5 out of 5 stars A Mega Star Arrives .......2007-06-27

At the risk of listener hubris, I can say for certain that this new addition, from just a few listenings, is a monster contribution to the many great works from a legacy of exiled Cuban musicians that have enjoyed a new found freedom outside Cuba. Anyone following Issac Delgado's musical trajectory ought to be aware that he is a major and veteran voice from Cuba and a singer who will undoubtedly provide a powerful lift to Latin music worldwide. None of his many self-penned compositions is formulaic or lyrically unsophisticated. His musical collaborations are not schemes for a badly needed lift to a sagging solo career. Alone or among other musicians like Adalberto Alvarez, Cheo Feliciano, NG La Banda, Galaxia, Los Papines, Elena Burke, Tata Güines, Maraca, Pacho Alonso, Victor Manuelle, and Gonzalo Rubalcaba, has not only led to many covered hits while still living in Cuba, but has afforded new listeners a chance to enjoy this artist alongside others. The group Galaxia for instance is made up of many young talented musicians such as Ramon Huerta, Diego Valdez, Angel Bonne, and Jose Miguel Crego.

Issac has an unwavering appreciation for both the literary and hard driving rhythmic demands of listeners and dancers alike. And while today's popular sounds are often weary and dull to some ears as when our musical memories or musical tracings perfectly match, Issac takes a different path by weaving and casting a tapestry of Cuban old and modern sounds fresh from the solares and social clubs of his native Cuba. Just when you expected a certain rhythmic pattern or musical direction would lead to a recurring estribillo and mambo, his music quickly shifts in a new direction with arrangements and accompaniments not heard before. He is a master of timba and you can't hear this musical idiom without tracing many of its elements to his vocal style or compositions. Issac Delgado has toured internationally and played with many great musicians. His compositions reflect an astuteness and innate ability to cull sounds and styles from many Cuban musical idioms and rhythms, and direct them into his own new offerings. With Issac Delgado you not only enjoy a sonero's velvety voice, impeccable vocal timing and musical sensibilities, but also an original artist with a selfless ability to listen and to move artistically ahead by design.

Album Description

This recital gives a fascinating insight into the many influences on Cuban culture: among them 400 years of Spanish colonial rule and 60 years of exposure to North American culture prior to the 1959 revolution. The music ranges across Afro-Cuban rhythms, twentieth century harmonies, elements of jazz and impressionism, traditional European forms of composition, the country dance form known as the son montuno, and contemporary harmonization of Yoruba melodies from the Oriente region.

4 out of 5 stars Solo Cuban Guitar Music Highlighted in Diverse Program.......2005-04-24

This is a highly listenable recording from Naxos spotlighting the importance of Cuban solo guitar music. The talented guitarist is Marco Tamayo, and the selections reflect a compendium of the finest among Cuban composers: Ñico Rojas, the self taught guitarist, composer and leading figure in the filin (feeling) movement; Harold Gramatges, the prolific and much respected classical composer; Moisés Simons, the composer of the popular "El Manicero" ("The Peanut-Seller"), credited here to Edward Simons; and Leo Brouwer, an otherwise avant-garde experimentalist. Although many of the arrangements are within the soft-jazz, Earl Klugh-like space, the pieces do not belie their Cuban heritage and range from the traditional dance genres such as zapateo, guiajira and son pregón, through Rojas' jazz-influenced harmonies to Gramatges' neo-classical miniatures.

The tone can be at once seductive and then later inspirational, yet what remains consistent is Tamayo's delicate and assured playing, which beautifully conveys the gentle relaxed quality of these works, Some pieces stand alone, such as "El Manicero" (which some may recognize as a variation of the tropical song Judy Garland sang in the "Born in a Trunk" number in "A Star Is Born") or the "Preludio" (the theme from the film "Soy Cuba") and "Canción Triste" by Carlos Fariñas. The remainder function as part of short suites, for instance, the lovely canción-danza pairing by Aldo Rodriguez, which gives a nice structure to otherwise disparate musical styles. The last eight tracks represent an adaptation of Yoruba religious music by Hector Angulo. Quite beautiful and atmospheric on their own, these short pieces convey some intriguing rhythmic drive and complexity that seem odd for a guitar by itself to express. But the Cuban-born Tamayo (now teaching master classes in Salzburg at the Mozarteum) shows impressive dexterity in capturing such emotions on the guitar. As a whole, the album reveals a repertoire well worth discovering and another dimension of Cuban music beyond salsa and the Buena Vista Social Club. This is another of Naxos' discounted recordings ($6.98), an excellent purchase.

