Golijov: Oceana - Tenebrae - 3 Songs
Golijov: Oceana - Tenebrae - 3 Songs
2007 | DG | APE + CUE | Covers | Booklet | 272 MB | 3 files
The opening movement grabs the ear immediately . . . There are no tango rhythms, no pop inflections here, just Golijov's voice – honest and deeply communicative – speaking as clearly as in any of his best music.This important CD is filled out with two other works, both just slightly less inspired than "Oceana" . . . "Three Songs" for soprano and orchestra . . . [are] exquisitely scored, and the sublime second song, "Lua descolorida" . . . has become a signature piece for Dawn Upshaw, who sings all three with gorgeous tone and laserlike intensity. All the performances are outstanding, with Robert Spano and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra providing fiercely committed accompaniment in "Oceana" and the songs. (The Atlanta Symphony Chorus and Gwinnett Young Singers also deserve special mention.) Deutsche Grammophon's next Golijov release is the "Pasion," scheduled for next year; one waits impatiently for whatever is next from this remarkable artist.
