5.0 out of 5 stars
A Bernstein riff in just the right spirit of jazzy fun,
By Santa Fe Listener (Santa Fe, NM USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bernstein Tribute (Audio CD)
I've never encountered the above Amazon reviewer boefore, but I cna only echo his enthusiasm for this jazzy riff on famous and not so famous Bernstien tunes. Proteus 7 is a modified brass quintet, and such ensembles, since they derive from music conservatories and symphony orchestras, generally feel squzre. Proteus isn't immune to a few flat-footed rhythms, but they soar above other recent Bernstein tribues in his centenary year (EMI reached into its back catalog for leaden and/or sleepy performances, including those by Leonard Slatkin that garnered good reviews in the 80s).
This is a CD of tidbits, centering on a single melody at a time. That's its only limitation, really. After half a dozen two-minute excerpts you feel that Bernstein is being put through a Cuisinart. But I'm not complaining. At the ridiculously low price of this tribute at Amazon Marketplace, anyone can afford to taste its delights. Dorian's sonics, by the way, are of demonstration quality. |
