Editorial Reviews

* From 1987 to 1993 Renaud Garcia-Fons was part of the unique French all-bass ensemble L'Orchestre de Contrebasses before starting his journey as a soloist that led to his instrument's full emancipation. Arguably the most amazing double bass player in the world, Garcia-Fons is known for his overwhelming virtuosity, his Mediterranean melodic sense, and his charming con-arco sound. * Garcia-Fons shows a wide array of influences including not only jazz and classical but also flamenco, new musette, tango, Celtic, Andalusian, African, Latin American, Arabic, and Indian traditions. His unique artistry led to many exciting and successful collaborations with other globally minded players like Rabih Abou-Khalil, Michael Riessler, Dhafer Youssef, Nguyên Lê, Gérard Marais, Pedro Soler, and Cheb Mami. * In the tradition of his prize-winning albums Oriental Bass and Navigatore, Garcia-Fons concentrates on a flamenco-influenced core group on Entremundo. On his sixth album for ENJA, Garcia-Fons focuses his talents in a burning artistic statement that is at the same time pleasingly listenable and daringly visionary. * Formerly under license to Justin Time, now exclusively available from ENJA. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Music Damaged by Rock Style Mastering, April 15, 2009
This review is from: Entremundo (Audio CD)
I'll confine myself to sound quality, since it is rarely mentioned in reviews. Around 2004, Garcia-Fons changed from having fantastic, dynamic mastering to loud dynamically compressed mastering. The result is that Entremundo (2004) and Arcoluz (2005) have very little punch, and a rather monotonous volume level. The dynamics in the music have been gutted. As a result, there is little in the way of power or passion in the music. It's good for sonic wallpaper though, you know the stuff you put on but don't actually listen to. The sound of the instruments has also been degraded by the process of compression, limiting, etc. I would recommend not getting these two disks (except for the dvd with Arcoluz); and instead getting Alborea (1995), Legendes (1996), and/or Fuera (1999). Those disks are of top notch quality and will provide you with maximum listening pleasure.

PS: if you want to know more about loudness & dynamic compression go to wikipedia and look up "loudness war". It's a shame that it has infected acoustic music like Garcia-Fons'. C'est la vie.

3.0 out of 5 stars Prowess over poignancy, December 19, 2009
This review is from: Entremundo (Dig) (Audio CD)
3 1/2

Garcia-Fons does no wrong for his unique craft; even if the majority of tracks don't hold the compositional fortitude of an Entre Continentes these exotically technical noodlings hold enticing sway. Prowess over poignancy
