About this product

Alicia Terzian is a world-recognized, award-winning composer, conductor, and musicologist. She is on the faculty of the Fine Arts Academy of Chile and Spain and is the conductor of Grupo Encuentros, the official group of the International Encounters for Contemporary Music Foundation and the only permanent group in Latin America. The pieces leading up to Terzian's masterwork create a nostalgic backdrop to the beginning of the album. The tangos pay homage to the decadence of Old Hollywood and the jazz age, but with a haunting touch added by the ghostly sound effects tucked within Cristal. Terzian's own composition, Buenos Aires, you're going to kill me, is a four-movement work for piano with electroacoustic sounds and poems. Utilizing soloists, textured layering, and electroacoustic sound manipulation, the movements range from adventurous and lighthearted to eerie and dark, capturing the many different sides of a major city's personality. The next piece is Jukka Tienssuu's Tango lunar, an instrumental quintet with an equally rich melody. Malena, too, is remarkable this 1940's tango by Lucio Demare is beautifully sung by Marta Blanco. Roque de Pedro's thick and soulful, yet equally intimate In the bar as a tango was dedicated in 1989 to Grupo Encuentros. Un Argentino de vuelte begins as a delicate fantasy sonata for piano but is interrupted by the entry of the tango ensemble and a scat singer. Their melody becomes something of a ritornello. A solo flute drives the composition into power play against the vibrato of the bandoneon, which eventually wins, breaking down into a solo cadenza. The beautiful piano solo returns followed by an occurence of the ritornello. Next is Los Mareados, a powerful Spanish anthem; followed by Verano Porteño, a trio for violin, cello, and piano. Closing the album is Llamado de Tambores, a work for instrumental sextet and voice, which includes

First official CD reissue of Duke Jupiter's most popular album, digitally remastered by Vic Anesini from the original master tapes. Features the band's signature song InchI'll Drink To YouInch plus bonus track. Rochester rock heroes Duke Jupiter emerged in the late '70s, serving as an opening act for the era's biggest names including ZZ Top, Bob Seger, REO Speedwagon, Toto, Foreigner, Blue Öyster Cult, David Bowie, and many more. Yet the band truly hit it's stride with 1982's Duke Jupiter 1. That year, the band played a free concert in Rochester and 25,000 fans attended, more than 10 times as many as expected.
