Fiesta Classical Review 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.

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 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.

In an era where it's not uncommon for a superstar act to wait three or four years between releases, it's astonishing to realize that Carole King wrote and recorded a strong follow-up to 1971's bazillion-selling TAPESTRY that was released before the year was up! MUSIC was a big commercial success, but anything would pale next to the ecstatic commercial response to TAPESTRY, which was still high in the charts when this follow-up was released. The generically-titled MUSIC didn't spawn any hits as big as "It's Too Late" or "So Far Away," but with several decades' hindsight, it's clear ...

$9.99 | | Yuliya Gorenman Beethoven Piano Concerti Nos. 3 & 4 CD (2008)
Fiesta
$20.29
Award-winning Russian-born American pianist Yuliya Gorenman has rightfully been called a "pianist without fear." Now firmly established in her performing career, Gorenman first achieved international acclaim in 1995 as a prizewinner of the prestigious Queen Elisabeth Competition in Belgium. Since then she has been continually invited to perform solo, chamber, and orchestral concerts throughout the United States and in Europe, and, in the process, has earned consistent praise for her artistic fire, extraordinary virtuosity, and the depth of her interpretations.Born in Odessa, Ukraine, Gorenman began to shape her performance style while attending the St. Petersburg Conservatory. While still a student, she performed throughout the former Soviet Union. After immigrating to the United States in 1989, she studied first at the San Francisco Conservatory and then at the Peabody Conservatory with mentors such as Nathan Schwartz and Leon Fleischer. When Gorenman earned her laureate at the Queen Elisabeth Competition, she characteristically did so while on a precipice, as an artist between worlds, an emigre from the Soviet Union still weeks shy of her American citizenship. Schooled in two musical traditions but wholly defined by neither, Gorenman has since freely but carefully drawn on both heritages in performances of the masterworks of the baroque, classical, romantic, and twentieth century repertoire that have stirred audiences worldwide.After leaving the former Soviet Union, Gorenman earned a steady procession of awards and honors. Numerous television and radio broadcasts were carried throughout Europe, Russia, the Middle East, Canada, and the United States. As a fellow at the Tanglewood Festival she appeared in a PBS educational video for Sony Classical with Seiji Ozawa and Wynton Marsalis. Also at Tanglewood Gorenman gave a joint concert with Billy Joel, performing his classical concert works, which she arranged. The concert was broadcast nationally on NPR. In addition to solo recitals and chamber music concerts, her concerto appearances have included performances of Rachmaninoff’s Concerto No. 2 and Beethoven’s “Emperor†Concerto with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra on the Celebrity Series as well as Rachmaninoff’s Concerto No. 3 and Beethoven’s "Emperor" Concerto with the National Symphony Orchestra and Leonard Slatkin in the Kennedy Center. Gorenman performed extensively in the United States, Argentina, France, Belgium, and Switzerland. She has performed and recorded with the Bavarian Chamber Orchestra, the Hugo Wolf String Quartet, the St. Louis Philharmonic, the Liege Philharmonic, the National Philharmonic Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic of Flanders, and many other orchestras and chamber music ensembles.
