MAGIC REALISM: Villa-Lobos, Golijov, & Piazolla
This prelude concert to the LA Phil's Americans and Americas festival presents fascinating music from Brazil and Argentina. Some of the very best chamber music of the vastly prolific Heitor Villa-Lobos includes the duo for clarinet and flute Choros No 2 from his years in Paris, his Fifth Quartet, apltly name "La Popular" for its Amazonian folk borrowings and dazzling colors, and the high stakes post-war Jet Whistle for flute and cello. Astor Piazolla is represented by an intimate scene in Buenos Aires called Little Urchin of the Grasy Spoon with actor, string trio and bass. Two contrasting works by Osvaldo Golijov, the intoxicating Lullaby and Doina and the highly charged drama of Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind, a clarinet quintet of enormous power, complete the program.
The Denali Quartet, and its members Joel Pargman, violin, Alma Lisa Fernandez, viola, and Timothy Loo, cello, are joined by the Argentine-American actor Castulo Guerra, Pamela Vilek Martchev, flute, Donald Foster, and Nico Abondolo, double bass.
