Pärt fans take note
Beyond the musical composition there is an intangible, almost mystical quality to many of Pärt's albums, especially my personal favorite - Tabula Rasa. Maya's version of Fratres is what initially attracted me to this album. However, this cut is actually now one of my ...

Amazing!!!!!!
If you by chance still don't know what Kronos`s is about remember that there are two types of chamber music ensembles: Kronos and the rest. So if you have in your mind the traditional sound, aesthetic of a string quartet, go for the rest (Alban Berg, Ittaliano, Melos, ...

No Dark, Sullen Winter Here!
These days anthologies of a given leading musician with assorted guests are commonplace, and we have seen them in rock, jazz, blues, and even country. But Yo-Yo Ma is a classical musician who ventures far into other realms, from his Silk Road Project to Bossa Nova and ...

EMI Classics, 2007
It's All About Sound, Isn't It?
It's extraordinarily hard to comprehend what other people "hear" when they listen to music, or to guess what they expect to hear when they listen to new music. The reviews of this CD are dramatically polarized and confrontational. Okay, I should have expected as much, ...
Osvaldo Golijov: Ayre

Dawn Upshaw
, ...
Deutsche Grammophon, 2005
Lucid and Dazzling
Lucid and Dazzling. That's all there is to say. Lucid and dazzling. Golijov takes a good hard long look at Berio's 'Folk Songs,' thinks about what he'd do differently, and does it. Ayre is one of the most creative collections of multi-lingual, international, ...

A new chapter in classical music
For the ears of the only english speaking audiphiles, cante hondo, cuban son, and the offspring of the fusion of flamenco and african rythms and percussions producing the latinamerican sounds relates to fiesta and dancing, but the theme and lyrics of these songs very ...

Keeping Lorca Alive
This is a very remarkable opera -the first one- by Osvaldo Golijov. Ainadamar means 'fountain of tears' in Arabic, and it is also the name of an ancient well near Granada, where the poet Federico García Lorca was killed by the fascists in 1936, at the beginning of the ...

Anyone notice the cover image?
If you're curious, the cover image for this DG release is recycled from Bill Evans and Jim Hall's 1962 'Undercurrent' album.

Different Jewish Music
This CD consists of "real" classical music. The music of this CD is classical suites INSPIRED by Klezmer Music. It is a really neat collection. My favourite pieces are Manginot and Hakdashot because they feature the bass clarinet, a rarity in solo music. This is a ...

Passionate and contemporary
Matt Haimovitz's new CD demonstrates that contemporary music is alive,well and filled with purpose and passion. Many listeners who dismiss most new music as too cerebral have a surprise waiting for them in these emotional anthems to America written by our own ...

How Could You Not Listen?
My opinion pales when compared to this CD. Indeed the group's ingeniousness, its knowing and its balls are in full display here, hopefully to put to rest any lingering contention that there is little more to Kronos than form. To any person who accepts the merits of ...

Jewish Pride
This is such a fantastic and moving CD. Written with such exhilaration and power, Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind is sure to become a staple in classical music. What joy to hear the music of this gifted composer, Osvaldo Golijov.
Opera Fantasies for Violin

Naxos, 2007
A virtuoso violin disc that's unusual and refreshing
The fantasy on themes from an opera is a quintessential product of nineteenth-century virtuosity. Today Franz Liszt is so identified with this genre that it is hard to think of it apart from him, but many composers of the day tried their hand at it, and not all of them ...
