3.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing and new, July 14, 2000

This review is from: O Boto (Audio CD)

Finally, after years of searching, there is a commercial recording of Ernesto Cordero's Concierto Antillano. I was fortunate to attend the world premiere of this work years ago and have been searching for a recording of it ever since. Barbosa-Lima, as expected, executes it with mastery. It is sad, however, that the Sofia Soloists provide such a bland accompaniment. This is Latin music, meant to be played with rhythm and gusto. The rest of the album is, for the most part, thoroughly enjoyable. I must say, however, that the Handel piece is somewhat out of place with the rest of the program. All in all, the CD is a worthwhile acquisition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful., January 26, 1999

This is a wonderful selection of pieces--mostly orchestral, many recorded here for the first time. Although some pieces are contemporary, they blend with the Handel (et al), and are very lyrical. I sometimes find Barbosa-Lima too stiff in his jazz/pop recordings (technical genius that he is), but his playing here is warm, sensitive, and emotional. If you like guitar in an orchestral setting (e.g., any of the artists that perform Rodrigo's work), you'll love this.
