Chucho Valdés--son of the great pianist Bebo Valdés, leader of the Cuban supergroup Irakere, and a Grammy Award-winning artist--is one of the most acclaimed musicians from Cuba. This CD highlights the third dimension of his talents and shows off his classical chops. Trained by Zenaida Romeu, Cuba's answer to Nadia Boulanger, Valdés's Liszt-like technique, sprinkled with dashes of Art Tatum and McCoy Tyner, explodes on the CD's 14 tracks, which includes works by Ravel and Debussy. On "Chopin: Three Faces of Lecuona" and "La Comparsa," which also pays tribute to the great Havana composer Ernesto Lecuona, Valdés's technique is matched by his lyrical ideas. Of his own compositions, the Afro-pulsed "Wakamba" best shows how Valdés's jazzy, percussive touch transforms the classical idiom into something like a New World of keyboard complexity. --Eugene Holley Jr.Amazon.com
Chucho Valdés is an acknowledged master of assorted Afro-Cuban musical idioms. The Cuban-born pianist has been recording for nearly 40 years in a wide variety of settings, as both sideman and leader. Valdés is a large man (he stands 6 feet 4 inches), and his keyboard skills can include correspondingly broad chordings, played with powerful finesse. He calls Fantasia Cubana the realization of a lifelong dream. Piano lessons as a boy brought him an enduring love of classical music. Now, with a lifetime of musical explorations under his belt, he returns to that first love with confidence, exuberance, and delightful invention. This is a suite of solo piano pieces, in which his strong rhythmic grounding reveals some rather hidden characteristics in the resilient works of three masters (Chopin, Debussy, and Ravel). Valdés also celebrates his admiration for Ernesto Lecuona, the concert pianist and composer who founded the Havana Symphony, with three contrasting versions of "La Comparsa." --David GreenbergerCustomer Reviews:

Disappointed........2002-11-15
The renditions are overly simplified and after a while become monotonous. I was so disappointed in what I THOUGHT based on the publicity was going to be something unique and interesting.

Alicia de Larrocha : Spanish Serenade
Manufacturer: RCA ProductGroup: Music Binding: Audio CD Similar Items:
ASIN: B000003FCJ Release Date: 1994-06-14 |
Tracks:
Amazon.com
You can still find Alicia de Larrocha's classic late-fifties recording of all of Falla's piano music and transcriptions on EMI 64527-2, in performances marginally fresher than these. But the current disc has several advantages over the earlier recording. One is the glorious sound of a piano in the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall, one of America's great concert halls. Another is the opportunity to make the acquaintance of de Larrocha's friend Xavier Montsalvatge, who is still, in his eighties, writing music of great freshness and wit.If you love Montsalvatge's sense of humor, go for the present disc and give up some Falla arrangements. --Leslie GerberCustomer Reviews:
