Despite global warming, Vivaldi's The Four Seasons is more popular than ever. But it still seems strange that Gidon Kremer and his Kremerata Baltica ensemble--a group that continues to stun us with riveting performances of lesser-heard works--would tackle the tried-and-true baroque masterpiece. Luckily, Kremer inventively separates each Vivaldi season with a corresponding composition from Astor Piazzolla's Four Seasons Suite, making for fascinating comparisons. Kremer's performances of the Vivaldi are remarkable, sounding solid and fresh. And like an infectious Broadway musical, Piazzolla's seasons always seem on the verge of a giddy dance number. Kremer really gets to show off on these tango-inspired pieces, but he's charming throughout. The programming probably won't make this your reference Four Seasons, but for those who love their Vivaldi in small doses or fans of Kremer's Tango Ballet disc, this is a must-have. --Jason Verlinde

Music ALIVE!.......2006-03-12

I really know hardly anything about Argentinan music or Kremer, but I bought this album after I became enraptured with the spring and summer suites at a ballet. My local company created a piece inspired by the works of expatriate artist Amaranth Ehrenhalt and set to alternating Vivaldi and Piazzola selections. I was amazed by how Vivaldi's Seasons took on new life. Everything was vivid and fluid and meshed perfectly with the dance. I recommend this--you can truely feel the seasons alive in all of their glory.
BTW: Rio de la Plata means River of Silver.

Full Circle With Kremer's Eight Seasons.......2005-10-19

Gidon Kremer has been building himself quite the reputation as an interpreter of the music of the late and great Argentine musical polymath, Astor Piazzolla. Here he takes the very well-known Four Seasons of Vivaldi and stands them up to the Four Seasons of Piazzolla and the result is an aural delight.
Most who are reading this are probably curious about this CD for one of two reasons: either they are Vivaldi fans, or they are Piazzolla fans. But who says that being a fan of one has to exclude the other? After you listen to this, you are likely to become a fan of the music of both composers and of Gidon Kremer as well if you were not already.
Being a huge Piazzolla fan,I never tire of hearing different interpretations of one of his most important works. The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires may be born of tango, but it is much more than that. It is a masterful marriage of classical elements with those of tango. Piazzolla could do many things with music and what he has created with his Four Seasons is an electrifying blend that will stand the test of time.
And so here is Gidon Kremer with yet another skillful and faithful interpretation of the both the spirit and the letter of Astor Piazzolla's music, cleverly juxtaposed with that of one of the Old Masters. Kremer brings us full circle with his presentation of the Four Seasons sequences of both composers, beginning with Vivaldi's La Primavera (Spring) and after a musical journey through the year, ending with Primavera Portena (Buenos Aires Spring) so that we finish where we began.
Kremer and his Kremerata Baltica do a virtuoso job throughout. Though I am a partisan of the music of Piazzolla, I enjoy Kremer's interpretation of Vivaldi as well. If you know and love this music as I do, then Eight Seasons merits an esteemed slot in your CD collection.

Rapturous.......2004-07-21

Parts of this recording are so beautiful that when I listen while working, I have to pause what I am doing and close my eyes. I don't remember how I ended up buying this CD (it certainly wasn't planned), but I am so grateful.

My rabbit hates it though. When I listen to it at home, he stamps his feet. So I can only listen to it at work. :(

"Eight wonders".......2003-02-24

Gidon Kremer's musical explorations were very famous from the beginning and during the last few years he is gaining almost a "classical superstar" status. I was a little suspicious about those beautifully packaged CDs with sort of "trendy" and almost too interesting sounding titles for serious classical achievements. BUT!! I couldn't be more wrong. "After Mozart" or "Eight Seasons" seem to be some of the most inspiring recordings I've heard. While listening to "Eight Seasons" at "concert" levels in a privacy of my room, I felt "goose bumps" for several times and I had to laugh out of pleasure, thinking: this is SOOO good. Gidon Kremer and his "baltic fresh" Kremerata Baltica are pursuing and tacking the pure essence of music. Programming the mix of Piazzola and Vivaldi doesn't seem extraordinary anymore. It is pure music, pure joy. Technical bravura and excellent sound are only side things. Tango nuevo - widely popularized music form and one of the most (ab)used baroque masterpieces join as one in a fresh and artistically meaningful entity. What more can we wish for ?
Piazzola sounds energetic and powerful and Vivaldi the freshest out of numerous interpretetions. Mixed in an interesting sequence they form a new "Opus".

