Milena Velba Free Picures

take these Easter holidays to stay at home listening to music with more attention than usual, ie, chewing each note, read notes of discs and hardware still claim even if the iPod help. My generation still treasuring (not heaping) books, records, cassette tapes, videos ... perhaps because we need lots of physical contact but the space is getting smaller and our wives 'sufferer' put the fuss with each new acquisition.
In my extensive "cedeteca" begin to elaborate many recordings purchased from the performers in their own concerts but also gifts from the artists themselves, many friends you always learn and with whom I share the joy of these "sons sound, not in vain each album is like a new child to see the light and leave a legacy for the enjoyment of all who come after.
Today I start with the pairing of M ª Teresa Pérez Hernández and Francisco Jaime Pantín , large and laureates concert together and solo , but even better people, Mayte and Paco to its close, whose destinies canary - Asturian had to unite music, and they have also instilled this passion also own, not as teachers of piano in the Conservatory of Oviedo (often key department!) to an extensive list of students who are succeeding in different fields, but also "at home" (his son Daniel is the best test but opted for the violin), which is not always the case.

For issues that do not come to mind, won a grant Canary Islands Government to commit to record Seal the Transit Record "part of the Works for Piano Four Hands of Franz Schubert , keep forever their interpretations unrepeatable as" Duo Wanderer , and besides, once I learned the process, recorded at home, where Steinway piano (Paco is an expert in The Piano Rolls of him and we choice we have in the Auditorium of Oviedo among other ) recovering the authentic environment for which they were created many scores and the line that many music producers want for their new products: a taste for craft, to feel comfortable making music, because current technology allows these wonders away from the always cool studies or concert halls. Marina Cosme
devoted an excellent article in LNE the album, entitled "A quiet rumor" , which perfectly reflects what treasures: " up a thrilling musical discourse that goes straight to the bowels of the romantic piano, or what is, to the fullness of the instrument. The interpretation of the duo is fascinating in its stylistic care, the price to that are present in more lyrical passages, and the ability to transmit the passion for music of ravishing beauty and perhaps because of that, with the melancholy dregs of a long lost and almost forgotten. The depth of expression of each version rounds this disc near where the good music sends itself a great show without letting the music flow with the exquisite nobility " . The works have been chosen Variations on a Theme Original D. 813, the Fantasy in F D. 940 m. the Allegro in La m. D. 947 "Lebensstürme" and Rondo in the m., D. 951.

But for those of my generation, if the sound is astonishing, discovering sounds really unique four-hands, close, able to perceive each and every one of the melodies that weave (Paco on bass , Mayte in the treble), the writing that accompanies the CD is as one would expect, a real class Professor Pantin entitled "The Piano Four Hands in the music of Franz Schubert " , required reading, written by a professional with ideas always clear to all students music and audition perfect complement to these carefully selected works.
I culled some of the phrases and no analysis of the four works selected for the comments but they are very indicative of the recording: how to prepare authentic listening writes: "The relationship of intimacy, cohesion and complicity that exists between two pianists who share the same keyboard is the nearest direct and intimate chamber music throughout the universe " . Not be conceived from a technology that recorded every one separately and then mixed (although all are in the pharmacy label.) It is best when says "is the only formation in which even physical contact is inevitable and perhaps needs a complicity that exists between performers beyond the musical" , real answer to my question about the unit having all works in terms of interpretation (the D 947 Allegro really wasted heat and passion), complicity beyond the music but with music as the beginning and end ( Rondo D 951 can only reach the serenity, elegance and lyricism from life, a common profession of marriage Wanderer ). There fraternal duos like the Labeque sisters who can corroborate that link necessary to address this Schubert, even as father and son Artur and Karl Ulrich Schnabel or Emil and Elena Gilels , his daughter.

Good music has always been partners, and "unmarried partners" many, if not some amazing mythical as Jacqueline Du Pré and Daniel Barenboim , where personal relationships transcend their interpretations, as indeed is logical. The "chemistry" is always necessary, and when there are lots of art and "posed" two top performers dialogue monologue is gratifyingly unifying ( Nelson Freire and Martha Argerich ). In chamber music even more, precisely because of its proximity, reminding Pantín that "the act of playing with four hands meant a mode of exchange, a metaphor of" amicitia " a true symbol of fraternal union in the same universe Affective . The Fantasy D 940 is itself throughout the universe, unique work and "new reference to the road as a metaphor for life" . In the case of "Duo Wanderer all recorded here is The Life of Schubert breathing real love, and the disc is full of it.

Mayte and Paco Thanks for sharing.
