Product details

Margaret Brandman's LA VIDA APASIONADA SUITE is a set of eight Latin-American dance style pieces composed since 2021. After discovering and recording Margaret's existing work for violin and piano - Jucaro Rhumba D'Amor (composed in 2013), celebrated Australian violinist Vov Dylan commissioned the composer to compose seven additional works to create a suiteencompassing diverse Latin-American dance rhythms for the Vov Dylan Palace Orchestra.

Once the larger ensemble versions were completed, Margaret Brandman proceeded to arrange the pieces for several smaller chamber ensembles. Vov Dylan and the composer have recorded the Violin and Piano versions for this CD and have also the filmed the composer's trio arrangements for Violin, Piano, and Double Bass. This version is the duet for Violin and Piano which includes two bonus tracks: Vov's interview with Margaret Brandman to discover her inspiration for the works, and the recording of the Overture to La Vida Apasionada performed live at Margaret's Highlights and Premieres Concert in 2022.

The sequence of the works in the suite weaves a narrative of love, from a passionate encounter,
to moments of bliss, while in the central movement Tristeza del Corazón, the music expresses the inevitable moments of heartbreak in a relationship, after which love returns and triumphs.

The moods of the eight movements in the suite are:

Tango Apasionada - passionate

Bossa Sonora -sensuous

Summer Samba - light-hearted

Tristeza del Corazón Roto - sorrowful

Morning Star Cha Cha Cha - uplifting

Danza de la Alegría - upbeat and joyous

Primavera Waltz - playful

Jucaro Rhumba d'Amor - celebratory
