Saudades from Brazil,
By Hiram Gomez Pardo (Valencia, Venezuela) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Darius Milhaud: Piano Music (Audio CD)
Darius Milhaud was probably -among the reminded group of the six- the most intrepid, audacious and kaleidoscopic of the group. He found motives for inspiration into the Greek literature, surrealistic images and historical facts (In fact he wrote an Opera about Simon Bolivar). As indomitable traveler he was, his fascination for Brazil captured him instantaneously . For none of us is a secret the enraptured devotion professed by Darius Milhaud around the Brazilian dance rhythms. His saudades composed when Milhaud was working at the Consulate with Claudel in the early twenties. While many 20th century composers concentrated on vertical, homophonic structures, Milhaud's texture was polyphonic and mostly melodic. The three rags were composed for his admired friend Jean Werner according William Bolcom (his pupil) Milhaud never knew about Scott Joplin's piano rags, so when Bolcom introduced them the composer found them hopelessly old -fashioned. Fascinating and charming album. |
