Dos ritmos, una música.......2006-10-06

Esta agrupación ha logrado ensamblar magistralmente el son, la salsa, con la música clásica. Una vez que uno escucha a Bach, Beethoven, Mozart reinterpretados por estos alemanes (Klazz Brother) y cubanos (Cuba Percusssion), no podrá concebir de otro modo la obra de estos grandes compositores.

Fantastic collection.......2006-08-24

Like others, I was skeptical when I heard about the idea, but this collection easily won me over. What I find so interesting is that the arrangements are so good, so creative, it's as though these well-known classical pieces were *written* as Cuban music. You find yourself completely accepting this genre-bending experiment.

Extremely enjoyable -- as is their companion album, "Jazz Meets Cuba".

Unlikely Crossover of Cuban Beats with Familiar Classics Yields Mostly Zingy Confection.......2005-12-28

Crossover efforts are always risky ventures that dance precariously between creative and contrived. There is definitely some of the latter on this 2002 recording, but surprisingly, far more of the former as the fruitful teaming of three German classical-jazz musicians and a pair of Cuban percussionist/vocalists puts a hearty Latin-flavored spin on some very familiar classics. Two of the Klazz Brothers, pianist Tobias Forster and bassist Killian Forster, took a fortuitous trip to Cuba and concluded the popular classical pieces they usually played could easily be adapted to the Cuban- and Afro-Cuban Jazz styles.

The beat-heavy results bear them out, as they developed fresh, energetic and lyrical arrangements of standard works by Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Haydn, Chopin, Schubert and others, that still respect the original compositions. The jazzed-up titles aptly (if a bit too preciously) reflect the changes - Mozart's Symphony No. 40 transforms into "Mambozart", Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 becomes "Salsa No. V", and Bizet's Carmen Suite turns into "Carmen Cubana". With titles like those, some of the pieces, perhaps because of their familiarity, come across as a bit too trite, for example, "Afrolise", which sounds bit too cocktail loungey to be too revitalizing a take on Beethoven's "Für Elise", and "Guten Abend", which sounds a bit like a somnambulant Vince Guaraldi take on Brahms's original lullaby.

However, the high points are abundant, starting with the three movements of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 8 "Pathétique," exciting pieces that feel culturally transformed by the sultry romanticism of the Cuban beats crowned by Tobias Forster's virtuoso playing. Also wonderful are the mournful "Czardas" and the conga-accentuated "Flight of the Bumblebee", both dominated by brother Killian's dexterous bass playing. The three others in the quintet are all equally superb musicians - Tim Hahn, the third Klazz Bother on drums, and Alexis Herrera Estevez (timbales) and Elio Rodriguez (congas), both of Cuba Percussion. The vital mix of sounds in what could have been a hopeless misfire makes for a genuinely exhilarating listening experience.

A unique piece of mixed classic/jazzy/south-american music .......2005-07-28

A unique piece of mixed classic/jazzy music which matches wonderfully in my collection. It is trully remarkable to discover the full classical music-education of these performers, which brings them to make this wonderful CD of high-standard music.

Interesting, but need to try harder..........2005-03-27

I found this CD after watching "Collateral". The music sounds very interesting when classic melodies blended with swing and jazz. But they sticked to the originial notes too much. I wish they could have created more variations and improvisation. Also, in this "Classic Meets Cuba" CD, the Cuba part needs to be emphasized more (putting them into a central stage in some tracks; the solo in the Fur Elise track is a good example) rather than treating the percussion beats as peripheral background. Taking the advantage of these vivid beats could further set the musicians free from the original notes. Overall, this is a good CD and is perfect for smooth jazz lover. Hope they can try harder and do more in their up-coming new release-Jazz Meets Cuba.

Sax on the mind!.......2003-07-22

I loved the whole album with the Latin rhythm salsa beats but it's not just salsa. Phil Woods, great saxophonist that he is, brings in the highly melodic jazz sax on the songs: Consternation, Pannonica and Repetition. It's more salsa than jazz, but the jazz saxophone melody that IS in the album intertwines quite nicely to the salsa music.

AN EASY LISTENING ALBUM.......2002-03-05

This album is quite good, but to be honest it doesn't have the right amount of jazz in it. It has more salsa than jazz and that's ok, but if you are expecting "the album" of salsa + jazz this is not the one. This album is easy to listen, and makes you happy, and that by itself is quite good.
But if you are looking for a nice combination of jazz + salsa the album from Tito "Golden Latin Jazz All Stars: In Session" does the trick, an exeptional combination of good jazz and Tito's magic rythms...

Salsa sinfónica, lo que faltaba.......2006-10-06

Este disco me hizo recordar que hace más de tres décadas me había maravillado con Sonido Bestial, de Richie Ray. Una pieza que en plena descarga, cuando está sonando como bestias, el solo de piano se lanza una melodía que siempre creí era de Chopin.

En aquella oportunidad pensé que podía ser un extracto de La Polonesa. Después me enteré que la pieza original siempre fue un extracto -o varios- y que nunca pudo culminarlo su creador. O por lo menos, de esto último estoy enterado.

En la Salsa han confluido más de un ritmo que le suponen opuesto, pero la riqueza de esta expresión musical es justamente esa posibilidad de confluir, mezclar, combinar hasta aquello que pareciera imposible.

Por ello, cuando escucho a estos alemanes y cubanos acompañados de la Müncher Rundfunkorchester y dirigida por Roger Epple, me sorprenden por la manera en que utilizan la estructura de piezas de Bach, Mozart, Beethoven o Litz para desprenderse con las congas y los timbales.

Después de haber escuchado Cinco Salsa, la Quinta Sinfonía de Beethoven ya no va a ser la misma. Al toque de las primeras notas de esta sinfonía, reflectivamente me llevarán a imitar a un congero. Y no me importará si desafino.
