This review is from: Music of Venezuela (Audio CD)

This is an extraordinary album, by an extraordinary group of musicians.

I bought it as a keepsake of seeing Granados and Un Mundo Ensemble at the National Flute Convention in Kansas City, MO this past week. As amazing as this recording is, a live performance (YouTube doesn't count, sorry) is even more of a revelation. Watching the cuatro player's hands literally blur across the strings, the bassist's virtuosic yet nuanced stylings, and of course Marcos' energy (he even leaped while playing) is a real joy to behold.

The only thing missing from the album itself is liner notes on the songs, and the song forms in general. Marcos is very passionate about explaining these distinctions in a live setting, and I'm not sure they would have been as obvious to me otherwise.

Still, like others have said... top shelf in all other respects. Get it, and smile!

Marco's new CD is amazing. His flute playing is a mixture of beautiful sound, perfect technic and extreme virtuosity. The album consists of carefully selected venezuelan music, which is different, powerful and absolutely joyful. I believe this CD is a-must-have for a flutist as well as a great treat for everyone else who likes good music.
Compliments go to the Un Mundo Ensemble as well.

Marco and his band are amazing musicians, and they really bring the joy and vibrancy of Venezuelan music to life in this album. It puts a smile on my face, and I just want to get up and dance!
