Classical guitar lovers looking for a jazzier change of pace shouldn't be disappointed by Nylon & Steel, Manuel Barrueco's album of duets with Al Di Meola, Steve Morse, and Andy Summers. But ironically enough, it's the two solo tunes that bookend this disc, Barrueco's "Odeon" and his solo guitar arrangement of Aaron Copland's "Rodeo," that are the real highlights. His three cuts with Di Meola are a mixed affair, but the interplay between the duo seems to gel on the longer "Azzurra." Steve Morse's electric guitar is loaded with Bill Frisell-like effects, but on "Wolvesville," he and Barrueco create an inspired and unleashed fusion between rock and classical music (the inspiration for the piece is a Villa-Lobos étude). Three mellow collaborations with Summers round out this set of intriguing guitar instrumentals. --Jason Verlinde

An Oasis of quality music........2005-04-14

The tracks on this recording vary from exuberant latin-american jazz - like 'Beyond The Mirage'- to more introspective music like 'The Grand Passion'. 'Northern Lights'is very sensitive as well, it makes you a little bit melancholic. Between all the noisy dance-music we have nowadays, 'Nylon & Steel'is an oasis of quality and high standard.(Though there is no classical music played on this cd - apart from Villa-Lobos - don't let that spoil the fun). Something about this music reminds me of the piano-music of Brad Mehldau: it sounds familiar and at the same time it's something new.

Wonderful CD.......2003-06-04

I didn't think I would like this CD. However, after the first listen, I had to admit this is a fantastic CD!

cool classical/rock/jazz fusion.......2001-10-29

This is a very interesting combination of the classical and rock/jazz worlds of guitar playing. All four guitarists have amazing chops and they're all quite tasteful on this recording. If you're a fan of Barrueco, DiMeola, Morse, or Summers, check out this CD. I had heard Barrueco and Summers before, and knew of DiMeola and Morse by reputation, so I had an idea of what to expect...but "Nylon & Steel" surpassed those expectations. Very cool, indeed.

A Disaster.......2001-09-08

Except for the two Barrueco solos, this CD made me nauseous!!!Listening to it reminded me why I stopped listening to most improvised music.

Throughout tracks 2 to 4, DiMeola struggles futilely to come up with anything but comical latin cliches. DiMeola's mindless noodling is an affront to Barrueco's musicality. Summers playing on the other hand, while somewhat musical, is mostly syrup.

Villa-Lobos' Etude 1 duet hurt the most. I have played this piece for years and, though an etude, I find it quite entertaining (as do most classical guitarists I think). During most of the piece, Morse simply plays scale-exercise filler and obliterates all the musical ideas in the piece. Listen, Villa-Lobos was one of the most original and masterful composers of this century. It is criminal to think that playing this electronic fluff over Villa-Lobos' etude does it justice.

A word to the uninitiated - buy Sergio and Odair Assad's "Latin Music for Two Guitars" and learn something about the depth and beauty of serious latin guitar music.

Album Description

Scoop is the new contemporary comedy from writer/director Woody Allen who stars in the film with Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johansson and Ian McShane. Scoop is the second consecutive picture that the filmmaker has set and shot in London (following Match Point). The soundtrack for Scoop includes several classical tracks hand-picked by Woody Allen.

Woody Allen reports that he chose the music based on "his instincts about what would work in the film."Capturing the playful spirit of the film, the soundtrack's lush orchestrations and quick tempo complement the mysterious motif of the story. The soundtrack consists almost entirely of beautiful classical music by Tchaikovsky, Grieg and Johann Strauss -- a unique assemblage for any soundtrack, especially one from a movie not entirely about classical music itself. These timeless melodies from The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, and Peer Gynt will be recognized with pleasure by every listener.

Scoop tells the story of Sondra Pransky (Scarlett Johansson), a student journalist for a college paper visiting friends in London who happens upon the scoop of a lifetime. Along the investigative trail, she finds magic, murder, mystery -- and perhaps love, with British aristocrat Peter Lyman (Hugh Jackman).

Review by William Cuddy - age 9.......2006-12-19

Scoop
Scoop has comedy in almost every corner, a plot that seems elaborate but is simple for its viewers. I understand why all who watch it seem to get the giggles. It's an amazing film, but then again most of Woody Allen's films are funny and clever. Scoop mixes the suspense of his earlier movie, Match Point, with the current comedy of Scoop. The reality beats that of Casino Royale by far. Scoop's one-liners and physical comedy make it one of his funnier films. Some reviewers of his previous film, Match Point (such as Stylus Magazine), have given Scoop a bad review because they think it is too similar. This is not true, as Scoop follows quite a different story - for example, the appearance of Ghosts. It inflicts no damage on Allen's career. Now, onto the movie itself.

