Remy Franck gives four stars to the new release of José Serebrier: Last Tango Before Sunrise on Pizzicato Magazine:
“The earliest work is the Piano Sonata of 1957, influenced by Latin American rhythms… and played powerfully and with verve by Nadia Shpachenko. The most recent piece is the title track Last Tango Before Sunrise from 2018, and just like the other dance movements on this CD, it offers inspiredly composed music with distinctive melodies and good ideas. … Very original and complex in its colorful orchestration is Colores Magicos from 1971… a colorful and expressive harp concerto of about 12 minutes, very excitingly performed in this interpretation by Sara Cutler under the composer’s direction. Also very original is the Symphony for Percussion, performed with great virtuosity by the Gnessin Ensemble from Moscow.”
