Carolina Calvache - Sotareno - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Pianist, composer and arranger Carolina Calvache on her new album InchVida Profunda is an ode to poetry and to life. The chosen poems and my original lyrics are the best vehicles for me to open my heart to the world because they relate to events that happened in my life or to people close to me. The title song comes from the poem Canción de la Vida Profunda (Song of the Profound Life) by Colombian writer Porfirio Barba Jacob. The second title InchEl Pájaro YoInch (The Me Bird) has the same name as the original poem by Chilean writer Pablo Neruda. The text of the song InchHopeInch is extracted from the poem InchLift every voice and singInch by African-American poet James Weldon Johnson. The song InchChildhood RetreatInch is based on the poem with the same name written by American poet Robert Duncan. InchEl RastroInch is extracted from the short story InchEl Rastro de tu sangre en la nieveInch (The trail of your blood in the snow) by Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Márquez. The song InchLet Me Come With YouInch is extracted by the poem InchMoonlight SonataInch by Greek poet Yiannis Ritsos. The original songs InchNo te vi crecerInch, InchTe conocí de nuevoInch, InchStellaInch, InchSin un DespidoInch, are some of my stories and my first attempt to write lyrics.Inch // The album features the voices of Ruben Blades, Claudia Acuña, Sara Serpa, Marta Gomez, Aubrey Johnson, Haydee Milanes, Sara Serpa, Lara Bello, Luba Mason, Sofia Ribeiro.

A delightful program of French and Spanish song explores the theme of love found, enjoyed and lost, from the subtlety of Faure to the fiery passion of Turina, Obrador's and de Falla. The gentle charm of Hahn and impassioned fervor of Massenet's Manon are equally captured by American soprano Ailyn Perez, who has bewitched audiences on both sides of the Atlantic in opera and song.

Vocalist Carolyn Graye and the great pianist Jessica Williams team up for a fantastic duo recording on InchSongs.Inch Featuring 10 tracks of jazz standards, this recording is a must for piano and vocal enthusiasts.
