The most poetic one from the Tríptico.......2007-03-08

When Silvio was producing the three LPs as part of his Tríptico, I was desperately waiting for the next one. Years later, looking back I still can't give an objective assessment of "Vol. 2." This work came at one of of those moments in life when you "need" to listen something special, something that can go straight to your soul. What still amazes me about Silvio is the extremely high level of his poetic side. Unlike his outstanding music and arrangements (like that beautiful piano played by Jorge Aragón), for a non-native Spanish speaker his poetry may be hard to grasp. He plays with words giving a whole new sense with a surrealistic touch to common phrases. In effect, under Silvio's brush romantic themes are far from clichés. In Silvio's world, love becomes courage, struggle, fierce battle without losing a bit of tenderness. Water, rain, flowers are the common denominator of this "Vol.2" making the Caribbean autumn pervade through most tunes. Although social consciousness is not the core in this CD, it cannot be absent: "El Tiempo está a favor de los Pequeños" (Time is on the Little Ones' Side) and "El Reparador de Sueños" (The Dream Mender). This latter song with its lullaby waves is quite rare in Silvio's work, and is unique for its simplicity and balmy mood. Amazing! My favorite? Can't pick one unless -as I said- I become very subjective: "Ángel para un Final." This is a CD for those special moments when we need THAT special song. In this case you can choose from eight charming ones.

El mejor de los tres tripticos, si bien no el mejor album de Silvio.......2006-06-04

En 1984, Silvio grabo tres albumes titulados "Tripticos". De los tres, el que termino reuniendo lo mejor de su produccion ese anno resulto el volumen 2. Desde el primer hasta el ultimo tema, "Triptico, Vol. 2" no tiene casi nada de desperdicio e incluye temas que, tal como sus grandes producciones de fines de los setenta y "Unicornio", que precedio a "Triptico", se convertieron en clasicos del genio de la Trova Cubana.

Con la frase legendaria "Va a hacer falta un buen otonno, tras un verano tan largo," el tema "El Vigia" destaca en particular. A su lado se alzan "Llover Sobre Mojado" y "Angel Para Un Final". Si bien no es el mejor album de Silvio, resulta un album de transicion, con el que se prepara para lo que seria su sonido caracteristico de los ochenta, fusionando estilos y experimentando con mas instrumentos y arreglos mas complejos.

The word "fabulous" seems vulgar when applied to the Spanish diva whose delicately shaded voice encompassed music from the middle ages to the present. This four-disc compilation emphasizes her song repertoire, to which she brought warmth, intelligence, linguistic integrity and irresistible sincerity. Her dignity makes listeners want to come to her, and she rewards them with an intimate, personal experience, especially in this small-scale repertoire by Ravel, Debussy, Duparc, Fauré, lots of Spanish composers and German masters such as Schubert and Brahms. --David Patrick Stearns

Awesome musicality.......2006-07-26

This 4-CD set is a tribute to the concert career of the great Victoria de Los Angeles. The first 3 CDs show her totally at home in the art song of France and of her native Spain. In the French art songs, her silvery, creamy tone, her legendary legato and her perfect French diction make for wonderful and unforgettable performances. These include a sensual Scheherazade, magnificient singing in the Duparc songs and a phenomenal Poeme de L'amour et de la mer of Chausson (try to keep your eyes dry by the end of La mort de l'amour). In the Chausson, while de Los Angeles does not opt for the intensely Wagnerian approach, her sensitive singing more than does justice to the poetry and the feelings of the character. The Spanish songs showcase de Los Angeles at her most natural, flamboyant and attractive singing. The tunes are catchy, full of bouncy rhythms and De Los Angeles's fabulous voice never ceases to amaze. The 4th CD shows the wonderful chemistry between de Los angeles and the great Gerald Moore. While she does not erase memories of Fischer-Dieskau and Schwarzkopf in the Schubert selections, the Brahms songs are excellent and her Faure songs here are earth shaking in their elegance and refinement. The Italian and the famous Handel aria helps to prove De Los Angeles's reputation as an excellent bel canto singer. Her duets with Fischer-Dieskau are absolutely memorable and gorgeous.
The set comes with booklet including full words plus translations, helpful notes on De Los Angeles's concert career and a dozen of beautiful and rare black and white photos. Victoria de Los Angeles's concert career was as prolific as her legendary operatic performances and continued well after her retirement from the operatic stage. This introspective and almost encycopledic release is a real treat and is absolutely recommended. I totally agree with the editor's review who states that the word "fabulous" fails in every respect to fully capture the artistry of the Spanish soprano. Victoria de Los Angeles is definitely one of the most wonderful lyric sopranos of the 20th century and is one of the most heavenly artists to have ever graced the concert scene. A must-have for any collection.

Fabulous? Yes!!!.......1999-09-13

The album is a marvelous sampling of this great singer's artistry. Her performances of the French and Spanish composers are something special. The De Falla "Seven Popular Folksongs" are powerful, passionate; the last song, "Jota," raised the hair on the back of my neck.

I was delighted to see Faure's "Claire de lune" on the album, and equally delighted with De Los Angeles' elegant rendition of this work. The only recording of the song I've liked better is from an LP featuring Frederika Von Stade.

