Pro Reviews: Serenata
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews To say that this recording is a surprise is an understatement. It is a shock, but not in the way one might expect. First off, this duet appearance by mandolinist Mike Marshall and Pianist Jovino Santos Neto is a collection of compositions by the great Brazilian wizard Hermeto Pascoal. Pascoal is easily the most prolific and challenging of Brazil's master musician class and his music transcends all boundaries and genres. Neto is Pascoal's pianist and has been for over 15 years; he is also the executor of his musical estatethough the master is still very much alive, he's too busy composing to trilfe with details. He and Marshall teamed with a number of other musicians to offer Pascoal in a unique way. They succeed in spades and perhaps too well. The material here, most of which has never been heard before is either from a radically subdued side of Pacoal's harmonic personality or has been wildly reinterpretedsometimes both. This is not to say that Serenata is in any way a failure or something that is not desirable. Quite the opposite: if anything it is the most "listenable" recording of the man's music ever issued because it finds its aesthetic space and stays in it. And while their approach is seamless, warm, human and accessible, it lacks wildness and vision; it settles it seems too easily for feeling rather than challenge. Most listeners will never notice this and it is a particular of the reviewer to wish for something a bit edgier. That said, this is nonetheless a fine recording and one that should be heard - Thom Jurek, All Music Guide |
