5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Poetic One Out Of The Tríptico, February 24, 2002

This review is from: Vol. 2-Triptico (Audio CD)

When Silvio was producing the three LPs as part of his Tríptico, I was desperately waiting for the next one. Years later, looking back I still can't give an objective assessment of "Vol. 2." This work came at one of of those moments in life when you "need" to listen something special, something that can go straight to your soul. What still amazes me about Silvio is the extremely high level of his poetic side. Unlike his outstanding music and arrangements (like that beautiful piano played by Jorge Aragón), for a non-native Spanish speaker his poetry may be hard to grasp. He plays with words giving a whole new sense with a surrealistic touch to common phrases. In effect, under Silvio's brush romantic themes are far from clichés. In Silvio's world, love becomes courage, struggle, fierce battle without losing a bit of tenderness. Water, rain, flowers are the common denominator of this "Vol.2" making the Caribbean autumn pervade through most tunes. Although social consciousness is not the core in this CD, it cannot be absent: "El Tiempo está a favor de los Pequeños" (Time is on the Little Ones' Side) and "El Reparador de Sueños" (The Dream Mender). This latter song with its lullaby waves is quite rare in Silvio's work, and is unique for its simplicity and balmy mood. Amazing! My favorite? Can't pick one unless -as I said- I become very subjective: "Ángel para un Final." This is a CD for those special moments when we need THAT special song. In this case you can choose from eight charming ones.

4.0 out of 5 stars El mejor de los tres tripticos, si bien no el mejor album de Silvio, June 4, 2006

This review is from: Triptico 2 (Audio CD)

En 1984, Silvio grabo tres albumes titulados "Tripticos". De los tres, el que termino reuniendo lo mejor de su produccion ese anno resulto el volumen 2. Desde el primer hasta el ultimo tema, "Triptico, Vol. 2" no tiene casi nada de desperdicio e incluye temas que, tal como sus grandes producciones de fines de los setenta y "Unicornio", que precedio a "Triptico", se convertieron en clasicos del genio de la Trova Cubana.

Con la frase legendaria "Va a hacer falta un buen otonno, tras un verano tan largo," el tema "El Vigia" destaca en particular. A su lado se alzan "Llover Sobre Mojado" y "Angel Para Un Final". Si bien no es el mejor album de Silvio, resulta un album de transicion, con el que se prepara para lo que seria su sonido caracteristico de los ochenta, fusionando estilos y experimentando con mas instrumentos y arreglos mas complejos.
