am talking about. I am not exaggerating, this piece makes love to you. Most recordings are too fast and sterile. This one sent me orbiting.

5 out of 5 stars Spanish Soul Concerto.......2005-11-25

Rodrigo's Concierto De Aranjuez has never sounded more Spanish than on this EMI recording conducted by Spanish tenor Placido Domingo. Aside from his career as a tenor, Domingo has for a few years since the 90's developed as a conductor as well. This natively Spanish album of guitar and orchestral music is wholly suited to his talents. I love the opening movement, allegro con spirito, with its brisk, jovial rhythms and it is a sharp contrast from the sensually slow adagio. The rest of the album contains Spanish orchestral pieces and songs, almost the equivalent of Lieder. Especially when sung by Domingo, "Capilllas De Belen" "Un Tiemp Fue Italica Famosa" and "Coplas del Pastor" are romantic Spanish Lieder. The "Fantasy for a Knight" - Fantasia Para Un Gentilhombre" is admirably executed. EMI has done a lot of great albums that prominently feature Domingo and this is one that speaks to his authentically Spanish soul...and to the Spanish audience.

5 out of 5 stars "Adagio" is very authentic !!!!!.......1999-08-13

The second movement of this great composition is indeed the most authentic version I have ever heard since I first listened to this masterpiece 25 years ago .Andre Previn's version is also excellent. I have heard John Williams's version and respectfully submit that Manuel Barrueco truly captures the soul and spirit of Joaquin Rodrigo in a Concierto clearly composed for the Gods!!!!!!

2 out of 5 stars Big Disappoinment !.......1999-04-29

We were expecting that this recording of the Concierto D' Aranjuez came out to be the best, but it shows one more time that only John Williams's recording with the Philharmonia Orchestra bring to the audience the authentic message from the composer. On Manuel's recording is very difficult to hear the guitar and the sound sometime is very weak. Manuel decided to take a lot of notes out on technical challenge parts, maybe he did not know how to practice those parts or he did not have enough time to prepare the piece. I would like to say that Placido Domigo is not a conductor, a good musician can tell the diference between this reocording conducted by Placido and a recording conducted by a real and professional conductor. I will buy twenty times John Williams's recording then this CD.

3 out of 5 stars Nice repertory and singing, but give the girl some castanets.......2002-12-25

This recital was a mixed blessing. The program is well chosen. The music is exciting and alluring, accessible yet rare enough to be attractive to travelers along the byways of song. The performances are beautiful and thoughtful. Fink's tone is consistently attractive, her technique and ornamentation are impressive. But there are essential Spanish elements missing. Rhythms are not accented, with scarcely any rubato in evidence. She does not bite into her consonants or relish the typical Spanish sounds like "ll," "j," and "y." Part of the problem is in the foursquare playing of Roger Vignoles on the piano. In any case, the songs are captivating and Bernarda Fink's expressiveness is beautiful but undermined by this lack of flair. Though less effective than her debut art song recorded of Schumann Lieder on harmonia mundi, this remains nonetheless a record of lasting appeal.

The program is of love songs offered from the perspective of man, woman, and third person. This music is so rarely heard and worth hearing as to make the disc self-recommending. Spanish composers lean more toward collections than narrative cycles, and here we have some collections presented in full and some excerpted. Spanish art song conveys a rich bittersweetness, stretching the ear with tangy chromaticisms and veiled harmonies, their unsettling effect kept within bounds by recognizable rhythms, modulations, melismas, and other characteristic flourishes. Refined, yes, but never too distant from its popular variants.

The Granados collection that begin the disk has the first 5 songs rather centered on the pains of love, from different angles: deeply sympathetic narrator, a girl in the torments of young love, one man rueful, another wry and cynical. The last 2 songs move into more sanguine areas of the heart, the 6th a lighthearted folksong admiring young beauties at work, the 7th an exuberant transport in rhythms alternately propulsive and swaying. The Granados mini-cycle "La maja dolorosa" that follows is the best-known item in the program. Portraying three different women in grief, or perhaps a progression of grief in the same woman, the first song represents stark betrayal and disbelief; the second emerges somewhat, still distraught, dispossessed, drenched in desolate desire; in the third, bereavement gives way to a proud nostalgia.

