About this product

The Danzas Caribenas CD contains a selection of the numerous elegant danzas, waltzes, pasillos, danzons, mazurkas and polkas from the Caribbean. The danza is generally considered to be the most exquisite and poetic form of 19thcentury Caribbean art, with the first danza being published in Havana in 1803. Traditionally, the danza consists of two or three sections. The first section can be traced back furthest in history, with it's origins in the English country dance of the 16th century. In 18th century France, country dance became contredanse, from which the cotillon and the quadrille developed. The contredanse was very much en vogue in the French colony of Saint Domingue, as Haiti was then called. After a slave rebellion in 1791, numerous French colonists fled to the Cuban province of Oriente, taking their contredanse with them and sowing it's seeds in the fertile Cuban soil. The enrichment of Hispano-Cuban culture with French colonial music at the end of the 18th century was a critical factor - the spark that induced the birth of the Caribbean danza. Henceforth, the French contredance with it's more northern and restrained character became the introduction part of the danza, while the following parts evocate the emotional exuberance of passionate Latin-Iberian chants and of African rhythms. This CD album includes danzas composed by Ignacio Cervantes from Cuba and the Curacaon composers Jan Gerard Palm, Jules Blasini, Joseph Sickman Corsen and Jacobo Palm.

Marcel Worms - Bach Glass Worms   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Goldberg Variations consist of an Aria followed by thirty variations and the reprise of the Aria at the end. Bach wrote the work for a harpsichord with two manuals, a given with which a pianist-who has only the one keyboard at his disposal-is painfully confronted when two voices cross each other his hands have to fight each other for the available space. Bach composed the variations around 1741, and chose an earlier Aria from the Klavierbüchlein für Anna Magdalena Bach for his theme. The Goldberg Variations were published in 1742. Bach couldn't have guessed that his Goldberg Variations would come to be considered one of the pillars of Western classical music. Yet with hindsight it's easy to understand the composition's undisputed place in the classical music tradition and repertoire. No composer before Bach had ever written so many variations on a single theme, and never so freely and richly filled with fantasy. Structure and feeling, form and content, reason and emotion are all beautifully in balance. Even with the enormous diversity in the variations, the relationship to the theme is always audible. The range and scale of the required keyboard techniques is enormous. A number of these techniques are akin to those of contemporaries, but others point far into the future. The Goldberg Variations form in this way a comprehensive keyboard tutorial, referring for example to the techniques of Domenico Scarlatti, a contemporary, but also leading the way to, among others, Chopin (Var. 26) and Liszt (Var. 29). Metamorphosis, one of Glass's best-known compositions for solo piano, is based on his music from a theatrical setting of Kafka's famous story InchDie VerwandlungInch (InchThe MetamorphosisInch) (1915), in which the protagonist Gregor Samsa wakes one morning to find himself changed into a giant beetle. There is no lack of high-flown interpretations of Glass's work.
