Lovely Anomaly.......2005-12-22

Ms. Topferova has made one of the most gorgeous Latin pop discs of the year...she's masterly in many modes: son, tango, samba, you name it, her smoky, sexy tones create a seductive, romantic and pensive mood...There's just one very strange anomaly about her though: she's Eastern European...But who cares? When you make music this striking nobody's checking your passport...highly recommended for Latin music buffs.

Beautiful and Romantic!! Another great CD by Marta!!.......2005-11-17

Finally we can here the great Edmar Casteneda play his nylon string harp with the beautiful arrangements by Marta. Very soothing, brought chills to my spine when I listened with my eyes closed!! Romantic, World (europe and latin influenced), and Classically inspired, this cd is perfect for listening on that weekend getaway with a loved one. I help program concerts and saw several in the last year, including legends from James Moody- Jane Monheit. Out of all those shows, Marta's and Joao Bosco, (who only appeared in Cleveland, New York and Boston, from Brasil) were my favorites.

Romantic y con ritmo!.......2004-04-24

Gisselle is back with a full merengue album. The merengue is kind of different from Voy a Enamorarte and her older stuff, but still has great rhythms and Gisselle's beautiful voice dances all over them. Overall the album is very romantic. Here are my favorite songs:
1. Contra La Marea--happy song! "Contra los dolores del alma, nada mejor que tu voz. Contra la nostalgia de ausencia nada mejor que tu amor. Contra los problemas, las penas nada mejor que el color de tus ojos de luna llena que inspiran esta cancion. Contra la padilla, tu fuerza, contra la marea, tu calma. Contra los pesares lo bueno, que tiene tu corazon."
3. Dolor De Amor--lyrics are kind of like Selena's Bidi Bidi Bom Bom. It has a guy rapping in a verse too.
4. Porque Te Quiero--starts as a ballad and then becomes merengue. really happy, upbeat and romantic: "sin ti, son cumpleaños sin apagar las velitas. dime que si, dime que yo soy tu favorita...voy a enredar mi cariño en las notas de esta cancion"
5. Donde Estabas--very romantic with a good beat. gisselle's voice sounds so beautiful in this one: "Donde estabas, que rincon de este planeta...para amarte, no me alcanzara la vida"
It's great, if you like merengue, if you like to dance, if you like upbeat romantic music buy it!

This album is a H.I.T !!!!.......2004-04-14

I'M A GISSELLE FAN FOR A LONG TIME NOW AND WITH HER NEW CD "CONTRA LA MAREA" SHE HAS PROUVED THAT SHE CAN HAVE SUCCESS WITHOUT TURNING INTO THAT BALLAD/POP STUFF.IN THIS ALBUM I SAW THAT GISSELLE HAS IMPROUVED IN EVERY LEVELS WICH IS GREAT =)ALL THE SONGS ARE GOOD AS HELL,CATCHY BEATS,CHARMING VOICE,AND A SEXXY LOOK THAT KEEP ALL EYES ON HER,WITH THIS NEW ALBUM GISSELLE DOESN'T HAVE NO CHOICE THAN BEING #1 (...)

WOW! Gisselle is BACK!.......2004-04-13

After her last disappointing pop-ridden release "En Cuerpo, Alma y Corazon" (2002), Gisselle seems to have listened to her fans by releasing this fantastic brand new collection of merengue. At first glance, this CD looks like it's gonna be another "8" (2001) which was mediocre to say most, but don't be afraid to buy this one -- the original Gisselle is back!

The title track "Contra La Marea" is an exciting start to the 11-track CD (which includes 8 cuts in merengue, 2 ballad versions of 2 of these, and 1 pop version of another.) "Contra La Marea" is an upbeat merengue track that give us a taste of what we're in for with the rest of this disc. "No Queda Nada" fakes out as a ballad but quickly transforms into merengue, and possibly one of the best tracks on the CD. "Dolor de Amor (Catapum)" can be seen as rather annoying and serves as the obligatory pop track of the CD, but the rest of the album is so refreshingly filled with the original Gisselle that this song is forgiveable and in time, possibly even enjoyable. (The merengue version of the track is worth a listen as well.) Other notable tracks include "Porque Te Quiero" (another ballad fake-out, turns into a catchy merengue tune!), "Confieso", "Atrevete" (possibly my favorite cut after the title track), and "Tienes Gusto De Otra Piel."

