About the Artist
Emanuel Olivieri is principal violist of the Puerto Rico Symphony Orchestra, and professor of viola and theory at the Puerto Rico Conservatory of Music. He has performed extensively as solo and chamber musician in such venues as the Casals Festival, the Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña, the Museo de Arte de Ponce, and the Carmel Bach Festival in California, where he served as co-principal viola. He is also music director of Camerata Filarmonia chamber orchestra.

Album Description
This recording includes the most important pieces composed for viola by puertorrican composers. Jack Delano's Sonata from 1953 is the first work to incorporate puertorrican folk music into a sonata-form genre. Roberto Milano's Duo (1992) is written in a hindemithean neoclassical style. The Meditation (1973) by Ramirez makes use of the viola introspective tone. Quinton's Romanza (1920) is a melancolic piece rooted in the romantic showpiece tradition. Pedreira's Lullaby (1954) has a poignant moorish tune set against an impressionistic harmonic background.

5 out of 5 stars Great Example of Puertorrican Chamber Music.......2002-08-10

I have this CD for almost a year now. This recording represents some of the island composers for the past 80 years or so. For those that doesn't know how a Viola sounds, or which are the 'physical' possibilities of the Viola, then I should say that this is a very good CD to buy. The compositions contained here are not extremely difficult to 'listen to' because they are composed with a tonal or not funtional harmony as the main technique. Mr. Olivieri gives us a very beautiful sound through his instrument and believe it or not, he even plays the piano! Once again, a very beautiful recording that should be part of any serious collection of the Viola instrument.
