Free Music Notes for Introducing Ruben GonzalezFree Music Review: Brillant and fresh Hit: 5 Stars
I just saw Ruben Gonzales and Ibrahim Ferrer in concert a few weeks ago and the live performance put me in awe of these talented musicians. The rhythms and melodies that Ruben strings together are heavenly - his technical mastery of the piano is unbelievable. I believe that this disc is much better than the Buena Vista Social Club disc with greater creativity and spark.
Free Music Review: A Ruben Gonzalez fan from The Netherlands Hit: 5 Stars
Absolutely perfect music; listening to this music helps us through the cold and drizzle winter in the Netherlands. If I had to chose one cd to take with me to a deserted island, it would be this one definitely. But one should also try Compay Segundo (Lo mejor de la vida) who also joined Ry Cooder and Gonzalez at the recording of Buena Vista Social Club.
Free Music Review: A rare gift from a national treasure. Hit: 5 Stars
This is a beautiful, lyrical, enchanting album that can be listened to on many levels. For setting a relaxed, upbeat sunny weekend mood, this is a lovely choice. For deeper reflection, Gonzales' effortless phrasing and rhythmic playfullness are near awe-inspiring. I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't love this wonderful masterwork.
Free Music Review: Unbelievable, magnificent, soul moving music! Hit: 5 Stars
This is my favorite album. It is so beautiful, they music so moving. What an unbelievably gifted musician. I find myself wondering what it must have been like in 40's and 50's Cuba and if everything else there is like a time capsule - all bottled up with no exposure to the outside world. How wonderful that this album was made.
Free Music Review: Buy it now -- don't waste time reading reviews Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of the best discs out there, both for its virtuosity and for its song selection. The songs are authentically Cuban and Gonzalez finally has been rescued from an obscure old age in Cuba -- the guy couldn't even afford his own piano. This disc is a must have in any serious Cuban collection. Great recording too.
