Despite the value revisionists pretend to find in MacDowell and his contemporaries, the only really interesting 19th century American composer is the Creole Louis Moreau Gottschalk, who conquered Europe and South America with his colorful music and extravaganza piano performances. These recordings aren't new, and they don't include any of his solo piano music. But they do include some of Gottschalk's most characteristic music, in performances and recordings that are at least fairly good. It's a lot of fun for the money, and the accompanying booklet does a very good job of telling you what is interesting about Gottschalk's life and music. --Leslie Gerber

Gotschalk Festival.......2007-02-19

This CD had a piece that I was looking for everywhere that my father, a classical music connoisseur had been wanting for some time. When he received this CD as a gift, he was very pleased with the selection.

Very good performances of Gottschalk's works.......2005-04-13

The United States has produced very few great composers of anything that might be called classical music. Who was the best of them? While there have been many American composers, including MacDowell, Joplin, Rodgers, Copland, Gershwin, Sousa, Anderson, and Bernstein, well, how many were truly great?

My choice for the best of them is Gottschalk. And these discs give one a good idea of what he composed. A couple of "symphonies," some piano duets, some marches, a one-act opera. Yes, there are bombastic patriotic marches. And some precursors to ragtime. And plenty of what sounds like modern program music. Maybe my favorite of the orchestral works is "La Nuit des Tropiques." Now, is this performance as good as the ones by the Utah Symphony with Abravanel? Some folks think Abravanel's best one is better, but you may not be able to find it so easily. And I prefer this one.

Gottschalk's many solo piano compositions may be his best works, and they aren't included. But I still like these discs and performances.

An essential American composer.......2002-05-24

When I bought my first component stereo system some 30 years ago, Gottschalk was one record I took along to test the sound. Gottschalk remains as enjoyable now, but this cd would never be my test case of a stereo. The performance and recording are adequate but they lack the vitality one can find in other recordings. However, except for the lack of solo piano pieces, the album has a nice selection of Gottschalk's work and it's inexpensive. The last track on disc 1, Pasquinade, Caprice is probably his best known piece - a good introduction to his work.

Gottschalk's music is decidedly American - he grew up in New Orleans at the height of Creole culture. His father was of Spanish Jewish descent, his mother was French. However, Gottschalk began training in France at the age of 13. Thus he was very familiar with the European music of his era (1829-1869); in many ways, his music serves as a bridge between the European and American piano traditions - Scott Joplin being an example of the trajectory of American piano music. Depending upon your taste you may consider his music as classical, as salon orchestra music, as early decidedly American multi-cultural music or as just plain enjoyable fun.

My two cents.......2001-04-02

This is not a terrible album, but I do find it wanting. My greatest complaint is with the quality of the recordings and the CD's themselves (scratched too easily). My copy also has some misprints on the cover (the pieces are not listed in the correct order- if you didn't know any better you might think that you were listening to an arrangement of the Pourtuguese national anthem instead of "A Night in the Tropics"!). However, it is inexpensive (it is a 2 CD set) and worth it to those who are giving Gottschalk a first try. It also has an interesting and informative booklet on Gottschalk and the pieces featured (unfortunately I am not enough of an expert to verify their acuracy).

There are better performances.......1999-06-06

This album will disappoint Gottschalk fans. A better version of Night in the Tropics is the Maurice Abravanel & Utah Symphony. Only buy this one if you've already heard the Abravanel and want to know what it sounds like mangled by Europeans.

On paper, setting the irrepressible Cuban saxophonist Paquito D'Rivera with a small group and string orchestra to revisit 10 Latin music hits spanning a century sounds like a promising idea. In practice, there is less in 100 Years of Latin Love Songs than meets the eye. For starters, the criterion for song selection seems to be popularity, which produces a mixed bag. Some of these songs might have made it for their lyrics but are simply not interesting as instrumental vehicles. Not surprisingly, D'Rivera aces Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Corcovado" and Gonzalo Curiel's "Vereda Tropical," playing clarinet on both. But he can't salvage the tango "La Morocha" (in a corny, bolero-like, rose-between-the-teeth arrangement), the Chilean waltz "Ay Ay Ay," or the Colombian vallenato "Tu Mariposa." --Fernando Gonzalez

beautiful.......1999-04-25

this is really a very passionate cd. I even love to listen to it when I'm alone and vision my love for my boyfriend and how much he means to me.

Delightfully lyrical and uncommonly sensual.......1999-04-07

A brief tour through this collection incited me to search for it and buy it as quickly as possible. I've enjoyed D'Rivera's music for years and this CD is a prime example of excellence in rhythm, harmony, chordal strategies and a highly developed sense of humor and playfulness.

The polyrhythms and subtle nuances tossed back and forth between the percussionists were "killer." I especially liked the bongo work -- it is rare to find bongo playing so melodic.

As a former music critic for the Austin (TX) Chronicle, I instinctively look for flaws. There are no flaws in this collection. Buy it. If you have a developed ear for sensuous music and astounding musicianship, you will play this CD over and over and over . . .

Clasicos de las Americas has Good Gottschalk.......2004-02-23

This six CD set has the Central and South American greats, but I prefer the North American who did some of his best composition South of the border. Louis-Moreau Gottschalk had the life of a modern day Rock Star. He is joined in this set by such prominent players as Heitor Villa-Lobos, George Gershwin, Augustin Barrios, and Carlos Guastavino. George Rabol is a favorite pianist.