The Rodrigo selection is astute: "Pastorcito santo" a haunting, gently lilting Christmas carol, "Coplillas de Belén" another carol with jazzy rhythms imparting the impatient joy of Christmas morning. "Por mayo era" starts with the heat of the day underscored by piano arpeggios (shifting neatly to depict a nightingale). The fullness of the scene is contrasted with the singer's desolation in the second verse, where the arpeggios now become fractured and acerbic. "Adele" is pure folksong, sad and plain in regard of the girl's demise for love, free of harmonic twists and other commentary. The set concludes with the vibrant and soaring "Cancion del Duero," with rustic images elevated by the rapture of joyous and world-embracing love, building to a thrilling final verse and a rousing sendoff.

The 3 Nin songs, while enjoyable, are more self-conscious in execution and the music a tad more bombastic. His arrangement of "El Vito" is too dense, not nearly as fun as Obridors's. "El pano murciano," about setting a kiss in silver, after a rather excessive piano introduction, does give into the simple whimsy of the verses.

The program ends with music of the singer's homeland, Argentina. Guastavino is very sentimental: "La rosa y el sauce" ("The Rose and the Willow") is a pensive elegy. "Cita" offers a charming scene of a lazy tryst. "La palomita" ("Little Dove") is in antique style. These are united expressively in a straightforward musical style. Ginastera is represented by a sensuous, sad tango "Canción al arbol del olvido" ("The Tree of Forgetting") and a collection of 5 popular songs. "Chacarera" is notable for its dense rhythms. "Triste" starts with slow arpeggios again depicting a dry landscape of the soul, the blankness pierced by the singer's stricken cries of "Ah!" "Arroró" is a lovely lullaby, with sharp insomniac harmonies and the long hours tolling in the piano layer. Ginastera's accompiments are restrained but inventive.

Though by rights this music ought to be close to home for her, what I found lacking here were musical traits that are distinctly Spanish -- the rhythmic verve, the bite of the consonants -- elements that would have given her performances greater personality. This is especially noticeable in the faster songs, where words are less distinguishable because of this weakness and accentuation of individual words doesn't come through. Berganza and De Los Angeles both have it -- you can compare their versions of "La maja dolorosa". Berganza's is on a 2-disk set on DG, De Los Angeles in a 4-disk compilation on EMI. Native qualities of De Los Angeles's voice, the inimitable blend of sweetness and sadness, give her an advantage in these songs. Her performance of the first features cor anglais accompaniment along with the piano, deepening the sorrowful effect. With this additional support, DLA takes a slower tempo resting on sturdy chest tones. The third song is underpinned by tentative staccato in the piano as the bereaved avows feelings and memories. Berganza is more confessional, but at times a tad lugubrious. Both have a piquancy to their voice that Fink lacks here. Even Margaret Price on an Orfeo disk of French and Spanish songs sounds no less authentic.

The elements of rhythm and enunciation are even more decisive in comparing DLA's performance of 6 of the 7 Granados songs, recorded live in 1971 with De Larrocha at the piano delivering more robust sound. Though DLA is less secure tonally throughout, her performances have a radiance that Fink's lack. "Mañana era" is very delicate with more sadness in the voice; "Mira que soy niña" has crispness of rhythm; "Gracia mia" dances, the rapid-fire phrases maintaining a contour that Fink loses. Though both singers have facility in ornamentation, De Los Angeles is more successful thank Fink because her placement and pacing are better.