I also strongly recommend "After Mozart" with its mixture of contemporary music and timeless, for many "godlike" Mozart. A recording that makes him human and even more divine at the same time.

From the River Plate (Rio de la Plata)........2002-11-10

The River Plate, an akward translation from the spanish "Rio de la Plata", is the widest river on the world. It both separates and bonds Buenos Aires with Montevideo, capitals cities of Argentina and Uruguay respectively. If I could ask Billy Joel how would he name this river, I think that much alike his excellent album "River of Dreams", he would call it "River of Tango".
Yesterday night I attended Mr. Kremer and the Baltic Kamerata's performance, where in addition to Mahler's 10th Adaggio, they played these "eight seasons". I think that for Mr. Kremer and his ensemble, coming to play to South America and precisely to the birthplace of tango, could be a "tour the force".
Well, he & the Kamerata were magnificient, classy. He kept us on our feet, applauding, for more than fifteen minutes.
This CD has capture the thrilling of his live performances.It is the kind of recording that becomes a milestone in our "audio memory", as Mr. Karajan liked to say. Enjoy it.

One-dimensional tango.......2007-03-04

While the technical aspects of this recording are beyond question, the nostalgic point of view the performers have chosen transforms these beautiful tangos in whinny pieces.... Tango is about melancholy, that's true, but it's also about machismo, and lacks anything but power.

These fine interpretations are nice to listen to as background music, but don't convey the power of the tango, and so, I must recommend anything else if you are looking for an introduction to this complex music. Piazzola's original pieces, for example, will knock your socks off, compared to the interpretations featured here. The only song I found to be worth on its own, is not a tango, but a beautiful danza by Alberto Ginastera. I have heard many versions of that song and this one is my favourite one by far....

Kneel in the Church of Tango.......2004-01-01

There may not be candles or pews or stain glass windows, but the realm of Tango has become an object of reverence for many. Most people have only heard the orchestral versions of this type of music and that is unfortunate. The original tango was a song - not a dance.

ALthough Piazzolla has made Tango accessible for the masses (and transformed it into a new creature in the process) it is Gardel and Salgan who hearken back to the roots of the movement. These are sultry tones, languid, erotic, passionate and exquisite. It is almost impossible to select any one as a favorite so I'll conclude that they all deserve a prize.

This is a Tango Bar........2002-12-13

Now you will know what it's like to sit, tears filling your already-empty glass, in a Tango Bar in Buenos Aires on a lonely night.

Outstanding!.......2002-03-04

This album contains the most beautiful, refined, and expressive tango performances I have ever heard. Not only that, but you CAN dance to them! The accordian playing here is truly fine and sensitive. Barenboim's sense of timing and rubato is always expressive, never excessive, and seems contagious to the rest of the ensemble. I listen to this over and over again and never get tired of it. An unexpected bonus to this double bass aficionado was Contrabajedo's inclusion on this CD. Bravo! You need to buy this CD immediately.

Tango for the world.......2002-03-02

This is music at its best: relaxing, precise, melodic, thoughtful, romantic, and entertaining all at once. You will never get tired of this album. If you enjoy the finer things in life, this is a MUST. There is not a single annoying piece in the whole album. I rate it among my favorite albums of all time. Truly timeless. Enjoy!

