LABOR RECORDS RELEASESBETWEEN TWO WORLDSThe Latin, Folk, Classical and Pop worlds of guitaristEDUARDO FERNÃNDEZThe new Labor release from the great Uruguayan guitarist Eduardo Fernández ranges from the great masters of South American music - classical and folk - to the Beatles and George Gershwin. According to Fernández, no instrument is better qualified than the guitar, with its double citizenship, to cross the borders between popular, folk and classical music. And no musician is better positioned to make the point than this enormously talented guitarist. His recording is both a personal homage to the freedom to cross borders and a celebration of the instrument that makes it possible. From the great folk guitarist-composers of Argentina, Brazil and Colombia to modern masters like the Brazilian Heitor Villa-Lobos, the Argentinian Alberto Ginastera and the Cuban Leo Brouwer, from the guitarist's own arrangements of the Beatles to Brower's evocation of Afro-Cuban ritual to duet arrangements and performances of Gershwin and Ginastera by Carlos Barbosa-Lima, Fernández shows everywhere the kind of mastery, ease and command of a wide range of idioms that tears down borders and fences. Fernández was born in Uruguay in 1952 and began studying the guitar at the age of 7. His recorded repertoire is phenomenal; 31 recordings are currently listed for companies such as Erato, Denon, Arte Nova, Oehms Classics and English Decca, a label for which he has made 18 recordings. He has recorded Bach lute suites, music of Luciano Berio, most of Paganini's music for guitar and violin, romantic works for guitar and guitar duets. REVIEW / Oakland TribuneThoroughly inspiring music from master guitaristsRecorded in Puerto Rico over five years, this solo disc finds Uruguayan guitarist Fernandez between "two worlds" --classics and popular, both of which are completely suited to the acoustic guitar. He plays passionately melodic solos by Augustin Barrios Mangore, Juan Falu, Leo Brouwer, Gentil Montana, Roland Dyens, Alberto Ginastera and George Gershwin -- "Fascinatin' Rhythm," (joined by the arranger, Carlos Barbosa-Lima). Finally, he says, "as a Beatlemanic of long standing" (he was born in 1952), he couldn't resist including two of John and Paul's more "classical" tunes: "Eleanor Rigby" and "Blackbird." Fernandez is a wonderfully free player; you'll tap your toes and sing along. --Stephanie von Buchau, CONTRIBUTORBioEDUARDO FERNÃNDEZ was born in 1952 in Uruguay and began his studies of guitar at age 7; his principal teachers were Abel Carlevaro, Guido Santorsola and Hector Tosar. He won first prize in the Andres Segovia Competition in 1975; his New York debut two years later won critical accolades. Fernández has returned to the U.S.A. every season since then, playing with prestigious orchestras as well as giving recitals, always to great acclaim from critics and audiences. His London debut was in Wigmore Hall in 1983 and resulted in a contract with Decca, a label for which he has made 18 recordings - solo and with the English Chamber Orchestra and the London Philharmonic - covering a wide section of the repertoire from Bach to Berio. He has also recorded for Erato, Denon, Arte Nova and Oehms Classics g performing Bach lute suites, romantic works for guitar, most of Paganini's works for guitar and violin, and guitar duets - all solo or with other distinguished artists. He has toured extensively in Europe, the Far East, South America and Mexico. He plays both modern guitar and period instruments, is an active composer and teacher, and has served as Artistic Director of major guitar festivals in his native country and elsewhere in South America.

America's most incendiary filmmaker, Michael Moore, returned in 2007 with this health-care-industry exposé. SICKO tackles material as controversial as the topics explored in Moore's other films, yet does so in a way that places the focus on ordinary Americans affected by the nation's health-care crisis. After providing some historical background on how our nation's medical care system became so ravaged and unfair, Moore interviews a series of individuals and families who have had their lives all but destroyed by the denial of care in the service of profit. While there are two sides to the gun-control debate and even a legitimate discourse for how to best wage the war on terror, it's simply impossible to justify how a baby girl can wind up dead because her mother's health insurance wasn't accepted at a nearby hospital. Moore smartly allows this and other stories to be told with little or no interference, conjuring strong feelings of empathy, rage, and deep sadness.
Of course, SICKO isn't a PBS documentary, it's a Michael Moore movie, and his fingerprints are all over it. Moore visits countries that have universal health care--spectacularly so when he takes several World Trade Center workers to Guantanamo Bay (and then to Cuba) to receive health care that they were denied in the United States--and presents a compelling argument for adopting a similar system in the States. Moore's ultimate purpose here is to compel Americans to care for one another, and it's a simple request that shockingly must be made via a major motion picture, making SICKO essential viewing.
Acclaimed filmmaker Michael Moore's new documentary sets out to investigate the American healthcare system. Sticking to his tried-and-true one-man approach, Moore sheds light on the complicated medical affairs of individuals and local communities.
