Gershwin, Bernstein, Barber, Korngold, Copland, Adams, Glass, Reich, Porter, Kern, Joplin, Ellington: American Classics (6 CDs)

folderIM-PER-Dí-VEL !!!

Seis CDs maravilhosos que dão um excelente panorama da música erudita norte-americana. A influência do jazz é enorme, a presença negra é absoluta. Depois, ao menos cronologicamente, ela é substituída pelo minimalismo, o que denota a presença da cultura mais acadêmica. E o papel de Lenny Bernstein é fundamental. Ele faz jazz (ouçam Prelude, Fugue And Riffs), cria temas que caberiam em musicais e faz música erudita mais tradicional, com um pé na Europa. Gênio total. E o que dizer de George Gershwin? Cada aparição sua no CD é um facho de luz. Dá felicidade ouvir suas obras.

Destaque também para nossos contemporâneos John Adams e Steve Reich, assim como para a presença da sofisticação de Duke Ellington (jazz) e Cole Porter (canções) e da música luminosa de Scott Joplin (rags).

Korngold, Barber e Copland são bons compositores, mas para mim foi foda aguentar a música de Kern. É muito dentro do estilo dos musicais, o que me provocou certa náusea.

O CD é catadão de coisas lançadas previamente em formato separado, mas a seleção é de primeira e vocês podem ouvir sem receio porque no geral é muito bom!
