Spirited playing of fine compositions.......2007-07-07

This Revueltas anthology is very well played by first class orchestras. The selections by Mata and de la Fuente are particularly played with spirit and verve.

Magical Compositions Brilliantly Performed.......2007-05-03

If you enjoy Bartok & Stravinsky, you will adore Revueltas. Among the 15 works are two versions of sensemaya plus Cuauhnahuac and La Noche de los Mayas, all richly evocative of the ancient Mayan culture which underlies that of Mexico - bold tributes to proud traditions not unlike the musical paintings of the Caucasus peoples rendered by Khachaturian. The music of Revueltas deserves much wider performance in the world, but probably will not be often heard due to its technical complexity and the need for specialized native instruments for some of the passages. At least Leopold Stokowski recognized the brilliance of this spectacular work.

Stokowski's Sensemaya.......2005-10-10

Great, great release. One of the reviews here (by "127") said that the Stokowski version of Sensemaya was interesting "historically but not musically" and I just wanted to strongly disagree with that. Leopold Stokowski has the orchestra playing in a different time-signature than the composer wrote! The piece is written mostly in 7 but this performance seems to have put the whole thing into 4 (it's probably more complicated than that but you get the idea) and the resulting performance is even more hectic and bombastic than the other recorded version of Sensemaya on the same CD. I don't know why Stokowski did this, but this performance is the most unique I've heard (of the piece.) Whether or not this is a "good" thing I don't want to get into but the recording is definitely very interesting and worth a listen.

A Compendium of Revueltas Works.......2003-04-09

Unlike many people I think, I've been a fan of Revueltas since I was quite young...I first heard Sensemaya at the age of 12 and was blown away. Unfortunately, for years most of his music was rather hard to find...darn near impossible actually. However, the composer has recently picked up a number of higher profile champions (including Esa Pekka Salonen) and a spate of rereleases during his Centennial a few years ago. Such a rediscover is long overdue!

This current CD is part of the Centennial celebration of Revueltas. It consists of a compilation of orchestral recordings by Eduardo Mata, chamber recordings by David Aetherton and the Jalapa Orquestra Sinfonica under Herrara de la Fuente. The results are quite stunning, with enough material to keep you listening for quite some time!

The first CD contains exclusively orchestral music under the baton of Maestro Mata. This is prime stuff indeed. The CD begins with Revueltas' most renowned piece, Sensemaya, a dense, barbaric orchestral fantasy inspired by a Cuban poem that details a traditional snake-killing ceremony in the Santeria religion. The piece is dominated by short pithy melodic statements which are gradually layered over each other to create greater and greater tension. The result is deeply compelling, Stravinsky's Rite is combined with Varese's Arcana...with native Mexican rhythms and instruments thrown in.

The other works on the album are also extremely compelling. They can be broken down into abstract orchestral works, chamber pieces and music for film. In addition, Revueltas shows two definate sides, one is the convinced modernist, who shows a lot in common with Varese, and even Scriabin. The best work in this vein is the Danza geometrica (and it's chamber version Planos). The other big vein is the "nationalistic" vein, of which Revueltas was a greater exponent than his compatriot Chavez. Many works on this CD, Itinerios, Homage to Garcia Lorca, and others display a sense of wild abandon present in traditional fiestas. And yet, even here, Revueltas is a formalist and modernist, treating his material less as color and more as another structural element.

The other really wonderful work on this disc is La Noche de los Mayas. Culled from a film score, this is beautifully written film music and quite ahead of it's time. It's not hard to imagine these Revueltas strains as an inspiration to Bernard Herrmann, Elmer Bernstein and the like. The work is structured as a large symphony, dominated by a broad, tonal but dissonant theme in the brass. There is a wealth of detail in this work that I come back to over and over.

Much of this material has very little competition. The chamber works have been basically neglected on CD and many of the orchestral works are only available on this disc. Sensemaya has significant competition however. Salonen has done a really wonderful disc of this material, which also includes a great reading of Noche. Bernstein has perhaps the best reading of Sensemaya available on his Latin American Fiesta album (which also includes a wonderful rendition of Chavez' Sinfonia India)But Mata's reading is nearly as good as Bernstein and just as good as Salonen. Overall, for breadth and depth of music covered, this is a superlative disc and the one to get.

Abstract but deep........2003-02-05

I've got this cd when I first heard of this composer. He is the biggest composer that Mexico has had to offer to the classical music scene. Mexico has a variety of notable composers such as Chavez but none of them match Revueltas impact on the scene.

This cd pretty much has all of Revueltas' major works including his most known one: Sensemaya. That piece has been conducted by Bernstein and Stowkowski with the latter being on this disc. There is two performances of Sensemaya which includes the one mentioned above and a new version.

The best piece I believe is Janitzio. If you are Mexican you will be reminded of Mexican big bands because Revueltas incorporated the sound into this piece as well as imitations of a Mariachi band. It is a very abstract piece but very remenicent of Mexico. Excellent cd as a whole.
The cd includes a booklet with information on Revueltas and the pieces on this cd.

lomejor de el sonido.......2003-08-27

No deja de sorprenderme que a pesar que este trabajo discografico,lleve tantos años encima, no deje de contagiar con ese ritmo tan especial y unico , como solo lo puede tener alaska y dinarama, y la sola voz de esta enigmatica mujer, nos deje perplejos con su androgeno estilo y personalidad.Perlas ensangrentada es un ejemplo de esta espectacular voz, Isis, tellega su ritmo a la medula.

CRISIS.......2002-11-05

el cd comienza con la cancion Crisis, este cd fue el primer disco
de alaska y dinarama....
solo que en aquel entonces de la separacion de Alaska y los Pegamoides comenzaria un nuevo rumbo para Alaska, ya que el mismo cd y la cancion crisis tambien la agrupacion estaba en risis en como se llamaria el grupo ya que Carlos Berlanga (qepd)
queria dejar Alaska como segunda voz y la agrupacion seria
Dinarama mas Alaska, pero como Alaska se merecia mas que una segunda voz... entonces el grupo se llamaria Alaska y Dinarama
con el cual el cd de deseo carnal les habria las puertas en America especialmente en Mexico con su conosidima cancion
Ni Tu ni Nadie, en este cd encontras temas como el egeo, perlas ensangretadas,cebras y las canciones que Alaska siempre canta en sus eventos, kali y sacerdotisas del baal.

Canciones Profanas, Canciones divinas.......2001-04-26

En este material se pueden escuchar temas muy variados, desde una tribu, pasando por un alusin, hasta llegar a la descripcion de un asesinato, algo diferente de cuando la agrupacion se llamaba Alaska y Los Pegamoides, Canciones un poco mas atrevidas y llenas de ritmo.

Hauntingly, addictively beautiful.......2000-02-28

This CD is an enchanting recital for mezzo-soprano and classical guitar. The title track "Cuando Dos" is a neoclassical tendril of melody with chromatic colors reminiscent of Fauré. Ms. Vázquez sounds more than a bit like the young Janet Baker, and at times her tone is even as burnished as Salli Terri's, of sacred memory. Mr. Márquez is confidently supportive, and the engineering job is first-rate. You should own this CD!
