More Franzetti with Orquesta Nova in ST 1991

Posted by on



Compositional information is here.  Note that Franzetti wrote most of the tracks, some others from famed accordeon player / composer Astor Piazzolla, and sax man Paquito D'Rivera, even the great AC Jobim, who always seems to wind up on these latin CDs somehow or another.

Band info here.  Music is classical chamber music, unfortunately, both minimal fusion and minimal jazziness.  Pity, but had to be added to the discography.

I don't remember which Jobim album the track called Amparo appeared on, but it shows the depth of his genius and the incredible emotional resonance he was capable of, in that he wasn't just limited to the overplayed 'Desafinado' type songs or god forbid the even more atrocious 'Girl from Ipanema' ear crap:



I'll quote bandcamp:

Orquesta Nova was a dream in the eyes of Juliet Haffner and Carlos Franzetti three years ago when they first worked together and recorded a tape for string quartet of one of Carlos' pieces, "Serenata." David Chesky of Chesky Records was having the same dream, which was to record the music of Latin America with a classical chamber ensemble. It all came together with the release of their first CD, which has met with great critical acclaim. Carlos Franzetti, born in Argentina, is a well known composer who has written everything from concert pieces to film scores. He has had works played by such groups as the New American Orchestra in Los Angeles, the Buffalo Philharmonic and Musical Elements. Besides his considerable skills as a composer and arranger, his career as a pianist has brought him together with Paquito D'Rivera and as the soloist on his own album, Galaxy Dust, accompanied by a large orchestra. Juliet Haffner, co-leader of Orquesta Nova, was serenaded as a child with both Latin American and Rumanian Gypsy music, courtesy of her musical parents. Juliet, following in her mother's footsteps, began playing the guitar at an early age, followed soon by the violin, but she majored in viola at Juilliard. The artists who make up Orquestra Nova are an extraordinary group of versatile musicians, including: violinists Guillermo Figueroa and Robert Chausow, cellist Erik Friedlander, bassist David Finck, flautist Gary Schocker, and saxophone/ clarinet player Lawrence Feldman.
