CD "Mexican Piano Concertos" Samuel Zyman – José Rolón   (World Premiere Recordings)

»Though very different these equally interesting Mexican piano concertos have been recorded in lively performances. We confidently recommend the new TYXart release to any music lover eager to enlarge his own symphonic horizon.
Un programme intéressant et innovant, bien interprété et à recommander à chaque mélomane désireux d’élargir son horizon symphonique concertant.«

»[...] Along with the Zyman, [the Rolón] is presented here in a world première version recording, and it certainly is nice to see them both enrich the piano concerto repertoire. [...]
Only one year old, and the new music label TYXart has already released its share of very good recordings presenting "new" works, and this so far is one of the best.
Don't be skeptical as to the relative obscurity - as far as recordings are concerned - of pianist Claudia Corona and conductor Gregor Bühl. They can spar with the best. [...]
If you're always on the lookout for good, unheard pieces of music worth discovering, this is an opportunity not to be missed. «

»[...] I cannot over-emphasize the care and zest with which these musicians approach this enjoyable program, and the recording quality is excellent. Without question, this disc is a delightful discovery.«

»[...] Claudia Corona gives shape to his (Rolón’s) top rhythmic Piano Concerto in a lively manner and luminous, supported by the Nuremberg Symphony under Gregor Bühl.«
FONO FORUM (09/2013)

»[...] Corona plays brilliantly, and the recording quality is warm, rich and detailed. An enjoyable, offbeat release.«

»[...] CD Tip - Classical Lost and Found
[…] Mexican pianist Claudia Corona, who will be new to most, makes a strong impression with this release. A technically brilliant performer, her articulate phrasing, carefully judged dynamics and innate sense of Latin rhythms ensure superb interpretations of both concertos. She receives outstanding support from German conductor Gregor Bühl and the Nuremburg Symphony [...]«

»[...] Samuel Zyman was born in Mexico City in 1956 but later educated at Juilliard. His piano concerto, from the late 1980s, shows his romantic bent at its most uninhibited and fiery. Jose Rolon (1876-1945) is a new name to me. Also Mexican, Rolon - from an earlier generation - wrote in a more old-fashioned, French-influenced, picturesque manner. His pianism and scoring are quite elaborate. Lovers of big, exciting, virtuosic, in-thegrand- manner modern piano concertos will want to check out this release. The music, the playing, and the sonics are full-throated, rich, detailed, high-voltage, and colorful - full of bravura and bravado. [...]«
American Record Guide (January/February 2014)

»[...] Claudia Corona makes an impression as a soloist on both Concertos with vigorous rythmic accuracy and structural clarity as does the Nuremberg Symphonic Orchestra under Gregor Bühl’s direction making themselves heard, comitted and with great dedication in this excellent CD edition,(also throughout the comprehensive booklet in 5 languages) as advocates of this music, little known in our country.«
