RE: Canizares talks about Granados'r... (in reply to Thomas)

quote:
ORIGINAL: Thomas From a classical point of view, Canizares plays without musical phrasing...all sounds stiff, uninspired and boring Plus the sound of the CD is just horrible..boxy and reverb drenched, nonetheless almost mono.. From a flamenco pov, I am with Ricardo : this is cheesy fakemenco, music for the Vanessa Mae listeners... From a background of classical training, it is precisely the "squareness" of Cañizares' interpretation that I found interesting. It goes completely against the all-too-frequent application of "technically convenient" expression. I still remember my delight on hearing Barrueco's early Vox LP of Albeniz and Granados, where the expression is entirely musical, unencumbered by technical distortions. It was a breath of fresh air after Segovia. My favorite interpreter of Granados is the pianist Alicia de Larrocha, whose expression Barrueco's most resembles. I plan to play some of the Cañizares as background music, next time I have some classical friends over for dinner--pianists as well as guitarists--to see whether I get a rise out of them. Yes, Cañizares' production is even worse than the usual classical releases from the big labels. Too much artificial reverb, but not quite as much dynamic compression as some of the big labels stomp on. By the way, who is Vanessa Mae? RNJ
