Another eden chronos umbra crystal12/19/2023 Al año siguiente editarán el disco Nuevo/2002 dedicado a los compositores mexicanos desde el gran Agustín Lara, pasando por Severiano Briseño, Juan García Esquivel, Alberto Domínguez, Silvestre Revueltas, la cubana Margarita Lecuona, B. Nuevamente junto a Golijov, han colaborado para la película The Man Who Cried/2001, de Sally Potter. Por esa misma época, en el marco de uno de los festivales organizados por la ciudad de Buenos Aires, el Teatro Colón recibió al Kronos Quartet en una función donde se notaba quienes ya éramos admiradores del cuarteto y los neófitos, en la primera mitad el público estaba frío, pero ya en la segunda parte todo el mundo se había entusiasmado. El también argentino, oriundo de la ciudad de La Plata, Osvaldo Golijov, ha visto representadas sus partituras: The Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind de 1997. Para el Kronos Quartet, Latinoamérica nunca estado demasiado distante de su mira, comenzando por Astor Piazzolla que los conociera hacia el final de su vida, se entusiasmara con el proyecto del grupo y se comprometiera a escribir una suite para ellos, en el cual él mismo participaría y que resultaría ser su última grabación en estudio, la reconocida placa Five Tango Sensations de 1991, que ya se ha comentado oportunamente. Rahman's Dil Se soundtrack and start exploring the brave new world of remixes, but if this music is new for you, Stolen Heart will serve as a great Bollywood appetizer, and a very tasty Kronos dish, all at once. Once you have ingested a whole lot of mainstream Bollywood songs and yearn for something new and interesting, you should get A.R. Nothing radical- but it is a gentle, tickling listening pleasure. In essence, Kronos have stripped these compositions, leaving the skeleton and adding their own subtle colors. And I really loved the subdued, instrumental Mehbooba Mehbooba- if you know the raunchy original version, from the Sholay movie soundtrack, it's something new and different. Asha Bhosle's voice is as good as ever- her and her sister, the great Lata Mangeshkar are like Placido Domingos of the Indian music, and will only retire when they are 120 years old. But there are some enhancements, too subtle to pick up at first: strange sound of the instruments, old fashion keyboards adding surreal touch, dissonances and weird sounds- elephants, occasional laughter, and a wicked James Bond thing in Saiyan Re Saiyan, plus that woozy feel of string quartet gone native. And that's the problem- some tracks on this CD sound just like the originals, especiallly Dum Maro Dum. The first question may be "Where's Kronos?" I have been listening to Bollywood soundtracks for years and my Bollywood playlist has hundreds of songs, many procured here on iTunes: everything from good ol' Kishore Kumar to all the latest flicks, and this Kronos outing would blend in there just fine. My introduction to Kronos was through the violent soundtrack to Requiem for a Dream, and I was hoping for something radical here, a jazzy classical Bollywood fusion, but they almost disappear in the mix. But I do like it more and more as I keep discovering very interesting nuances in the musical fabric. Burman's music left me rather confused at first.