We start off with the death of the celebrity journalist, Joe Strombel, a reporter who is the foundation of the movie, and is the main cause of its beginning and end. We cut to a scene of Joe Strombel, and a group of people on a mangy boat. When we cut to the boat piloted by Death, it seems Strombel has been there almost an hour, and he has met a secretary. This secretary hands the scoop to Joe Strombel, and Strombel jumps off the boat to return to earth as a ghost. Earlier, Sondra Pransky, a journalist in training, had made off with a Film Director, and had now gone to see a Magician called Splendido (Sid in cast, and Woody Allen in life). She is picked to be put in a disappearing box (the kind that makes you disappear), and through that, she meets the deceased Strombel. Strombel tells her he had a giant scoop on his hands, saying that the mysterious Tarot card killer was Peter Limen, Lord Limen's son. But then Strombel mysteriously disappears, and when Sid, (Splendido) opens the box, Sondra had also disappeared; I believe this was a by-product of Strombel's disappearance. Sondra Pransky then drags Sid out to look at Peter Limen, the person who was supposed by Strombel to be the killer. She pretends to drown, and by then has, at that moment, won over his heart. I shall not spoil any more of the movie, for the sake of the pre-viewers. I give the film of which I have reviewed a great big comedic 9/10. I say, a Jolly Good film.

Another Comedic Masterpiece - Thank You Woodie Allen!.......2006-12-12

Scoop is a refreshing return to the Woody Allen of yesteryear, going back to classics like The Sleeper, Take The Money and Run, and Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex, But Were Afraid To Ask. It is an intelligent, witty, compelling comedy full of personal crises, angst, and a dash of nihilism. It's slapstick, not high art. That is not a complaint, just a clarification.
By now, most of us who have seen more than one Woody Allen movie, are familiar with his usual themes: Jungian symbolism, human frailty, love, and above all else, life's rich pageant of absurdity. I could see how to some, this could be an old, tired formula, but I don't agree at all. In the hands of the genius who created it, it is still fresh, interesting, and relevant. With a brilliant cast starring Woody Allen, the smart and sexy Scarlet Johansen and the suave, debonair and deranged, Hugh Jackman, this movie is a winning formula.
Just as Bob Dylan's music has returned to the simplicity of its origins, so has Woody Allen come full circle. Like Dylan, this is not to lean on something tried and true, but to come back and perfect it. This movie is highly entertaining and extremely funny. So, stick some popcorn in the microwave and prepare to be thoroughly entertained.

The Scoop On This Soundtrack.......2006-07-29

This soundtrack is mostly just classical music, and I mean "Classical" music. Having Swan Lake Ballet Suites, this soundtrack is easy to relax to. Having in some tracks, strings and harp, this soundtrack is just classical music. There's nothing really special about this soundtrack, but if you're a big fan of classical music, then this is the soundtrack for you! Gives you a warm feeling as you listen to this.

Highly recommended.......2004-09-12

If you like Nazareth--and I do--you are almost certain to love this wonderful collection of the Brazilian master's most enjoyable piano pieces. Marco Antonio de Almeida is a Brazilian, and he has a real feel for the music of his fellow countryman. Beyond that, however, he is a wonderful pianist, with a sure technique and supple expressive powers. He never plays for show, but always serves the needs of the music. I agree with a previous reviewer's comment that Nazareth's music is not exactly ragtime. It is, however, a captivating kind of music, popular in spirit yet classical in its intrinsic quality. It is comparable in many ways to the really great piano compositions of the ragtime master Scott Joplin. I have played this collection over and over again, and expect that I will continue to do so for a long time.

Maravilhoso, Marco!.......2003-01-29

I object to the title, "Brazilian ragtime." This is not ragtime. It is... well... Nazareth, and it is unique. Nazareth had many of the same influences as Joplin, but he was also influenced by Brazil. I think Nazareth was more playful than Joplin, yet also just as serious.
Almeida's performances express Brazilian character better than any others of Nazareth I have heard. Nazareth's playfulness is expressed in the tangos and his sentimentality is expressed in the waltzes. "Odeon" is brilliant. The pieces meant to sound like a cavaquinho (approximately a ukele) "Apanhei-te Cavaquinho" & "Ameno Rededa'" sound like a cavaquinho. "Fon-Fon!" gives me saudade of traffic in Rio de Janeiro.
Most importantly, Almeida's clean & precise performances articulate the complexities of the music and bring out the serious European influences. The performer of Nazareth must be both a pianista and a pianeiro.
Marco Antonio de Almeida does it well.