One of the best collections of Torroba.......2007-06-27

I think this recording is very relaxed for the most part. He kind of breezes through these with speed and doesn't take enough time on some pieces but David Russell is the cleanest guitar player around and these recordings are flawless. He lets you hear every note. Burgalesa is an amazingly beautiful, melancholy piece which Sevogia loved. Montemayor is haunting and tremelo is exquisite. Alba de Tormes is a popular and beautiful piece which sounds great. Fandango is probably the most popular piece here which overwhelmingly captures the Spanish feeling and which Segovia recorded extremely well (probably the most famous recording of Fandango) on his "Favorite Spanish Encore" LP and Russell sounds great in this piece, too. I'd rather listen to Russell play these than Yepes, Segovia or the Romeros.

One of the finest interpreter of Spanish guitar music.......2007-03-28

David Russell is one of the finest interpreter of Spanish guitar music. His interpretation of Torroba's music is one of the finest. David's performance of The sonatina in A major is very expressible, He plays the guitar with a lot of Heart and emotion, the recording he made of great Paraguayan composer Agustin Barrios Mangore is the best.

Good recording overall, a few issues.......2006-11-07

Probably one of the best things about this recording is that its a great collection of most of Torroba's great solo guitar music. Russell hits all the important pieces and plays them all with flair and accuracy. Russell's playing is very expressive and he tends to capture the esssence of the music. The playing is clean, beautiful and precise. Good tone, dynamic contrast, all the basics that guitar students spend years perfecting. However, Russell does play a little too heavy sometimes. I like to think that if Torroba were playing electric guitar today he would sound a lot like Pat Metheny with a little Spanish flavor. His music should never be too bombastic or heavy. Not to say that Russell never lightens up, but he doesn't always back off when he needs to. Some of the slower, more lyrical Castles of Spain especially aren't as effective as they could be. The other issue about this recording is that the track listing is WRONG! It should go like this:

Sonatina for Guitar in A Major
Burgalesa
Suite Castellana
Castles of Spain
Madronos (Not "Madranos")
Nocturno
Aires de la Mancha

Because of this glich in the track listing, all of the Castles of Spain tracks are off by one track as they are listed on the CD liner. It isn't even correct on David Russell's website.

The only other thing that I don't like about this CD is that some of the notes are a little weird. I know that there were differences between Torroba's original manuscript and Segovia's editions of the pieces, but some of the notes are either wrong or different from anything I've ever played from (and from what I remember that Segovia originally recorded). It's only a very minor detail as there may be some note decisions where Russell decided to preserve some original notations by Torroba, and I am always in favor of preserving the composer's original intentions over Segovia's rewrites if possible. It's not overly important, it's merely just a yellow flag to the guitarists out there saying that your edition may be slightly different from what Russell plays.

This is a great recording providing interesting contrast to Segovia's original Torroba recordings. While Segovia is the original "performance practice" version of these pieces, Russell's interpretations are for the most part very good. I would recommend listening to Segovia's recordings of Torroba as you would be cheating yourself to only listen to this recording.

Very good but not great.......2004-05-14

The reviewer "ivorx" has hit the essence of this performance right on. David needs to relax when the music calls for it. Torroba is not an intense composer and needs to flow in a more relaxed state. However, this is a very good CD of great guitar music by one of the guitar's greatest composers. I really wish more of Torroba's guitar concertos would be recorded by quality musicians.

A Guitar Lesson.......2003-10-28

Any serious student of classical guitar who wants to learn the music of Torroba and has unanswered questions about how to play these pieces needs this CD.

Musical grandeur.......2002-11-22

The other reviewers have given this disc it's due superlatives and I would have to concurr, it is sublime. You will not find a more beautiful, rhythmic or enchanting piece of music. As soothing as it is invigorating the guitar work is a marvel. I play this disc constantly and never seem to ge tired of it. You seem to hear new things with each listen, the guitar work is more dazzling each time. Being somewhat of a novice when it comes to the works of Piazzola I find that this disc serves as a good reference point for becoming more familiar with his compositions that were infused with his impecable standards of Argentine tango. This is definitely an excellent disc that shows off the talents of the fast and furious fingering of the frets by Sergio and Odair Assad. Recommneded for guitar afficionados who love the sound of the violin and bandoneon blended to perfection. These are Piazolla masterpieces that lovers of world beat who like their music flavored with a spicy tango beat will enjoy year after year.

