3.0 out of 5 stars A Bit of Rough 7 Sep 2010
By Mr. A. R. Boyes TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
This disc represents a none too well covered part of the classical repertoire. There is much to interest new listeners here, particularly the best known work "Sensemaya" and "Night of the Mayas". At this price it seems like a bargain introduction to these works. In truth the filler works are from incomplete sketches and even "Night of the Mayas" had to be compiled after his death from his music for the film.

Both these two main works are rhythmically explosive with more than a hint of Varese crossed with Stravinsky at times. There are some folksy dance elements and more calm and lyrical passages but the "Night of Enchantment" finale of "Night of the Mayas" with massed percussion and brass interjections blows that away. The scoring is frequently harsh, declamatory and elemental throughout. Here the brass section sound rather strained but the battery of percussion is right on the money.

Even so, in spite of Revueltas' music being less than standard repertoire, there are several recordings of "Sensemaya" and "Night of the Mayas". Some of these at least come with better ensembles, more urgent performance and better sound recording. Chief among these are Gustavo Dudamel's coupling of "Night of the Mayas" with "The Rite of Spring", and couplings of both "Sensemaya" with the "Night of the Mayas" by Esa-Pekka Salonen and Eduardo de Mata.

At its best this is gripping stuff, just be careful not to annoy your neighbours!If you can pick up any of these alternatives at a bargain price they would be preferable to this honest but unrefined recording. Even so, it is a useful introduction to his music at this price and the elemental force of this music isn't lost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinante! 20 Sep 2003
By Martn Alberto Baigorria Castillo - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Este CD reúne dos de las tres obras mayores de Revueltas: Sensemayá y La noche de los Mayas (solo falta la obra maestra absoluta del compositor: Homenaje a Federico García Lorca). Como feliz complemento, el ballet La coronela, que Revueltas dejó inconcluso a su muerte en 1940. Las realizaciones son de primer nivel. La Orquesta Sinfónica de Aguascalientes y su director, Enrique Barrios, sobresalen en La noche de los Mayas y en La Coronela, y ofrecen una versión del clásico Sensemayá que no desmerece frente a las mejores referencias: Bernstein (SONY), Mata (RCA), Salonen (SONY), en orden de preferencia personal, todas disponibles en Amazon. La grabación es impecable. Muy recomendable

5.0 out of 5 stars Evoking The Mayans 12 Dec 2008
By Johanna Hitt - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Many Mayan art reproductions hang on the walls of our Mexican home or stand on canterra pedestals. This music, played by the Agua Calientes Orchestre, one of Mexico's best, wafts like sea mist around the figures in a rhythm that seems, mysteriously, to bring them to life.
