NON DIVISI - Roberto Valera, Camerata Romeu and Marcos Madrigal
Import CD (Colibri 071), Released 2008;
The Camerata Romeu, a string orchestra from Cuba, performing achingly beautiful modern classical music written by Roberto Valera, a Cuban composer. And beautiful it is, romantically dense, at times Russian sounding — Shostakovich comes to mind — at times it sounds like the soundtrack music it could be. There’s a six-part suite, Suite Caribeña, where the orchestra’s joined by a pianist Marcos Madrigal; it hints at and explicates the raw material from which the present is made in the Cuban Caribbean.
Highly Recommended. (Peter Watrous, 2008-07-23)
