Music reviews of Mozart Meets Cuba

Music Review: Another Effusive Melding of Cuban and Classical with the Focus Specifically on Mozart
Rating: 4 Stars

As a follow up to their accomplished fusion effort last year, "Classic Meets Cuba", the Klazz Brothers and Cuba Percussion have collaborated again for much of the same, only this time focusing specifically on the works of Mozart. If the results are not quite as exhilarating as the first effort, it may be that the novelty feels somewhat worn this time despite the often virtuoso playing displayed here. Recalling some of Vince Guaraldi's work in the 1960's, the jazzy arrangements are once again supplemented with the beat-heavy Cuban rhythms churned out by Alexis Herrera Estevez on timbales and Elio Rodriguez Luis on congas. What continues to impress on this recording is how well the two sides of the ensemble - Estevez and Rodriguez on one and on the other, pianist Tobias Forster, bassist Killian Forster and drummer Tim Hahn - mesh so well in making all the disparate musical elements balance without contrivance.

Many of Mozart's most renowned pieces are here in reconfigured form. The warhorse Piano Sonata K. 545 ("Sonata Facile") turns into a sunny Caribbean number, "Calypso Facile", while the staccato-tempo Turkish March evolves into the propulsive "Cuban March". More creatively, the familiar Piano Concerto No. 21, K. 467 turns into an African-accented bolero named appropriately "Afrolero" complete with a faraway-sounding whistle, while Eine Kleine Nachtmusik K. 525 becomes a percolating dance number, "Bomba de la Noche". Even more audaciously, they turn the overture to "Don Giovanni" into a slow, evocative bolero number, "Don Muerte", and the familiar aria, "La Ci Darem La Mano" into a lovely piano-dominated ballad, "Reich Mir Die Hand (Your Hand in Mine)". Somewhat less successful are the two selections derived from "The Magic Flute" - "Yo Siento Mucho", a cha-cha version of "Ach, Ich Fuhl's" and Forster's extended piano riffs based on the potpourri passage, "Salzburger Schafferl". Latin pop artist Lou Bega lends his saucy vocals to "Son de Mozart", a clubby reinvention of Fantasia in C Minor, K. 475. This is fun listening for fans of Latin-classical fusion.
