Music reviews of Gypsy
Music Review: Meh !
Rating: 3 Stars
There's no disputing that Ms. St. John is a superb technician on her instrument, but the playing here is too stylized -- far too much portamento for my taste.
It's as if she thought the recipe called for a bulb of garlic instead of a clove.
Description of Gypsy
Lara St. John often displays her anatomy on her CD covers, but she has more to offer than that. In this entertaining collection, she plays freely and on a very large scale, just what gypsy music requires. It may not take much intellect to play Waxman's Carmen Fantasy (I like Sarasate's better, anyway). But it does take intellect, and lots more, to play Bart?k's Second Rhapsody as convincingly as she does here, with the very assertive collaboration of Ilan Rechtman. St. John doesn't make the difficulties of Ravel and Sarasate sound easy, but both musicians play with such flair it doesn't matter. Rechtman's gypsy arrangements are goofy and enjoyable. Wide-range sound. --Leslie GerberGeneral CDs
