not gonzalo rubalcaba.......2005-08-03

This is one of my favorite Cuban albums, I even like it better than Ruban Gonzolas' Chachullo because the piano is more prominant. The albulm is listed under Gonzalo Rubalcaba but the pianist on this album is his father Guillermo Rubalcaba. The elder Rubalcaba is considered with Ruban Gonzolas to be one of the two top Cuban son pianists. It's interesting to compare Guillermo's version of El Mansiero with Gonzalo's trio recording. Even though I consider Gonzalo to be the the greatest jazz pianist alive I still like Guillermo's solo version better.

Customer Reviews:

The first complete opera to have survived in a fine recording.......2005-11-01

Opera grew out of the court festivals of late sixteenth century Italy. The nobles were quite interested in all the arts and employed skilled painters, sculptors, poets, and musicians. There was also a great deal of interest in reviving all things Greek because they were seen as the ideal model for all things intellectual. Reviving Greek music involved a great deal of conjecture and imagination because only a few fragments of their music survive and it is by no means agreed upon, even to this day, what they actually mean. One of the groups of Florentine intellectuals surrounded a Count Bardi, which he called the Camerata. They wrote letters to each other, so we have some idea of their thoughts about what it was they were trying to do.

They called what they did the "New Music" or the "Second Practice" and music students learn to call this style monody (solo voice with simple accompaniment). It caused quite a furor among those who were proponents of the older style of counterpoint. One of those who opposed Monteverdi was a fellow named Artusi. Every music student reads his articles against those composers with "smoke in their heads". And of course, Artusi always comes out on the wrong side of history and made to look the fool. However, the art of these composers was shocking and their free use of dissonance compared to the rules of Zarlino and the practice of Palestrina, Ockeghem, Josquin, and others is jarring. However, we have a hard time hearing the difference in these musical styles unless you pay close attention and develop some familiarity with what the argument was all about.

Some of these Second Practice composers came to believe that the Greeks sang their plays from beginning to end. This is almost certainly not true, but the point was they believed it. Composers such as Caccini, Peri, and Monteverdi developed a style of solo singing they felt captured this idea and called it the "stile rappresentativo" (the representative style). It is this recitative style that Caccini and Peri used in developing their art. When you listen to Peri's "Euridice" you will notice that most of it is a very expressive version of what we would call recitative - the almost spoken parts between the arias - and that the aria as even Monteverdi developed it a few years later is almost nonexistent. If you understand that they were trying to recapture the Greek storytelling that they believe was a sung style, this makes a great deal of sense.

In fact, this kind of work was not called "opera" until the mid-seventeenth century (opera simply means "work" as in a work of art). Before that term came into general use, the composers referred to their works as musical fables or music dramas. However, our referring to all of it as opera makes sense given the genealogy of the art form.

Peri's "Euridice" is the first surviving opera we have in complete form. His "Dafne" came first, but is now lost. Caccini was a court rival and was working on his own version of "Euridice" and at the first performance there was apparently a mix of the two composer's works. But the nod is given to Peri and Caccini published his own version, but he completed his version later. It is interesting the Monteverdi also did a version of this myth, but called his "Orfeo".

This is a beautiful recording of this work. It is important to know that even though the complete opera in printed form survives, there is a great deal that is not in the score. A great deal of scholarship and artistic sensitivity has to go into recreating a version of this opera that both succeeds musically and has some claim of authenticity to Peri's intentions for performance.

You will also note the vocal style has nothing to do with Verdi or Wagner. This was for a much smaller hall with only a few hundred of the nobility present. And while it was first performed for a wedding festival and did not please those for whom it was written, it began a four hundred year development of an art form that millions adore and consider to be one of mankind's great achievements. I am one of them.

Enjoy! There is a very helpful booklet with these disks to help you understand the history and the libretto is provided in English and Italian.

Complete opera at mid-price.......1999-03-18

As Peri's Dafne of 1598 is largely lost this work of 1600 counts as "the first ever opera" (CD Box). With Gloria Banditelli as Euridice obviously this is a subtantial release for lovers of early opera.

Recorded in Bologna in 1992. Full libretto and English translation. Total time 101'40.

