Oceana
Tenebrae is a collaboration with the famous Kronos Quartet--one of the most influential ensembles of our time. The meditative work in two movements "is about pain," says Golijov, "but pain seen from inside and from a distance." Despite being Golijov's reflection on today's tormented world, Tenebrae is a work of radiant beauty that offers consolation and a prayer for peace.

Derivative pastiche
Golijov is all the rage nowadays. Hailed by the New Yorker and the New York Times as the next big thing in classical music, he has all the right credentials to appeal to our politically-correct aesthetic. He's Argentinian, Jewish and American...

Anyone notice the cover image?
If you're curious, the cover image for this DG release is recycled from Bill Evans and Jim Hall's 1962 'Undercurrent' album.

The songs are the key.
I was very curious about this cd and almost picked it up in a store. I decided to check it out online (where I purchased it after streaming a bit) instead. The main offering ('Oceana') was immediately forgettable. It had some interesting sounds...

Best New Music Out There!
Golijov is one of the best composers of art music out there today. His style has been called 'maximalist' in other reviews, which I understand to mean he incorporates a vast variety of stylistic influences into his music. Oceana was composed for...

THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES
WHAT CAN ONE SAY ABOUT GOLIJOV'S MUSIC? FROM AIDANAMAR TO THE PASSION ACCORDING TO SAINT MATTHEW, IT IS VIOLENT, SUBLIME, BUT ABOVE ALL, EXTATIC. NAMES LIKE ROBERT MORAN, STEVE REICH, JOHN ADAMS AND MY BELOVED PHILLIP GLASS COME TO MIND. BUT...

The songs are the high point; the main event is trendy to a fault
Golijov is in danger of being priased for music that strikes me as glib and slick. The main work here, "Ocieana,' begins with a blatant appeal of pop taste: strumming guitars against a taped background of waves softly lapping the shore. I can't...
