4.0 out of 5 stars Cuba Meets Copland, 11 May 2007
By Ashfield Records "Stephen Cooke" (Rheindahlen, Germany) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Spanish composer Julian Orbon spent twenty years of his life ( from 1940 to 1960)in Cuba and it shows. Latin American rhythms pervade two of the three works on this disc ( Three Symphonic Versions and Symphonic Dances) and influences of Copland, with whom the composer studied , are also pronounced, particularly in the Symphonic Dances. The 15 minute time-span of the latter will set your foot tapping with the rhythmic virtuosity of the piece and the daring orchestration will leave you breathless.

Similarly, the Three Symphonic Versions of 1954 show Latin American influence , even though the first two movements ,Pavana and Organum are based on themes from early music compositions. The final movement, Xilofono shows off the virtuosity of , as one may have guessed, the xylophone in a Congolese style short finale.

In contrast, the Concerto Grosso for string quartet and orchestra is more subdued , yet intensely emotional. Written shortly after Orbon left Cuba in 1960 , at odds with the direction that the Cuban Revolution had taken, the Latin American influence is less noticeable and , if there is a cultural aspect to the work, the pervading country is Spain. The slow movement , in particular, is intensely moving and reminiscent of a Shostakovitch string quartet. For me, this is the finest work on the CD and one to which I return frequently.

The playing of the Asturias Symphony Orchestra under Maximiano Valdes is idiomatic and uniformly excellent. The percussion section, in particular, is outstanding. The recording , too, is one of Naxos` finest and at the bargain price of £4.99 or less, the CD should be snapped up by anyone willing to sample the delights on offer.
