CD Reviews

Villa-Lobos meets "Switched-On Bach"

Kevin Gillette | Dallas, Texas USA | 10/06/1999

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Gismonti continues to re-define his niche in modern musical circles with this effort. I'm not personally in favor of re-casting classical compositions into (nearly) fully electronic form, but Villa-Lobos is perhaps unique in that his music works well in this format. And who but his protege (figuratively, if not literally), Egberto Gismonti, could carry it off better?Fans of Gismonti's latest work, "The Meeting Point," with its extensive orchestration, will probably enjoy this album. Those of us who are fonder of his more acoustic works, e.g., "Danca Dos Escravos," find it a little harder to get into, but a few listenings will convince even the most sceptical of fans that this album deserves a prominent place in the Gismonti oeuvre.It left me with one lingering question: How many other Brazilian-made Gismonti albums wait out there to find their way to the U.S.? Can Egberto himself answer this question? And why was this one not produced under the aegis of ECM?Enquiring minds want to know. Enquiring ears will check this album out!"

An incredible musical experience

"Egberto Gismonti's interpretation of composer Heitor Villa-Lobos' classical music is one of his best efforts and a good place to introduce yourself to this Brazilian master. It took me a few years to find it but well worth the wait (it is a lot easier now with amazon.com!). This album rates up there with Argentinian Astor Piazzola's Tango Hora Cero (Tango Zero Hour) for must-have South American music."