A Delight.......2002-07-20

I discovered Ernesto Nazareth by accident. His music is stunning--charming, playful, soulful, by turns. The only way to describe it is as a combination of European classical, Brazilian and South American dance, and American ragtime. Really superb music, seldom heard. Nazareth apparently wrote thousands of these miniature pieces. There are very few recordings in print. Thanks to Marco Antonio de Almeida and Klavier Records for giving us this CD.

Uruguayan pianist Polly Ferman has made a specialty of the piano music of South America. Her previous CDs of music by Ernesto Nazareth and Ernesto Lecuona were thoroughly delightful. Now she offers a wide-ranging program of mostly brief, dance-based piano music in forms from South America, although written by composers from many countries. You have to follow the track listing inside the booklet (the listing on the tray card is virtually illegible) to find out whether the delightful piece you are hearing was written by Gottschalk, Chabrier, Stravinsky, Weill, or Ginastera. But whatever the music, it's all entertaining and sometimes (as with Piazzolla) considerably more than that. Ferman's playing encompasses all these styles convincingly, and the recording conveys the piano sound with considerable realism. Romeo needs to clean up its presentation; aside from the badly-designed tray card, the pianist's biography comes right in the middle of the program notes on the music. But for its contents, this is the most entertaining piano collection since Gloria Cheng's Piano Dance and it's highly recommended. --Leslie Gerber

From Africa to Cuba and from Cuba to Argentina.......2006-03-16

I don't mean to be over zealous with my Cuban/Spanish Moorish heritage, and I agree with my Argentinean counterpart soldiers who are here in Eastern Europe with me serving as peace keepers with NATO, that certain things have to be clear and made public, so that people can be educated. This is the purpose of this review. This CD is an excellent recording of the different styles of Habaneras, Milongas and Tangos, they all are related. The roots are from Africa/Cuba brought to Argentina by Cuban sailors. The great German writer Rodolfo A. Windhausen states in one of his research report on the roots of the Tangos the following: "I learned about the Cuban roots of Tango. The Habanera rhythm was brought to Argentina by Cuban sailors in the nineteenth century. In fact, there is still one Milonga in Havana, once a week, for a small Tango community". If you want to hear Habaneras check the CD " Habaneras By Maria Teresa Vera" and Habaneras by Marco Rizo on both of these CD's you will hear the roots of Tangos played by one of the most respected Cuban guitar player(Maria Teresa Vera) of all times. I first heard of the Habaneras when I was young. My father would play them on his guitar while my mother would join him in singing the songs. My favorite was "twenty years" which is a classic! This is a good starting point for those who enjoy the Tangos, Milongas and the Habaneras interpreted here by this great pianist from Uruguay. Che, buy it, you will not regret it! It's part of your rich Argentinean culture.

Habaneras, Milongas, Tangos.......2001-11-04

This is delightful! The pianist is superb in her interpretation of the pieces. The music takes you away to another world.

On David Burgess............2005-02-20

I bought this CD directly from the artist himself after hearing him perform several of the pieces live. David Burgess is guitarist of extraordinary talent and broad interest. This CD contains beautiful pieces from both South America and Spain that are intricately performed with great depth of emotion. I would recommend this disc for any true music lover.

Waiting for Another Great CD.......2003-05-20

Wherever you are, David Burgess, don't get exhaust yourself concertizing. Get back in the studio and record another excellent CD! Your talent is much too good to let slip away in the ephemeral wind; crystallize it on CD for everyone to hear long after your fine concerts are memories. Yeah, I guess I'm begging you to lay down more brilliant recordings. It can be Latin American, Spanish, Brazilian--anything. Just do it! ...

great variety, a true virtuoso.......2002-01-29

David Burgess is one of those artists that is a total gem to find. He doesn't have a "big name" or a huge recording contract, but when it comes down to what matters (namely playing well) he can totally deliver the goods. Not only is he technically amazing (I've seen him in concert and he honestly didn't hit a single bad note), he plays with an incredible amount of soul. You can tell both on record and live, that he breathes this music and that it truly means the world to him.

