PETE MALINVERNI / JULIET KURTZMAN CANDLELIGHT QUARTET play music from their acclaimed new recording, “Candlelight - Love in the Time of Cholera”, inspired by the great novel of that name by Gabriel Garcia-Marquez. Spotlighting music of the Americas, from Tangos to Ragtime to Jazz, this program calls to mind an earlier age, when Romance was to be sought, and Love was known to conquer all. Stereophile said their newest recording …“is more a juxtaposition than a blend. Kurtzman portrays melodies in a violin sound of surpassing purity. Malinverni creates spontaneous embellishments and rhythmic sparks and displacements that could only come from a jazz musician. He takes infrequent, vivid solos. On “Oblivion”, he follows Kurtzman’s haunting portrayal of Astor Piazzolla’s theme with an improvised new corollary of that theme, also haunting". Downbeat said the recording …“showcases exquisite melodic lines from both instrumentalists, as well as brilliant bouts of dialog. Malinverni, who cites Piazzolla as a key influence, has teamed with Kurtzman to craft an album that has a degree of the irresistible, heart-piercing emotive quality of his hero’s finest works".