Overview of even deeper understanding of Piazzolla's music.......2002-04-14

A few of the tracks found on this CD were originally released on previous efforts of the brothers Sergio and Odair Assad; so this disc is a compilation of sorts. But don't let that stop you.
First appearing on the late eighties recording Sergio and Odair Assad play Latin American Music, Piazzolla's Tango Suite, composed expressly for the brothers, has always been a favorite of mine. It just bristled with energy and vitality. The new recording found here is taken at a slower tempo with the most obvious result being a heightened sense of rhythmical accentuation. Piazzolla did once say that the most important thing for a player to understand about his music was the use of accents. Here you will find a feast for the ears and the soul. The other tracks all share this sense of deep sorrow and angular rhythm that drips from the music. I have NEVER been so taken by a recording. Not only does this CD provide guitar playing of the very highest standards but it also gives us one of the best readings of Piazzolla's work ever. Most highly recommended.

Sublimely Stupendous.......2001-12-21

Frankly, I didn't know how I would like this CD. The song selection is marvelous, but I own the Assad brothers' Alma Brazileira and find it to be very uneven and was a little afraid I'd find the same here. I did not and was instead very pleasantly surprised.
This CD bears some comparison to Al DiMeola's Plays Piazzolla album. Both are great albums, but the Assads concentrate more on fidelity to the spirit of the compositions and are less given to experimental wanderings than Di Meola.
Its hard to argue with the choice of music played here. Tango Suite is a difficult piece and rarely offered, but the Assads pull it off wth alacrity. The Suite Troileana is another rarely performed and very demanding piece given a judicious rendering here.
My favorites are a very melancholy rendition of the classic Invierno Porteno, Primavera Portena, Decarissimo and a spirited and very competent interpretation of the rarely performed masterpiece Francanapa.
It helps that Piazzolla violinist Fernando Suarez Paz is present on many tracks. His duo with Odair Assad on Bordel 1900 is exquisitely delicate and dreamlike.
If you like Piazzolla, if you like DiMeola, then you are almost sure to like this sublimely stupendous musical feast. My respect for the talent of the Assad brothers has grown enormously and I recommend this CD most highly.

Vintage Guitar Magazine Review.......2001-07-18

At their best, Brazilian brothers and guitar duo Sérgio and Odair Assad play as if they were one person---one person blessed with four arms. With their six previous albums for Nonesuch, they have won renown around the globe for their lush, multi-faceted sound, rich in counterpoints and rhythmic adventure. Since their New York City concert debut as teenagers in 1969, the Assad brothers have collaborated with artists such as cellist Yo-Yo Ma and violinist Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg. Along the way, they have recorded pieces by composers as varied as Scarlatti and Bach, George Gershwin and Argentine neuvo tanguero Astor Piazzolla. The Assads first meet Piazzolla in the 1970s when they were young music students in Rio de Janeiro. Piazzolla was then reaping his first great rewards for his New Tango, and Brazil was one of the first countries to rave over him, even more so than his homeland. After hearing the Assads play a guitar transcription of one of his own pieces for him at a dinner party in Paris in 1983, Piazzolla vowed to write a guitar duet dedicated to them. The composition, "Tango Suite," has since become a modern classic, and following Piazzolla's death in 1991, the brothers have kept the master's music as a central part of their repertoire. This new album is dedicated to Piazzolla's memory, and features nine of his compositions. They range from "Tango Suite" to parts of Piazzolla's stunning celebration of the four seasons of Buenos Aires. Also included are earlier compositions that have almost been forgotten, chief among them the glorious tribute to Piazzolla's mentor, master bandoneonist Anibal Troilo, "Suite Troileana." The pieces played by just the brothers on this album are charmed by a beauty and lyricism rare among guitar duets. They breathe a certain joy and happiness into the melancholic moodiness of Piazzolla's compositions---due in large part to the light sound of their guitarwork versus the original composer's bandoneon, which is without doubt one of the saddest-sounding instruments of all time. Yet the songs where the Assads are joined by the violins of Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg and Fernando Suarez Paz or Marcelo Nisinman's bandoneon have even more impact with the third dimension coming from the added instruments providing counterpoint to the guitars. This is a stunning album.