5 out of 5 stars marco tamayo plays cuban guitar music.......2004-03-31

With so many guitarists recording the classical guitar standards , this is a refreshing album with largely unknown but also very interesting guitar compositions which are pleasant and substantial. The pieces give a good overview of guitar composers from cuba, played by Marco Tamayo, who is refreshingly musical and technically on top of his playing.

5 out of 5 stars The Best Yet.......2006-07-31

I think "Descarga en California" is Rebeca's best solo effort to date. It's awesome! I have all of her CDs, but this one stays in my CD player on a regular basis since it was released. To be honest I'm not usually much of a Latin jazz fan, although I am drawn to her music. I'm much more of a timba fan day to day. However, the compositions and the quality of the musical work on "Descarga..." is one of the bests I've ever heard. I especially like the drums and timbales on "Suena tu timbal", Serenata rítmica", and "Califas".

To bad I couldn't make it to Yoshi's for the release performance. It was just a bit far from northern VA. I hope she keeps up the great work. I can hardly wait for the next CD.

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.

If I have to name a favorite genre of classical music, it would have to be Baroque. I listen to it every day. Until a few weeks ago, though, I had never heard of Esteban Salas! I had no idea that Cuba produced a composer of this magnitude! He is so refreshing, truly a joy to the ears. I look forward to exploring all the works of this great master.

Forget the dreamy mythical Cuba and other sleepy nostalgia. It's reality time. Equis Alfonso, a.k.a. Alfonso X, puts sharp teeth on his internationalist pop, switching gears more often than Brazil's Tom Zé while exploiting a similar celebratory angst over modernism. Even when Alfonso bathes his angular meditations in a jazzy vocal setting as on "No Eres Tu," or lets chiming acoustic guitars define the territory on "Solo Tu Puedes Darme Amor," there's a tough sensibility at work. "Nada en el Mundo" sounds like a cross between Bob Marley and Steely Dan, and if that's a stretch, that's because Alfonso X has mastered the art of the long reach, blending jazz, funk, romantic rap, and the unexpected softness of old-time boleros. Alfonso earned his chops as a member of his parents' long-running Cuban rock fusion band, Sintesis, and his bittersweet compositions along with cool-hot keyboard-based arrangements make his first solo disc an ear-opener. --Bob Tarte

      This is a terrific cd. Not sure if concert recordings are a good intro to an artist, but some of the stuff here is very special. The version here of Amo esta isla is worth the price.

        Named after the famous cigar brand, Hecho En Cuba is another collection of songs sung by the leading members of Buena Vista Social Club. The twist is that some of these tunes are actually the classic versions that originally made the players famous in Cuba, while other songs have never been released. Ibrahim Ferrer, Compay Segundo, Eliades Ochoa, and Omara Portuando each sing two or three songs backed by various lineups. Pianist Ruben Gonzalez displays his jazzy flourishes on two of his own. There are only a couple of songs that overlap with the original BVSC album ("Chan Chan," "Ay Candela," and "El Cuarto De Tula"), but they are more traditionally Latin than the acoustic-guitar-and-African drums hybrid that BVSC producer Ry Cooder used. The sound isn't quite as crisp, and there are more effects on some of the vocals here than non-Cuban fans may be used to, but these are minor quibbles. Highlights include Ruben Gonzalez's sentimental "Como Siento Yo" and Ibrahim Ferrer's infectiously upbeat "Nuestra Ruca." --Tad Hendrickson
