	peermusic classical : Composer Silvestre Revueltas
		Silvestre Revueltas' memory is immersed in a cloud of misunderstanding, prejudice and myth.
		Revueltas shared with his fellow artists the belief in popular cultural expressions as the ideal foundation for the development of a "new revolutionary culture." In fact, he was at one time the chairman of the League of Revolutionary Writers and Artists.
		Revueltas also exploits the out-of-tuneness of the village bands: by consistently choosing instruments of extreme register like the piccolo, the bass and E-flat clarinets, the tuba and the contrabass, shrillness and spontaneous dissonance become a characteristic of color rather than intonation.

	March Classical -- Program Notes - Silvestre Revueltas
		Silvestre Revueltas' music – most of it written during the last decade of his short life – bursts with energy, instrumental color, and mocking humor.
		In the mid-1920s, Revueltas made trips down to Mexico for several series of recitals of modern music; his piano accompanist was the young Carlos Chávez.
		Revueltas was hard-living and self-destructive; although he officially succumbed to pneumonia at age 40, the long-term truth is that he drank himself to death.

		Revueltas' farniliar tunes and sounds are daringly intertwined or layered, creating a mosaic of clean and transparent complexity that can be listen to this way, or the other, or both.

		Next to Revueltas’ image as a musical genius is the one of the political leader and professor, as well as the respectable individual.
		The journey to Spain was totally relevant and meaningful for Revueltas since he was able to confirm his revolutionary socialism as a result of the political situation not only in Spain, but in every country in Western Europe.

	Program Notes
		Silvestre Revueltas was born at the dawn of the twentieth century, and in his short, messy life he staked an essential place in the currents of modernism that were emerging in his country.
		Revueltas was going nowhere when, at the end of 1928, he received an invitation from Chávez, who had recently accepted the directorships of the National Conservatory of Music and the Mexico Symphony Orchestra in Mexico City.
		Revueltas was drawn to the cinema, which in his time was viewed not merely as an entertainment genre but as a medium for social commentary and political expression.

		Revueltas had died in 1940 from complications of chronic alcoholism, his music virtually unknown outside of Mexico, some performances given during a trip to Spain in 1937 notwithstanding.
		Revueltas had a varied and useful musical education, comprised of a fair amount of practical experience.
		Revueltas based the work on a poem that describes the ritual killing of a snake from Cuban writer Nicolás Guillén's collection West Indies Ltd., published in 1934.

	Hollywood Bowl - Los Angeles Philharmonic
		Silvestre Revueltas (1899-1940) loved the music of his people.
		Revueltas' style is more than evident in La noche de los Mayas (The Night of the Mayas), a concert suite drawn from a 1939 film score of the same name.
		In the final variation, Revueltas brings back the music that began the first movement and ends the work, propelled by the phalanx of percussionists, in a frenzied torrent of sound.

	Gisèle Ben-Dor, conductor
		Revueltas is in many ways the musical analog to iconic muralist Diego Rivera; his modernist art divines the spirits of Mexican folklore to forge an original and vibrant vision, one simultaneously earthy and surreal in true Day of the Dead manner.
		Revueltas is often called the Mexican De Falla, and you can hear Mexico in him as you can hear Spain in De Falla.
		With invitations to conduct Revueltas in Italy and Ginastera in Finland and Switzerland, Ben-Dor is chasing her passions around the world from her family base in New Jersey.

		Revueltas and Chavez were friends in their twenties, but turned enemies in their thirties.
		For years Revueltas' music suffered neglect while the shrewd politico Chavez, who outlived his rival by almost 40 years, carved a career for himself as the Grand Old Man of Mexican Music.
		For a long time his music was shrouded in mystery; recordings and performances were difficult to come by, and some of his major works were ignored by musicians because they were film scores.

		The elemental forces are suggested by the hypnotic repetition of the main rhythmic gesture underlining the whole work and which is in fact the musical translation, as it were, of the purely phonetic refrain in Guillén’s poem.
		Revueltas conjures up a fantastic sound world in accordance to his own all-embracing vision of the Maya world.
		This is a worthwhile addition to Revueltas’ discography though it has already been recorded at least once before (KOCH 3-7421-2 which I have not heard).

		Silvestre Revueltas is an exciting and original composer and this well-priced 2 CD set is an excellent way to enjoy his music.
		Revueltas seemed to have a gift for film music, and also for writing music that transferred well to the concert hall.
		Revueltas had a very clear, original voice, although at times it got a little abstract for me. Notes are thorough and very well written and include three pictures of Revueltas.

	Santa Barbara Symphony - Silvestre Revueltas
		Revueltas used folklore not as quotes within a familiar structure, but in ways that pull that structure apart.
		For Revueltas, whose teenage years were spent in the throws of the Mexican Revolution, music was about establishing national identity in much the same way as Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo approached painting.
		Revueltas is often linked to his fellow nationalist composer Carlos Chávez, though the pairing tends to highlight their differences rather than similarities.

