专辑介绍
by Alex Henderson
When an album is released in order to raise money for a charitable cause, many critics -- even some of the tougher, more hard-nosed ones -- can become overly generous. They fear -- perhaps consciously, perhaps subconsciously -- that if they say something negative about a CD that is raising money for a worthy cause like AIDS research, abortion rights, disaster relief, or feeding homeless children in developing countries, they will end up looking like the bad guy. In that type of scenario, two-star material can end up receiving four-star reviews. But however worthy the cause, inferior music is still inferior music. Thankfully, this 2005 release by Spanish composer/producer David Caballero, aka Gnomusy, is a charitable CD that has artistic value and doesn't slack off creatively. The Madrid resident recorded Ethereality in order to raise money for the organization Doctors Without Borders -- and instead of providing forgettable music for a worthwhile cause, he provides memorable music for a worthwhile cause. A new age disc that is peaceful and good-natured but not mindless or unsubstantial, Ethereality has been greatly influenced by both world music and the European classical tradition. Celtic music is a definite influence, as is South American music -- specifically, the Andean sounds of Peru and Bolivia. But despite those South American influences, this CD ultimately has a very West European quality. Ethereality often makes you feel like you're sitting in a café in Milan or Vienna watching the world go by -- perhaps some South American visitors are sitting at the next table, but the café is still somewhere in Western Europe. And, of course, the Euro-classical composers who have influenced Caballero and similar new age artists came from countries like Switzerland, Germany, Italy, and Austria. New age enthusiasts needn't worry about finding inferior material on this appealing CD; Ethereality is one charitable disc that is deserving of any favorable reviews it receives.
热门评论
- @雪父：newage音乐中不乏柔情委婉、激荡豪情；有脉脉如天籁的消魂之曲，有浑浑如排山倒海之音。凡是能用美好的言辞来描述的我都几近所有解数来挥毫，但音乐的思维漫无边际，灵感的空间浩荡无边，偶尔有游离的思绪也在所难免，因而期冀各位同好沿这些“花言巧语”顺势蔓延，去发扬光大，去尽情受用，这也是声音的奢望之极，也是音乐之魅力所在。音乐就是语言，音乐就是自然，音乐就是鸟语花香，就是自然，就是宇宙，就是生命的存在。

- @路德·古利特(这家伙很聪明什么也没留下...)：卡巴莱罗手选了他最受欢迎的曲目，包括“灵巧”，最终的收藏反映了音乐中充满幻想的一生。在卡巴莱罗的世界里，悖论并不是陌生人。除了学习和创作音乐，卡巴莱罗在马德里理工大学主修林业工程，他现在是研究森林火灾和信息系统项目的科学家，例如欧盟委员会资助的EuFiRabb。他的职业生涯致力于森林火灾的研究和管理，使他与大自然密切接触，这是他最大的灵感之一。
