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.

Eroica Trio, Classical Music Angels.......2006-03-19

The album, "Best of Eroica," demonstrates with heavenly beauty this group's musicality, technical skill, and deep understanding of the music they've chosen. This album is a "must" for anyone who enjoys piano trios and wants to relax surrounded by transporting sound.

Spirited style in a generous album--4.5 stars.......2005-12-09

This generous album (nearly 75 minutes long) contains 14 selections from the award-winning trio's other CDs. Thus, the range of music is quite wide. The artists (Erika Nickrenz--piano, Adela Pena-violin, & Sara Sant'Ambrogio--cello), though accomplished soloists, meld their playing beautifully. The Albinoni here is the shortest of the four versions in my collection--played with spirit. The Vivaldi demonstrates their virtuosity. I think the viola shines in Brahm's lullaby. The Piazzolla pieces remind me of the concert at which I heard them play; it was spectacular. Still, a few of the pieces are not particularly to my liking--though they are played well. Also, as a baroque fan I'd like to see some Telemann, Bach, &/or Handel. Most of the pieces are very lively--not too relaxing or useful for meditation--but great for listening. But then, as a trio, they are chamber music oriented. Still, IMHO the order of pieces on the album could be improved. Overall, it's a very fine album though I like the baroque one better--just a personal preference, of course.

Electrifying.......2005-08-26

I saw them live a few years ago, and was captivated by their group chemistry and technical precision. One of my favorite modern classical groups.

Better still, buy the other CDs.......2005-05-27

As a compilation, the ladies have selected a few cuts from each of their 6 CDs to give any listener new to the Eroica Trio--named in homage to Beethoven's 3d "Eroica" Symphony, not the crass misreading offered by a previous reviewer--a singular treat, and thus serves as a good first disk. But it is a sampler of sorts, and while I think that all of their CDs are good and worth your attention, they do range in focus and style from tangos to the Baroque, to healthy doses of Beethoven, Brahms and Bach--so suit to taste. The 5 star rating I give this CD is really for the larger body of work that this disk draws from.

I was prepared to have a mean rant, however.............2005-05-07

These ladies can play!! The chemistry and emotional fire is what makes up for the corny "Erotica Trio" title, but I ask you-what would you do as a graduating classical musician to get noticed today? Our cities are riddled with out-of-work and under appreciated young classical musicians, and it's partly our fault for not telling everyone about this great art form.
One day we may see a renissance in the musical arts where knowing the works & composers of the classical cannon won't be so rare- just imagine.

The trio delivers.......2007-01-18

The Eroica trio's album "Pasion" is exciting and delivers what it says: a passionate rendering of a variety of South American Composer's chamber pieces. While sometimes a little over the top, it is never dull and does not trivialize the Composer's work. It should be mandatory listening for any aspiring piano trio on how to inject exitement and panache into the chamber repertoire.

Lukewarm Passion.......2004-02-26

I am an Astor Piazzolla fanatic. I not only enjoy listening to Piazzolla play his own compositions, I also like to hear how others interpret his music. Sometimes its done skillfully, other times its very sloppy. Piazzolla is one of those composers who should be thoroughly studied before any attempt at interpretation is made. And those who know nothing of Piazzolla should never arrogate to themselves any right to an opinion on whether or not a particular interpretation has any merit.
Eroica Trio has been much hyped as a tonic to enliven the staid world of classical music ever since they began recording. That's fine, I like to see talented musicians stretching the boundaries of the classical world to include the works of both famous and oft-neglected Hispanic composers of serious music. That the three young women who comprise the trio are technically proficient, there is no doubt, but on Pasion they simply lack the passion that makes Piazzolla's music so mesmerizing. Only at the end of Otono Porteno can the listener feel the beginnings of a musical bonfire in the play of Erika Nickrenz.
The remainder of the works by other composers on the CD are enjoyable but simply too somnolent to live up to the promise the CD title implies. Being much less familiar with the other works, I feel unqualified to comment on the quality of their interpretations.
If you are a Piazzolla fan who has come looking for some great Piazzolla, forget about finding it here. But if you are a fan of classical music who is looking for something slightly out of the ordinary in order to expand your musical horizons, this may be the CD for you.