Not only is the album a varied (yet consistent and thematic) but he employs a wide range of techniques to achieve his amazing sound: "Samba do Aviao" is breathtaking in terms of speed and beauty, the rhytmic oddities and brilliant use of percussive effects in "Berimbau" is unreal, "La Catedral" is sublime and almost played at a whisper, yet he breathes new life into familiar favorites like Isaac Albeniz's "Leyenda." This is one of the most creative albums of any genre that I've heard, but it is by far the best guitar album I own (and one of the best I've ever heard.) Another thing that makes this album so great is how rare some of this material is, some of these are complete gems and not at all in the standard repertoire.

And if you have the chance...GO SEE HIM IN CONCERT...its even better than the superb album.

Silver (and Gold) Nuggets.......2001-11-20

I bought this CD at one of Burgess' concerts (in Virginia). He plays with much strength, variety of technique, and tonal quality; moreover, he has excellent command of the rhythm required for this mainly Latin American collection. My favorites are the hypnotically delightful "Seis por Derecho" and "La Misionera," which has a driving and catchy rhythm. I find almost every other piece enjoyable except for the over-recorded "Leyenda" and the somewhat ponderous piece by Rodrigo (whom I'm still a big fan of, nonetheless). It would be nice if those two were replaced by a few of the other interesting Brazilian pieces I heard at the concert. Fortunately, I was told that Burgess might put out more Brazilian recordings later in 2002. I'm very much looking forward to hearing them.

Octavio Pinto.......2007-07-17

Excellent two piano recording. The Turgeon's play well together. I bought the recording for the Octavio Pinto, Scenas Infantis, because I played it in college and never heard it performed. This recording introduced me to other two piano pieces. The composers on this recording were classically trained, so you can hear their European approach. Good information about the composers. Four of the Mignone pieces according to the insert, were sent to the performers, by his widow and former duo partner. Only the Lundu is published. Each piece is different and you can hear the differences. I'm not disappointed with this recording.

Not a single ordinary note! Exquisite music from down under.......2002-08-17

Yes, there is hardly an ordinary note on this entire CD, which highlights piano miniatures of seven Latin American composers. Unfortunately, many Latin American composers do not receive their due in the U.S.: their music is often criticized for incorporating too many folk elements, and therefore is not taken seriously as recital fare. While all these pieces are rather short (the longest is under 8 minutes), these are moving and stylish perfromances which eloquently portray the beautiful Latin American heritage and have intellectual appeal.

The three works here by Villa-Lobos are pensive and dreamy; Mignone's two 'Valsas de esquina' draw upon the European waltz tradition breathing spanish spirit into this most trite of genres. The two pieces by Nazareth are playful and just might make you bob your head or swing a bit to the rhythm. More contemporary sounds are delivered in the music of Ginastera, who is regarded as Argentina's most accomplished composer. Eduardo Caba makes gestures from Latin American Indian heritage with various modal and pentatonic passages.

And on down the list... the selections of music are wonderfully chosen and well played by pianist Irma Ametrano. Whether you've heard of these guys or not (I had only heard of two of the seven composers before I found this CD), their music will be sure to win your heart.

While these composers draw upon the tradition of Western European music (you will certainly hear echoes of Chopin, Liszt, and maybe others in the piano writing), they are true to the rhythms, melodies, and harmonies of their own culture. I wish this were a double CD set: the program notes state that these composers have written a lot more piano music than what is presented here.

This album will provide many hours of fulfilling listening enjoyment.

Amazing music many classical pianists don't know about.......2005-07-21

In 2005, if you haven't heard of composers like Nobre, Guarnieri, Nepomuceno, or Levy, you are missing out on some of the greatest 20th century piano music ever composed. Much of the music on this album, not commonly known to those of us who know our Schumann, Chopin, Bach, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, and so forth, is comparable in quality to that of Schumann. What if there were suddenly discovered twenty or thirty pieces of the highest quality of piano music that Schumann had composed but no one had known about? This album is like that for me. The styles of these Latin American composers run the gamut from late Romantic or what is sometimes called "Impressionist" to challenging Bartok-like Ginastera-esque gems, with a few charming salon pieces to give variety to the mix.

Clelia Iruzun is a ferocious, amazing pianist, with fire like Argerich and tonal subtlety like Horowitz.

If you like classical piano music and great piano playing, you must hear this album. I don't know why there aren't more reviews of it, or why there are no sample clips posted (I am writing this in July 2005, so maybe they'll see the light and post some in the future).
