5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant avant-garde piece., 29 Jan 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Karl Jenkins: Palladio - Diamond Music (Audio CD)

For anyone who enjoys upbeat and technically demanding classical music. As the title mentions, this is diamond music, as used in the DeBeers diamond commercials. Much in the style of Bartok, only Sony music seems to have been able to actually capture the excitment and vitality on compact disk, whereas recordings of Bartok do not do justice to his music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sexy Neo - Baroque, 6 Jun 2003

Philip Watts (Holmes Chapel, Cheshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Karl Jenkins: Palladio - Diamond Music (Audio CD)

I love the way Karl Jenkins has caught those elements of the Baroque that people so admire - the throbbing rhythms, the bow -on - gut abrasiveness, the spare and rich textures, the minor - key chic, the restraint and the exuberance.

It is one hell of a sexy piece of music.

4.0 out of 5 stars Diamond Music, 7 Mar 2005

Tony B (Kent UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Karl Jenkins: Palladio - Diamond Music (Audio CD)

Like most albums the title track and some others are superb. Trouble is a lot of the tracks use a similar if not idntical musical theme, so it can be difficult to know which track you are listening to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Karl Jenkins Palladio CD
Been meaning to get this CD for the Palladio track in particular. Great price for a CD, case and inserts, all in great condition and speedy delivery given it was Xmas holidays.
