Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg (violín), Sérgio Assad y Odair Assad (guitarra), Jamey Haddad (percusión)


Grabado en el Joan and Irving Harris Concert Hall, en Aspen, Colorado (USA), entre el 26 y el 31 de julio de 1998.

Sérgio Assad muestra su versatilidad y elegancia como compositor y adaptador en esta incursión en la World Music inspirada en la tradición folclórica de los gitanos europeos.

Excelente combinación de las dos guitarras con el violín limpio, incisivo y preciso de la solista, compositora y profesora de nacionalidad estadounidense Nadja Rose Catherine Salerno-Sonnenberg (Roma, Italia, 1961).

"Aside from the odd Ravi Shankar project, classical and world music fusions seldom seem to work. Here's one that does. Violinist Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg teams up with Brazilian guitarists Sergio and Odair Assad on a set heavily influenced by the gypsy music of Europe and the Middle East. Written mostly by Sergio Assad, these are lively compositions, with dizzying guitar parts punctuated by Salerno-Sonnenberg's piercing violin to great effect. "Andalucia" is a stunning display of the trio's interplay; "The Chase" will appeal to flamenco lovers; and "Gypsy Songs" is a medley of traditional Hungarian folk tunes. On Django Reinhardt's "Nuages," the tempo unfortunately plods along, but "Somogy's Dream" -based on the gypsy music of Transylvania- is a glorious closer. If you like the guitar and world music, or were enthralled by Joshua Bell's Short Trip Home classical fusion disc, you'll love this." Jason Verlinde
