Music reviews of Osvaldo Golijov: Oceana
Music Review: Excelent music from an excelent composer
Rating: 5 Stars
Since a little more than ten years, Osvaldo Golijov has become one of the most renowned composers alive. "Oceana" is a espactacular lyric work for orchestra, chorus and soloists, with text after Nobel Prize Chilean Pablo Neruda. It is beautifully performed by Luciana Souza (who premiered it in 1996), the Gwinnett Young Singers and the Atlanta Symphony and Chorus under Robert Spano. As well "Tenebrae", a dramatic piece of art impeccably performed by the Kronos Quartet, conveys to meditation and inner thought. The program is closed by "Three Songs" for soprano and orchestra, being performed by Dawn Upshaw a. k. a. Golijov's muse, you'll enjoy a lullaby (Close Your Eyes), a lament in Galician (Lua descolorida) and a passionate homage (How Slow the Wind), each one with a particular color and feel. This recording is like a tapestry portrait of the endless talent and possibilities of this young composer.
A final clarification is in order: the notes written by Alan Rich for this recording are shadowed by omission and mistakes, for instance he mentions that "Oceana" was premiered in 1996 in the Oregon Bach Festival but fails to acknowledge that it was performed by the Schola Cantorum de Caracas and conducted by Mar?a Guinand. He also states that Helmuth Rilling conducted the 2000 world premiere of Golijov's "La Pasi?n seg?n San Marcos" in Stuttgart when it was actually also conducted by Guinand and also performed by the Schola Cantorum de Caracas. I hope Mr. Rich and DG make the proper corrections in future printings of this booklet.
