MDG 910 1650-6

Classica Cubana and Classica Argentina were the first the beginning. Now we can give the flutist and world musician Anette Maiburg on a voyage of discovery to Venezuela. Again there are three local musicians, who accompany their journey: the Guitarist Nirse González, singer Fabiola José and the Cuatro specialist Jesús González Brito - in they have long since become stars.

In the big cities on the Caribbean coast since the 19th century waltz. The sophisticated Viennese ballroom dancing have at that time Venezuelans travelling in Europe take home with them brought. Meanwhile the dance has been transformed by elements of of the Joropo and the use of the four-stringed, to an Ukulele reminiscent Cuatro a typical South American Note received. The composer Antonio Lauro has written so many Joropo waltzes that he is considered "Johann Strauss of Venezuela.

The infamous 5/8 beat of the Merengue is allowed at a Recording with Venezuelan music. This dance with a strong hip emphasis came in o being in the 19th century on. This music gets right under your skin, the program is very finely balanced, besides the the virtuoso between jazz and classical registers the iridescent voice of Fabiola José that have literally been unheard of here so far Solo works for guitar and flute especially..

Very closely linked to Venezuelan culture is also the suite recorded here with five Pieces for guitar solo. Composer Vicente Sojo leaves the most different music forms typical for the country in his work. Contemporary Compositions of Frederico Ruiz and Hector Molina round the recording. This is not a package tour, but a highly individual, absolutely successful Music journey, which is a side trip (all flutists and Guitarists!) in an excellent way some new repertoire.