Que se puede decir mas sobre Silvio sino que es fantastico?
"Triptico Vol.2" es mi tercer disco de Silvio y me encanta tan como el primero.
Las letras, como siempre, son puras maravillas; la musica es muy agradable tambien, me gustan especialmente la de "Reparador de Suenos" y "Angel para un final".
Silvio es un trabador magico de los tiempos modernos, un poeta que nos lleva hasta alturas que imaginamos inaccesibles... Imprescindible...

When it comes to the glorious voice of Victoria de los Angeles, adjectives flow: charming, elegant, melting, and more. She had that unsurpassingly beautiful voice and style right from the start, as this terrific collection amply demonstrates. The first track, "Oh, Had I Judal's Lyre" from Handel's Joshua, sung in German with piano accompaniment, is a scintillating harbinger of glories to come. Her German lieder are lovely, without the tortured word-paintings others indulge in. The Spanish group includes her calling card, Valverde's "Clavelitos," and the disc ends with, of all things, three Hungarian folk songs. She was the most lovable soprano of her time; this disc tells you why. --Dan Davis

The Portrait of Victoria........2000-12-27

Those who adore this fine Spanish singer will need little urging to acquire this well-filled CD, especially when they discover that it contains many previously unpublished or elsewhere unavailable items.

In the latter category is the song "The Portrait of Isabella". For this song alone, I bought the CD. Having heard this lovely singer both in London and then during her several tours of Australia, I well remembered that she frequently used it as a favourite encore. So radiant was her singing, I used to imagine the song described a Goya portrait of a beautiful woman. All the more surprising, now that it is possible to read the words (all the texts are supplied with this CD), is to discover that it is in fact a bitter, sardonic song, exposing falsehood and misrepresentation. The singer contrasts the beautiful features depicted in the portrait, one by one, with Isabella's actual black teeth, squinting eyes. etc.

All of which makes a point about this CD. The ability to act with the voice, to characterise, to tell both pleasant and unpleasant stories, was not this singer's strong suit in the early years of her career. Contemporary reviewers often described the singing as "too ladylike, too civilised". If you accept these limitations, you will not be disappointed in this collection of Victoria de los Angeles early recordings. She is in beautiful, radiant, limpid and fresh voice throughout.

All but the last four items have piano accompaniments, all but one provided by Gerald Moore. Biographical notes are provided, giving especially full details of the singer's career during the years 1942-1953 when these recordings were made. Full texts and translations are provided, together with several photos including one taken at her debut in Barcelona in 1944.

An exemplary document for every Lieder and Melodies Singer!!.......1999-05-15

It's easy to see why Victoria de los Angeles won a prominent place among recitalists and was filled with superlatives when referring to her timbre, musicianship and warm personality.

She made her initial bow to London on 4 March 1950. Gerald Moore has written about that event: "Mark Raphael, who knows as much about singing as anybody, must have expressed the feelings of all who heard her that night when he said that he wanted to fall on his knees and thank God for letting him hear such a voice" ('Am I too loud?', London 1962.)

Because London is the House of EMI, she was immediately offered a contract to record mainly Spanish songs. She was not allowed by David Bicknell (her main producer) to sing German Lieder, except the ones that are in these transfers. Being a Spaniard EMI executives were afraid that she would not honor, say, Schubert, Schumann or Brahms, least of all Hugo Wolf. They even consulted the reigning queen of Lieder, Elena Gerhardt, who very graciously stood on Victoria's side. According to Gerhardt, the Spanish soprano's interpretations were free, spontaneous, and warm, with a very different approach, and yet valid, to that of the German singers.

Thanks to the previous is that we have these delightful recordings which come from the same epoch of her London debut recital; in all of them, Gerald Moore is the accompanist (prince of accompanists he surely was), with his fine legato playing and his unashamed way of accompanying her.

Victoria attacks Haendel'aria (sung in german) with ferocious coloratura and disarming warmth. Then we listen to her Schumann; she sets the mood for each one of the three songs, with an extra depth of her contralto-like low register in Ich grolle nicht.Then comes Brahms'Von ewiger Liebe, with her own particular magic at the change of key and the words 'spricht das Magdelein'. With generous fervor she comes to the climax of the song, giving to it all the energy and power at her command. Her Respighi comes from another world, Stornellatrice is sung by Victoria with a poignancy that set a standard which very unlikely will be equalled. It really brings tears to the eyes. And then, we hear her Spanish songs: Granados, Falla. Guridi, Turina, Vives, Nin... all of which have been praised by just about every musical critic of the day and after as being gay, spiritous, merry, elegant, witty, coquestish... I very much agree with these adjectives, especially when compared with singers of the calibre of Supervia, Caballé, Lorengar and Berganza. Victoria stands above them all, her timbre marks her off her rivals. The disc ends with two very rare recordings of Victoria at 20-year-old: two Hungarian folksongs, and I must say that she seems gypsy.

We all love Victoria (I hope) not only for her golden stream of sound, but also for the smile with which she always sang. Thanks to EMI and Testament for this reisuue.
