Vivaldi's original has never been one of my favourite musical suites, though that's not to say it is good or bad, I think I just got to hear it too much and familiarity breeds contempt, so we say. So, even if this is an electronic butchering, I wouldn't mind. What sells it for me is that it is electronic, that's my proverbial bag, so to speak. Comparatively, I instantly think of Isao Tomita and his various reworkings of classical pieces, Holst's 'Planets', which I loved as a child (in it's original form and electronic reconstruction), his fantastic rendering of Ravel's 'Bolero' (again, in both forms), another childhood favourite, amongst many others.
Anyway, that's enough small talk. L'Autunno is OK, dare I say a bit drab but perhaps in some senses well captured. Like I've said, I'm not a fan of the original. La Primavera sounds like a pipe organ in a fairground, to be fair and then scatters into a minimalist interpretation. Then ebbs and flows betwixt the two. Kind of spaced out, like Tomita's 'Bermuda Triangle', but without the exactitude. I quite like L'Inverno, more precise and listenable in its own right. Similarly, again with L'Estate, perhaps it is down to better production. I cannot quibble over such electronic technicalities, nor to be honest, a just comparison with the original. On the face of it, it is a reasonable piece of electronica, which is how I will score it, regardless of its correlation to the original.
Todo el trabajo (Los cuatro discos son uno solo) es estupendo. El contenido muy bien logrado.Los sonidos, la orquestación y la música de Vivaldi no daban para menos. Felicitaciones. Definitivamente es música para sentarse comodamente, cerrar los ojos, escuchar y dejarse transportar al mas allá tal vez.
Gracias

Transcrire une oeuvre classique en moderne est un exercice périlleux, voire casse gueule.Un groupe comme Ekseption s'était tenté à l'expérience avec plus ou moins de bonheur.Ici il s'agit des quatre saisons de Vivaldi et franchement, c'est complétement raté.A aucun moment je n'y reconnais l'œuvre originale avec sa fraîcheur, sa spontanéité et son expressionnisme.Et cet album m'évoque plutôt Walter( devenu Wendy depuis, bonjour madame)Carlos et les massacres qu'il a pu effectuer sur l'œuvre de Jean Sébastien Bach.Médiocre et inutile !
Me recuerda mucho al "Snowflackes are dancing" de Isao Tomita.
El sonido de los sintetizadores que llevan la melodia me recuerda a aquellos sonidos de los años 80 y tiene algo de infantil y de tierno en su interior
Хорошо, но не более! У вас потенциал. Это слышно, а вы пошли по легкому пути ВИВАЛЬДИ....
ВСТ плагин в руках умелого исполнителя это чудо
И не имеет значения что играет-главное переносит
свой духовный потенциал,именуемый творчеством
Da, da da, da da da da.
Da, da da, da da da da da da.
That music, play in my mind.
Like breath, flow in my lung
thank you!