Album Description

With his ninth album, "Piazzolla Forever" (Dreyfus Jazz) Galliano pays homage to one of his earliest inspirations, the man he often refers to as his "spiritual father." Rearranging 10 compositions by Piazzolla for accordion or bandoneon, piano and string quintet, he and the Richard Galliano Septet transform each tune into a personal statement of stirring beauty. Recorded on the sold-out world tour of the same name, "Piazzolla Forever" includes such classic Piazzolla compositions as "Le Quartre Saisons De Buenos Aires", "Libertango" and "Milonga Del Angel", but, with the guitar of Piazzolla's original recordings replaced by violin, viola and cello, the timbre and free-flowing improvisation reflect Galliano's unique musical vision.

An Inspired Homage.......2004-03-24

Being a long-time fan of Astor Piazzolla, I am always seeking out performers who profess the same love for his work that I have. And having come to know about Richard Galliano through this site, I did not hesitate to order this CD when it first came to my notice.
With Piazzolla Forever, Galliano and his septet offer the listener a spectacular and virtuoso interpretation of some of the best known middle to late period compositions of the late Argentine musical giant.
Doing at least two of the Four Seasons of Buenos Aires has become de rigeur for any artist who dares to attempt Piazzolla. Galliano gives us all four, and in splendid fashion at that. In addition, we are treated to fine renditions of Milonga del Angel, Sur, Michelangelo 70, Escualo, as well as an extended solo interpretation of the classic Libertango by Galliano himself. As an added treat, a piece of the rarely covered Aconcagua is performed and Galliano slips in a little composition of his own in personal tribute to Piazzolla and his wife Laura. This recording is so good, it is hard to tell that it is live but for the occasional applause.
Galliano and his able sidemen show that they have learned the covered material inside out. I highly recommend this inspired work of homage to all fans of both Galliano and Piazzolla. You won't be sorry you bought it.

This is what music is all about.......2003-12-27

Got this for christmas from some hoity toity friends. Must admit I wasnt too impressed by the cover. Almost put it in the recycle bin for next year. But I gave it a try. Initially I used it for low background music just to give it a chance. Since then the volume has risen to normal istening levels and I must say this is a real unique musical experience. Difficult to describe the stlye, though I would say it has a very French 40's to 50's stlye. Acordians,violins,violas and similar. The recording is done live but its not obvious. For music I give it 88% and recording 92%. This is an treasure waiting to be unearthed for those brave enough to splash the cash.

Latest album from Paloma.......2007-03-28

I just returned from Madrid where I purchased my copy of Invierno Sur at El Corte Ingles. The same night I saw Paloma on television promoting the album and singing one of the selections.She looked as beautiful as her voice. Fans of Spain's most famous chanteuse will love this new release.The songs are varied in tone and style. The title song is an especially beautiful ballad. The arrangements are great and the digital sound is state-of-the art. The liner notes contain the lyrics for all of the songs. Paloma is in fine artistic form!

Wow.......2003-07-25

By far the best of Sui Generis. Don't bother buying the 'Greatest Hits,' they're all on this album! Even though they're from the 70's the music still sounds great!

Product Description

Encores are the answer when music lovers want more. Now the Pittsburgh Piano Trio has followed up its superb album of music by Frank Bridge with a second disc this year devoted to those short musical delights. The group brings fresh imagination and zest to its programming and performances of tangos, waltzes, ragtime and other popular miniatures... If most of the arrangements, which reach their wildest in music by American rag-time master Scott Joplin, exemplify the freedom and lively rhythms of contemporary classical crossover sensibility, the final encore is old-time grab 'em-by-the-heart music making.
