Free Music Notes for Neruda
Free Music Review: Not Neruda in accented English, please
Hit: 2 Stars
As a Spanish speaker and admirer of (any) literature, I do believe that the most important aspect of any poetry is -- more than rhyme and structure -- its rhytm; unless, of course, someone's genius translates the same impact into another language. I cannot recall being fully satisfied when I read poetry outside its language; be it Pablo Neruda or Emily Dickinson. Here we have some of the most fabulous poetry of the XXth century translated into English and sung with a Brazilian accent....hmmm.
I admire Ms Souza's incredible musicianship. She is not just a singer, he is a true artist/musician trying to explore and expand, as has been succesfully proven in her Duos CDs. But her phrasing is rooted in Portuguese and these bland melodies do not lift Neruda's poetry out of his original milieu. So: two stars for the effort, but I cannot hear this disc again.
