CD Reviews

The miniaturist composer per excellence!

Hiram Gomez Pardo | Valencia, Venezuela | 05/25/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"
The relatively limited importance of this composer in the musical stages resides possibly in the lack of a fashionable period that illuminated the imagination inside you might consider the illusion of progress. Somehow he was born and lived out of the fashionable musical movements, being beloved and admired by a true elite around the world.

The radiant ingenuity, the lack of deep expression and excess of lightness are not enough motives of disdain and disesteem. Albert Ketelby was a miniaturist composer, a term far to offensive, because if the fact there have been countless artists deservers of this condition in its different manifestations.