Good Music, but not the original Music from Nicaragua.......2005-03-03

The music is ok, but is is not a representative compilation of the music from Nicaragua.
For a better selection, do a search for the word "Nicaragua" in AMAZON and you will find hits from Carlos Mejia Godoy, Dimension Costeña, and many many more.!!

Pincelada Nicaraguense........2003-03-23

La música contenida en esta producción recopila parte de la inmensa obra realizada por los mejores autores Nicaraguenses una etapa muy importante en la historia de mi amada Tierra. La recomiendo en gran manera y espero que la sepan valorar. Vale la pena escucharla. Te gustará.

BEAUTIFUL MUSIC.......2001-09-15

I love this Cd since the first song to the last one. Starting with "morena hermosa" a marimba-backed son that invites to a dance. "Solentiname" a song which describes the military aggresions of the contras, this is the USA, towards Nicaraguan comunities.

Now that the WTC tragedy is going on and that the USA society is angry and sad they all must hear and read on "LOS NIÃ`OS DE AYAPAL" a song dedicated to a group of Ayapal children who were killed by the contras while flying.

Woman was very important in the Sandinista revolution "LAS ALFAFERAS DEL CAMPO" or "AY MUJER". Songs with love and intelligence.

¡Viva Sandino y viva Nicaragua, carajo :)!

Music with a heart.......2001-08-10

When I opened this CD and found that John McCutcheon was the producer/compiler, I figured I'd probably like it. The music did not disappoint. From the quietly intense love song "Sembrar la vida" to the triumphal Sandinista "Sin contemplaciones," from a charming and lilting tribute to a hometown, "Esteli," to the lively celebration of something as quotidian as pottery in "Alfareras del campo," these are songs with a HEART--for a person, a town, a landscape, a people, a nation's dreams. Back in the '80s, when I was a Central America activist and total Sandinista supporter, I would have been even crazier about this album. Now, after having been disillusioned with the Sandinista government and especially Daniel Ortega, the hostility in the blatantly anti-U.S. songs makes me uncomfortable. Still, there's no denying the momentous achievement of the Nicaraguan people in finally toppling the Somoza dictatorship, and the exultation in the singers' voices brings back memories of a triumphal time. Too bad those memories must now be tempered with knowledge of the Sandinista government's betrayal of many of the Nicaraguan people's deepest values, especially as regards their Christian faith. Which raises another consideration. Why are there no songs of faith or of victory in Christ included in this collection? The Nicaraguans are a very religious people, are they not? I see the lack of any faith-centered songs as a serious omission. Nevertheless, the music is fabulous. Along with the sheer diversity of voices, textures, themes and moods, the pure, fresh, from-the-heart quality of the music makes this a CD that bears many repeated listenings. I've been listening to it every day for weeks and have yet to tire of it! Another reason I love this CD is that I am learning Spanish, and music is a very enjoyable way to learn. Lyrics in both Spanish and English are provided, so you can figure out what it is they're singing--and then sing (and dance) along!

a great mix.......2000-01-07

I've played this CD at least weekly since I found it in 1992 and it never fails to cheer me. Whatever you think of the ideology behind the Nicaraguan revolution (personally, I have no very clear idea what the ideology was -- and don't know Spanish) the ballads are beautiful to listen to. And anyone who can listen to the first song on this CD without getting up and dancing around the room must have a heart of stone.

NOT SO "IMPERFECT".......2005-04-12

Emanuel Ortega is a singer from Argentina, His voice,and his music has improved so much since his firts hit "TIMIDEZ", Now Ortega returns with "Presente Imperfecto" an excelent compilation of romantic, deep and relaxing music with tracks like "Te Sueño Despierto", "Enamorandome Otra Vez", y "Tal para cúal" and other songs like "Es Tu Amor"(My fauvorite)"Mamita" and "Enamorarte". I really recommend this album cause his voice sounds more mature and clear than ever. Run to buy it. I already did.

Beautiful ballads.......2006-06-30

Bruno e Marrone have a wonderful sound, a little folky, sometimes a little melancholy, often with a vibrant rhythm or catchy chorus. I believe they are extremely popular in Brazil, and I hope they become more popular in the US as well. Don't understand Portuguese? That's ok. Sit back and enjoy the rich beauty of this album.
