CD Reviews

Delightful, Sparkling Salon Music

Peter Van Hove | Riverside, CA USA | 03/21/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I saw this album on display at a record store in Vancouver several years ago, and, on a whim, decided to buy it. It greatly exceeded my expectations. The arrangements are creative and imaginative; the playing, superb. Lively tangos are mixed with light classics and operetta. I have subsequently bought other discs with "salon" music that are quite enjoyable, but they do not seem to show the inventiveness of Viveza. Regrettably this disc and its equally enjoyable sequel, Viveza Encore, are out of print. I am waiting for a new disc by the same group, which is expected to appear this year. Meantime, I highly recommend this one."
