Editorial Reviews

La vanguardia,nov. 2001

One reviewer noted, "Reflecting her deep emotional connection to the music, she interprets the repertory with extraordinary sensitivity and sweetness."

Product Description

Lied: Art Songs of Latin America is a compilation of 25 of the most beautiful Latin American art songs, works inspired by German lieder and written by 20th century Latin American composers for piano and voice.

Works by Ginastera, Guastavino, Estevez, Ovalle, León, Ponce, Morales Pino, Calvo y Obradors, some of them recorded for the first time on this CD, are a thorough review of the complexities of Latin American sensitivities and musical expression. These are songs of extraordinary beauty with texts taken from the giants of Latin American poetry and letters.

The sweetness and understanding with which Patricia Caicedo interprets this repertoire and the quality of the works themselves make this CD a must-have for everyone interested in expanding their musical horizons to include what has been, until now, a relatively undiscovered but vitally important and musically satisfying genre

5.0 out of 5 stars This is terrific, May 11, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Lied/ Art songs of Latin America - Canciones del arte de América Latina (Audio CD)

I am a long-time classical music fan who had just a passing acquaintance with the Latin American art songs before I purchased this CD. Suffice it to say that I was enchanted by both the song selection and Patricia Caicedo's rich and supple voice. I can't wait for her next release!

Although the Latin American art song genre tends to treat fatalistic and nostalgic themes (Brazilians might call it "saudade") there are enough vivacious melodies like "Bonita Rama de Sauce" to keep things from bogging down. The total effect is balanced and fun.

Of course, the song selection would not get very far at all without the incredible voice of Patricia Caicedo. Taking advantage of her marvelous range and expressiveness, she simply doesn't miss as she captures the emotional essence of every song.

I was transported and wish there were more CDs to recommend this CD with!

This review is from: Lied/ Art songs of Latin America - Canciones del arte de América Latina (Audio CD)

This CD is a classic. Patricia has a clear pure voice, which sounds wonderful on all of these songs. She puts so much emotion into the songs. She visited the University of South Florida, where I had a changed to meet her. She is the sweetest person. She sang many of these songs for her recital. I highly recommend this CD. Her voice is not like most classical singers. Her vibrato doesn't control her voice, and it shines. Get it! If she ever comes to your town, do yourself a favor and go see her. She's worth it!
