John Williams - El Diablo Suelto: Guitar Music of Venezuela (2003)

Posted By: Designol

Date: 29 Jan 2023 17:11:54

A new album release by guitarist John Williams is always cause for great anticipation, not only for another opportunity to marvel at his virtuosity, but also to experience music from unheralded areas of the repertoire. EL DIABLO SUELTO is a survey of the guitar music of Venezuela, a vibrant mixture of elements from the cultures of the indigenous Indians, Spanish colonists, and the Africans originally brought to the country as slaves. Williams demonstrates a thorough understanding of the music's heritage, and his commitment is evident in performances that are dynamic and incisive.

Williams' remarkable technique allows him to easily negotiate the complexities of these intensely rhythmic pieces, but his keen musical intelligence renders these accounts more than exercises of technical expertise. He skillfully wields a broad palette of tonal colors to express the rich harmonic language and beautiful melodies in works arranged by his mentor, the great Venezuelan guitarist Alirio Diaz. The program includes several duets with Alfonso Montes, a master of Venezuela's national instrument, the cuatro. Williams has championed the music of Latin America throughout his career, and EL DIABLO SUELTO is another excellent showcase to be added to his illustrious discography.

The evolution of guitar-playing and guitar music in Venezuela as a "serious" art form is basically a 20th century phenomenon spurred on by the teaching of Raúl Borges (represented here by his vivacious Vals Venezolano) and particularly by his two pupils, guitarist Alirio Díaz and Antonio Lauro. Fittingly, the latter's work features prominently in this exceptionally well chosen and well played collection that includes the Scarlattian Seis por derecho, the lovely Romanza, and the delightful Angostura, among other works.

All of these pieces show the influence of Venezuelan folksong and dance, an intoxicating mixture of European forms such as the waltz and fandango married to native Indian and African rhythms and melodies. You won't hear much Strauss, for example, in the Venezuelan version of the waltz, which is much faster and more rhythmically intricate, and while most of these pieces are quite short and simple, what they lack in formal complexity they make up for in sheer energy and rhythmic gusto.

Several of these little gems, including the title work El Diablo suelto by Heraclio Fernández, Pedro Elías Gutiérrez's Alma Llanera, and Lauro's Nelly and El Marabino, call for the accompaniment of a second, small guitar (cuatro), here admirably played by Alfonso Montes; but in all of the remaining 22 tracks John Williams offers exceptional solo playing that is both rhythmically charged and lyrically impulsive. The concluding piece, Alfonso Montes' Preludio de Adíos, one of the few slow and reflective numbers here, has a particularly wistful charm that Williams captures perfectly.

There are mountains of guitar recordings on today's market, many of which feature music by Venezuelan composers (Lauro in particular), and even Alirio Díaz himself made several discs for Vanguard that were reissued on CD several years ago that may at some point return to the catalog, but it would be difficult to imagine a finer tribute to a remarkable and appealing musical tradition than this one. Sony's engineers offer extremely close-up, realistic sound that puts the players right in front of you–but happily Williams can withstand the scrutiny, and there's virtually no distracting squeaking of fingers across the frets such as mars so many guitar recitals. In a word: brilliant.
