Reviews:
"Cellist Antonio Lysy and pianist Bryan Pezzone play gorgeously and are gorgeously recorded. Sonics are holographic in clarity and presence, rich in tonal splendor, and revealing of the venue (Santa Monica's The Broad Stage). Just listen to the deeply resonant cello pizzicatos that reverberate into silence at the end Schifrin's Pampas. This is one of the most realistic and beautiful records I've heard - ever." Mark Lehman, The Absolute Sound, December 2012
"Classical music recorded all-analog using purist microphone techniques are few these days. Here is one from Bob Attiyeh's Yarlung Records that is both sonically and musically exquisite... The stage is spacious, the mix of direct to reflected sound is ideal, the image solidity, stability and focus are life-like and the level of transparency and freedom from electronic artifacts are unsurpassed in my listening experience... If this recording doesn't move you emotionally you are brain dead. If you don't agree that this is one of the finest recordings you have ever heard, your system needs to go in for repairs. " - Michael Fremer, Musicangle, June 2011
“On the other side of the planet from the likes of Bartók and Kodály, composers were no less intrigued by the synthesis of nationalistic folk music with Western art music. Paving the way for a generation of composers in Argentina was Alberto Ginastera, from whom followed José Bragato, Osvaldo Golijov, Lalo Schifrin, and perhaps most recognized today, Astor Piazzolla. This Yarlung Records disc celebrates the extensive contributions these composers made to the cello repertoire. Cellist Antonio Lysy is joined by pianist Brian Pezzone, bassist Pablo Motta, and members of the Capitol Ensemble in this memorable survey they includes diverse works scored for cello solo, cello and piano, or cello and small ensemble. In all cases, Lysy's playing is exemplary. Not only does he toss off any technical difficulties with apparent ease, but also brings his heritage to the fore with brilliantly stylized interpretations filled with panache, passion, and Argentine flair. Despite the careful measures taken by Yarlung, and the detailed description provided of the recording process, the recorded sound quality is not always ideal. When Lysy is playing with his ensemble, the sound is vivid, warm, and well developed. When Lysy plays by himself, or sometimes with just cello and piano, the microphone seems to be very close to the cello and Lysy's sound comes out as flat and undeveloped. Still, Lysy's enjoyable program and near-flawless execution still merits listening.” AllMusic Review by Mike D. Brownell