The word "fabulous" seems vulgar when applied to the Spanish diva whose delicately shaded voice encompassed music from the middle ages to the present. This four-disc compilation emphasizes her song repertoire, to which she brought warmth, intelligence, linguistic integrity and irresistible sincerity. Her dignity makes listeners want to come to her, and she rewards them with an intimate, personal experience, especially in this small-scale repertoire by Ravel, Debussy, Duparc, Fauré, lots of Spanish composers and German masters such as Schubert and Brahms. --David Patrick Stearns

5 out of 5 stars Awesome musicality.......2006-07-26

This 4-CD set is a tribute to the concert career of the great Victoria de Los Angeles. The first 3 CDs show her totally at home in the art song of France and of her native Spain. In the French art songs, her silvery, creamy tone, her legendary legato and her perfect French diction make for wonderful and unforgettable performances. These include a sensual Scheherazade, magnificient singing in the Duparc songs and a phenomenal Poeme de L'amour et de la mer of Chausson (try to keep your eyes dry by the end of La mort de l'amour). In the Chausson, while de Los Angeles does not opt for the intensely Wagnerian approach, her sensitive singing more than does justice to the poetry and the feelings of the character. The Spanish songs showcase de Los Angeles at her most natural, flamboyant and attractive singing. The tunes are catchy, full of bouncy rhythms and De Los Angeles's fabulous voice never ceases to amaze. The 4th CD shows the wonderful chemistry between de Los angeles and the great Gerald Moore. While she does not erase memories of Fischer-Dieskau and Schwarzkopf in the Schubert selections, the Brahms songs are excellent and her Faure songs here are earth shaking in their elegance and refinement. The Italian and the famous Handel aria helps to prove De Los Angeles's reputation as an excellent bel canto singer. Her duets with Fischer-Dieskau are absolutely memorable and gorgeous.
The set comes with booklet including full words plus translations, helpful notes on De Los Angeles's concert career and a dozen of beautiful and rare black and white photos. Victoria de Los Angeles's concert career was as prolific as her legendary operatic performances and continued well after her retirement from the operatic stage. This introspective and almost encycopledic release is a real treat and is absolutely recommended. I totally agree with the editor's review who states that the word "fabulous" fails in every respect to fully capture the artistry of the Spanish soprano. Victoria de Los Angeles is definitely one of the most wonderful lyric sopranos of the 20th century and is one of the most heavenly artists to have ever graced the concert scene. A must-have for any collection.

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous? Yes!!!.......1999-09-13

The album is a marvelous sampling of this great singer's artistry. Her performances of the French and Spanish composers are something special. The De Falla "Seven Popular Folksongs" are powerful, passionate; the last song, "Jota," raised the hair on the back of my neck.

I was delighted to see Faure's "Claire de lune" on the album, and equally delighted with De Los Angeles' elegant rendition of this work. The only recording of the song I've liked better is from an LP featuring Frederika Von Stade.

As an added bonus, several duets with the great baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau are featured on Disk #4. These include some charming settings of Irish songs by Beethoven, and a gorgeous arrangement of "Let Us Wander" by Henry Purcell. I remember hearing these duets years ago on an LP recording, and it was a pleasure to hear them again.

        5 out of 5 stars Festive & Wonderful.......2000-02-08

        The Eaken Piano Trio is a glorious combination of terrific talent! They play so well together, it is as if there are six hands, playing three different instruments with one mind. Try any recording you can find of this tremendous trio!

        5 out of 5 stars Add a little "class" to your Holiday.......1999-12-16

        This CD, like 1996's "Home for the Holidays", has the Eaken Piano Trio providing a wonderful change to the usual holiday musical fare. Here we get some familiar, and some not so familiar, holiday tunes presented in an intimate chamber setting (piano, cello, and violin) with wonderfully inventive arrangements. At times the music is jazzy, at times "classical", at times light and bouncy, at other times quiet and contemplative. But it is always beautiful. In addition to Christmas numbers a number of these selections center on Chanukah as well. This music is perfect for serious listening - the creativity will amaze - also as background music for entertaining during the holidays. Pick this one up and while you're at it grab the Eaken Piano Trio's earlier release, "Home for the Holidays", as well... at this price you can't afford not to.

        I hope this talented ensemble releases some non-holiday music as well, to entertain us for the other eleven months of the year.

        5 out of 5 stars Pure Pleasure.......1999-12-01

        If you are not in the mood for Christmas, buy and listen to this CD. I guarantee your mood will change when you have finished. The choice of music and the sound is exquisite.
