Amazon.com Anthologies of Latin American music seem to be a dime a dozen these days and tend to showcase the same coterie of giants. The joy of this Dorian release--beyond its stunning, full-bodied sound--is its inclusion of music from lesser-known composers, namely Arturo Márquez, Javier Alvarez, Marlos Nobre, and Alejandro Caturla. Carlos Chavez, of course, is represented on this disc--which comes as no surprise--but his Chapultepec is a trivial parade-float miniature, a seven-minute effervescence that leads, thankfully, to Oscar Lorenzo Fernândez's extraordinary Batuque, a colorful orchestral romp that is already a classic. Chavez fares much better on this disc with his orchestration of Dietrich Buxtehude's Chaconne in E minor. Credit for this disc's success goes to conductor Keri-Lynn Wilson and her firm command of this wonderful music. --Paul Cook Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsExtraordinary orchestral show-pieces from Latin America Maria Luiza Corker | Brazil | 04/21/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "When I first heard this extraordinay CD, I immediately selected in my CD player three works to be played again in the following order of my preferences: "Convergencias" by MARLOS NOBRE, "Danzón 2" by Marquez and "Janitzio" by Silvestre. Those three latin-american masterpieces are the best symphonic modern music I had ever heard in the last 20 years! the orchestral sound of the Simon Bolivar Symphony conducted by Keri-Lynn Wilson is a joy forever! And Marlos Nobre became my favourite contemporary composer, after hearing this masterpiece of orchestral writing, of coerence, architectural construction and latin-american violence and brilliance. I have now three different CDs with different recordings of this modern masterpiece, one by Lemán Classics conducted by the composer and the New Music Philharmonia;another by Delos with Eleazar de Carvalho conducting the Paraiba Symphony, and the present CD which is a marvelous performance." More on the Chaconne 12/30/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Excellent disc (if you enjoy modern classical music). I actually think the Chaconne was rightfully included, since it is Latin American in origin. Below is what I found in the Britannica:"The sarabande and the chaconne were brought from Central America / Mexico before 1600. Both were considered outspokenly obscene in their suggestions of sexual encounters. They became extremely popular in the harbours of Andalusia, where they were polished and their pantomimic literalness somewhat moderated. From there they crossed the Pyrenees and were integrated into the canon of the French court dance."" WoW! Yolanda | 02/12/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "I can honestly say that it has been a long time since a piece of music has hit me in such a profound way! I loved Danzon #2. I think Wilson does a wonderful job...you will not be disappointed!"