	Gisèle Ben-Dor, conductor
		Revueltas, born on the last day of 1899, was the subject of a centennial tribute by the Santa Barbara Symphony in January of this year.
		For the 1998-99 season-a year before our Revueltas festival-I had the orchestra accompany the Santa Barbara State Street Ballet in La Coronela, which tells the story of oppression and liberation in Mexico in the early years of this century.
		In the book "Silvestre Revueltas por el mismo" (best translated as "Silvestre Revueltas, in his own words) I discovered an extraordinary personality, deeply touching both in its radiant, life-embracing moments and in its melancholy and despair.

	Silvestre Revueltas
		The music of Revueltas is striking in its use of distinctive tone colors and complex rhythmic structures, often showing the influence of European composers such as Igor Stravinsky.
		To do this, he often used elements of the folk songs and dances of the mestizo culture (a blend of European and native traditions that we recognize in styles such as mariachi music).
		Revueltas also took elements of the so-called Aztec Renaissance, which tried to evoke pre-Columbian musical and cultural practice.

	Walt Disney Concert Hall - Piece Detail
		It was during this period that Revueltas composed his three string quartets.
		Revueltas develops the opening thematic material briefly and dramatically before the movement closes with an extended, emotive slower section that acts as a de facto slow movement and provides the players with some wonderful expressive possibilities.
		The imitative counterpoint that begins the short finale recalls Revueltas' early love of Bach, but its final chords, a minute and a half later, return the listener firmly to the world of the 20th century.

		What exciting music this is! I have heard little of Silvestre Revueltas’ music before this, but with such compelling advocacy as this, I shall have no more reason not to, and neither should you.
		Revueltas revealed that it was in fact a complicated mathematical problem that was virtually insoluble unless one had a well-founded knowledge of mathematics.
		This disc is a fine introduction to the music of Revueltas – never have I listened to track after track with such anticipation of what I mind find in the next – I felt like a child in a candy store.

		Born on the last day of 1899, in Santiago Papasquiaro, Durango, a small town in the north of Mexico, as a child, Silvestre Revueltas showed great interest in music, his early artistic bent apparent by 1906.
		This series of works constitutes a vivid example of his extraordinary contribution to the form of the national Mexican symphonic poem, with compositions that show his originality and freshness of inspiration, together with his technical mastery.
		On 15 December 1938 Revueltas himself conducted the Symphony Orchestra of Mexico in the Palacio de Bellas Artes in a programme that included Sensemayá, inspired by the poem of the same name by the famous Cuban poet Nicolás Guillén, a work dealing with the negro ritual of the death of a snake.

		Olivia Revueltas, a rebellious self-taught musician, went completely against the norm and became one of Mexico's premiere jazz performers, despite the fact that she was a Latin American woman jazz instrumentalist in a predominantly male field--not an easy road to travel.
		She had to wait 5 years without playing to get her permission to work and her permanent residence established, once her papers were ready, she started playing again (from 1994) at the most important Museums of San Antonio as well Trinity University and UTSA.
		Olivia Revueltas, niece of the late, great Mexican Composer Silvestre Revueltas, is a brilliant musician in her own right.

		Unlike many people I think, I've been a fan of Revueltas since I was quite young...I first heard Sensemaya at the age of 12 and was blown away.
		Silvestre Revueltas is an exciting and original composer and this well-priced 2 CD set is an excellent way to enjoy his music.
		Why more people haven't heard of Revueltas is beyond me. It must be the startlingly small amount of recordings available, because it's definetly not his music.

		There have been several important collections of the music of Silvestre Revueltas (1899-1940) released during the past decade, most notably the one issued by Sony and conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen.
		But those pieces are included on nearly every Revueltas collection; it's the rarities on this disc that make it special.
		There's the study-like set of Pieza Para Doce Instrumentos, composed in 1929 shortly after the composer returned to Mexico from the US, and Planos of 1934, the nearest thing to unvarnished modernism that he ever attempted.

		As a result, Revueltas' compositions, originally written as danced pantomimes with puppets, have been "uncovered" and will be performed for the first time in the United States as intended, including the world premier of Troka el Poderoso.
		"Revueltas and others were convinced that through puppets children would learn about the concepts of the modern world, such as technology, in a much easier way," Pérez-Gómez said.

	Sensemayá - Music of Silvestre Revueltas
		For those of us who lament the over-intellectualisation of 20th century music, Revueltas is alternative in spades.
		For those who have not made the composer's acquaintance and who are looking for a musical comparison: imagine Stravinsky in his neo-classic phase, with, however, a continual harking back to the wildness of Sacre du Printemps.
		As with Mahler, who had to wait fifty years for his parallel prediction to be vindicated, it seems Revueltas had a sure sense of his own significance.
