Hybrid Stereo SACD!
Viveza perform miniatures by Gershwin, Elgar, Dvorák, Brahms and many more.
"Canadian ensemble Viveza appreciates a particular type of music that many other musicians only perform as encores or when they want to be temporarily less serious than usual. This type of music is commonly referred to as 'salon' or 'palm court' music. Viveza likes to point out that this music originated around the turn of the twentieth century in hazy establishments that provided refreshments to a less-than-completely polite segment of society, so that it frequently consists of sensual dances like the tango, early Dixieland jazz, Gypsy airs, and other equally exotic fare. The group's programs also include operetta arias and 'light' music by composers such as Brahms, Dvorák, and Ravel who share stylistic elements with those other works." - Patsy Morita, AllMusic