Ladies and gentleman, Gisselle has returned with a virtually flawless album that will remind you why you fell in love with her in the first place. "Voy A Enamorarte" has been my favorite Gisselle CD (although the disc is divided half and half between merengue and ballads), but "Contra La Marea" may have just taken its place..

The genesis of Lindberg's mature style.......2005-01-30

This Ondine disc collects a "trilogy" of works which inaugurated Lindberg's second phase of composition, which has continued until today and and has made him one of the most consistently fascinating of contemporary composers. With its complicated harmonies and endless invention, it's a whole new world of music, and well-worth picking up.

The style of Lindberg's youth was squarely avant-garde and it culminated in 1985's "Kraft", a massive work (the score is nearly a meter tall) of titanic forces using not only traditional instrumentation, but also lots of clinking and clanking on scrap metal and spoken word. The result, though conceptually interesting, shows music out of control where its disparate parts (up to seventy harmonies at once!) are not closely intergrated. He then produced a piece called "Ur" which marked the end of this method. After a hiatus of over two years, Lindberg returned with this trilogy "Kinetics"-"Marea"-"Joy", where his new compositional technique has him building giant networks of harmonies but keeping them all meticulously managed and interrelated. This is the style that has sustained him to the present moment, and in it he has created some true masterpieces of modern-classical music, such as "Feria", "Cantigas", and his "Cello Concerto".

Lindberg's comeback piece "Kinetics" (1988-1989) is the most notable piece on the disc. A work for a large symphony orchestra, it consists of two levels of harmonies, in which the softer "background" contains chords founded on the notes missing from the "foreground". The piece uses the largest ensemble of the three works here. I can't say much about it, except that I think this is tremendously exciting, lots of noisy relentless activity that is nonetheless held together by a scheme of progression. Not since Boulez's orchestration of "Notations II" has there been such a colourful that bangin' work that offers a great depth of analysis but which nonetheless is instantly enjoyable by a generation raised on rock and electronica.

"Marea" (1989-1990), scored for a "Beethoven-sized" orchestra, is titled by the Italian word for "tide". Indeed, the mechanics of the work are wave-like, and the feature which shows Lindberg evolving in this new fresh style is an "anchoring" of the harmony on certain points which bring the work a little out of modernism into neo-romanticism. Furthermore, Lindberg tries every couple of years to create a genuinely slow-moving piece (think of "Corrente" or "Parada"), and while he's using buzzing with amazing ideas to bring it off, this attempt is a bit more successful than others. The seeming slowness of the work combined with its (relatively!) simple harmonic structure means that the work will probably be favoured by the listeners who cannot handle the frenetic buzz of "Kinetics" or the long exposition of "Joy". The use of brass percussion at the end (I think it resembles a hyperactive Sofia Gubaidulina) is thrilling.

"Joy" (1989-1990) was commisioned by Ensemble InterContemporain and realised at IRCAM. The step in Lindberg's compositional prowess displayed here is a third layer, the timbral aspect of harmony. As one might expect from the high-tech setting, it uses live electronics, in this case a sampler (whose source material comes from the demolition of an old grand piano with a sledgehammer!) and a synthesizer. The synthetic sounds fit in well with the traditional instrumentation, though the composer has chosen to not use synthesizer after this piece. At 26 minutes, "Joy" is by over ten minutes longer than the other two works on the disc; it is quite meditative and calmly displays its ideas. I find it to be less exciting than the other two pieces here, though I understand how it was a key part of Lindberg's growth.

If you have never heard Magnus Lindberg's work before, I'd point you to the Sony disc with "Cantigas" and three other pieces conducted by Lindberg's old school chum Esa-Pekka Salonen, or to the Onine disc with "Feria-Corrente II-Arena" conducted as here by Saraste. Those two show him in this same style but fully mature, and are good entry points. This triptych, however, is the foundation of all of his work of the last 15+ years, and is worth getting soon in your exploration of this ever-impressive artist.
