Fiesta

Reseña del editor Gustavo Dudamel and his Simsn Bolmvar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela have stunned audiences worldwide with their explosive Latin-American showpieces. Now this experience has been captured on FIESTA, a unique album that no other conductor or orchestra in the world could deliver. The recording captures the passion and excitement of such contrasting showpieces as the rhythmically driven Sensemaya of Revueltas, the expansively luscious Danzsn No. 2 of Marquez, the vibrant ballet suite Estancia by Ginastera, and the irresistible high spirits of their signature encore, Bernstein's Mambo from "West Side Story." Tienda Gustavo Dudamel, the still-not-30 Venezuelan conductor is living up to his hype. After a couple of remarkably successful recordings of music by Mahler and Beethoven, he and his Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela now turn their attention to music of Latin America (with a bow to Leonard Bernstein’s Mambo from West Side Story) and the result is absolutely joyful. The emphasis, as you might guess, is on dance and rhythm, although there are some introspective moments as well. Revueltas' angular, somewhat sinister "Sensemayá" fascinates, while Estevez' "Mediodia en el Liano" is like a poem to Venezuelan nature. "Danzon no. 2" begins in a relaxed, reflective manner, but composer Arturo Marquez surprises with growing, passionate dance rhythms. This isn’t a "dance party" CD, it's a collection of infectious, exciting, energetic pieces that happen to be dances as well. Dudamel’s SBYO obviously love this music and offer it up in sizzling performances. Some of this music was written for festivals, and you can feel the enthusiasm. Bernstein's "Mambo," will, in fact, make you want to mambo – you can practically see the orchestra members dancing. In short, this recording is unique and vastly entertaining. -- Robert Levine Críticas "It wasn't just the promenaders who were on their feet at the climax of this sensational concert from Venezuela's hottest and most inspiring export: the entire audience and orchestra were stomping to the furious beat of the Malambo from Ginastera's `Estancia' . . . It was a joyous and edifying spec¬tacle . . ." -- The Independent, London"The stomping rhythms coming off the stage and up from the floor had such potency that it felt distinctly strange to be sitting motionless in a concert hall: we should have been dancing. -- Concert review, Carnegie Hall, New Yorker
