Fiesta CD

Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars) 

 Lots of Spirt
Dudamel gets the group going. I bought the CD for the group. I played an arrangement of Estancia in band. I also liked the Danzon No.2, by Arturo Marzuez.

 The title says it all
This set of Latin American (mostly) music is played with passion and committment. This is music for both the feet and the brain. The DGG team captured these live performances in all their glory. Large and detailed sound-stage. These folks have this music in their blood. Listen and enjoy.

 This CD is just plain fun!
Wunderkind conductor Gustavo Dudamel leads the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra in a musical trip through 20th century classics from Venezuela, Mexico, and Argentina that is lively, rollicking, and rambunctious but also whisper-soft and sweet. In particular, Arturo Marquez's Danzon No. 2 will pick up anyone who's feeling down. The album has no weak spots and has the makings of a cross-over hit. Mambo!

 I was surprised....
I normally avoid these types of discs but this was a mistake at order time but WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE...sheer rollicking fun. Ordering the wrong thing sometimes pays off ROYALLY.