Authentic Piazzolla it is not.......2002-12-20

For those Piazzolla fans (a.k.a. those who delight in Piazzolla's band recordings), the lack of authentic tango sound, percussion, and rhythmic drive will keep you from listening for more than 2-3 seconds. Unfortunately, the Eroica Trio seems to think beautiful sound and smooth textures are suited to the style. Unfortunately, they are wrong.

Excellent.......2002-05-19

I had the privilege of experiencing the Eroica Trio at the Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning tonight. They were wonderful, lively, with an accuracy that causes the listener to feel every note played.
The small crowd was captivated by their young spirits, great music, and great emotion.
I can't wait to see them again in NYC

Wonderful.......2001-04-28

My wife got this CD for me for Xmas. I listened to it a couple of times, not with my full attention, and thought it was OK. Then I got to hear them in concert. Wow! After that I took the time to listen and really pay attention. And loved it. The title gets it right - I've never heard such passionate playing before.

Bottom line - if you're looking for some background music, this CD is just OK. But if you have the time to sit and listen, it's great!

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.

Before Piazzolla, Argentinean tango, whether performed in a Buenos Aires waterfront dive or cafe society boïte, was primarily music for a dance famously described as a "vertical expression of a horizontal desire." But filtered through Piazzolla's cosmopolitan outlook and intellect, it became a sophisticated yet still searingly sexy fusion of Argentina's rural milonga and African derived candombe styles with American jazz, European pop and 20th-century classical influences. Today, it's hard to believe that nuevo tango initially raised howls of indignation as Piazzolla's spell-binding bandoneon (accordion) and compositions ultimately won over the traditionalists. This compilation includes many of the late Maestro's best-known tunes, such as Libertango and two versions of Adios Nonino, an elegy for his father. From the percussive, Shostakovich-like thrust of Tres Minutos Con La Realidad to the keening, fatalistic bitterness of Milonga Del Angel, it is a collection to treasure, ideal for beginners and enlightening for collectors. --Christina Roden

Astor Piazzolla is arguably the greatest tango musician of all time and, from the 1950s onwards, he continued to experiment to test the limits of the genre. A virtuoso on the bandoneón, a brilliant composer, arranger and bandleader, Piazzolla conjured a sound that fused the evolutionary tangos of Aníbal Troilo, jazz, ambient and classical avant-garde aberrations. The Rough Guide To Astor Piazzolla is a soundtrack to the teeming city of Buenos Aires - peopled by colourful characters and incredible stories - and reflects his remarkable lifetime achievement.

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.

CANTANDO AL AMOR.......2003-04-16

Mi nombre es Victor Vera, tengo 35 años y me comunico desde Lima, Peru y les puedo recomendar este CD porque Perales como siempre nos transmite los sentimientos mas puros, como el amor a una persona y a las cosas simples de la vida. Hablar de este gran hombre nos lleva definitivamente a recordar la letra de "El Amor" que describe lo que realmente debe significar esta palabra, no debemos olvidar nunca el mensaje de cada cancion y el inmenso respeto y orgullo por su pais. A veces uno se pregunta porque nos complicamos tanto la vida y al escuchar las expresiones tan simples que Perales usa para escribir cada cancion entendemos que debemos vivir con mucha esperanza y respetando siempre a los demas. Les recomiendo amigos este CD que nos permitira vivir mejor. He tenido la suerte de ver a Perales en Lima en dos oportunidades y creanme que fue una experiencia gratificante que permitio dar un descanso al alma, como lo es escuchar este CD. Muchos saludos y ojala disfruten estas canciones tanto como yo.

Something different and enjoyable.......2006-06-12

I first heard part of the concert on NPR and was able to track down this CD (NPR's site was not a lot of help!!!)

Anyway, there is a lot of variety of sounds in this work, which surprised me and is what caused me to purchase it in the first place. Hard to explain, but very good music.

The recording quality is also excellent and deserves to be played through a good system.
