<title>Gabriela Montero to Participate in the New Commission Celebrating Inauguration of Barack Obama</title>
<pubDate>Fri, 18 Dec 2009 12:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[On Wednesday, December 17th, the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies announced the programme for the inauguration of Barack Obama in Washington D.C. on January 20th.<br/><br/>Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, said the day would be "an event of historic proportion."<br/><br/>"It is appropriate that the program will include some of the world's most gifted artists from a wide range of backgrounds and genres," she said.<br/><br/>Cellist Yo-Yo Ma, violinist Itzhak Perlman, pianist Gabriela Montero and clarinetist Anthony McGill will perform a new work composed by John Williams, who also provided music for Obama's election night rally in Chicago 's Grant Park. The committee did not release a title for the work by Williams, who is best known for his film scores such as "Star Wars" and "Jaws."]]></description>

<title>Baroque US/ Canadian Release: October 2nd 2007</title>
<pubDate>Thu, 27 Sep 2007 12:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[“Montero’s hybrid idiom succeeds because she mixes and matches styles with <br/>such quirky finesse … Montero recovers this lost art <br/>while adding her own funky sensibility.” (Time Out, New York)<br/><br/>Gabriela Montero’s extraordinary ability as an improviser, rare in the classical world, is fast becoming her trademark. Following her critically acclaimed Rachmaninov, Chopin, de Falla, Scriabin, Liszt recital disc and her Bach and Beyond improvisational album for EMI Classics, Montero recorded a CD of Baroque improvisations at London’s Abbey Road Studios in June 2007. <br/><br/>Gabriela takes some of the best known Baroque themes, including Pachelbel’s Canon in D Major, Albinoni’s Adagio, Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, Boccherini’s Minuet and Handel’s Water Music, and brings to her classy improvisations the same passion, poetic musicality and sense of structure that she brings to classical works. And as The New York Times reported following one of Gabriela’s improvisational evenings, “no matter how complex the variations, the original melody always emerges triumphantly from a musical tapestry that might weave blues, jazz, tango and Debussy into a multihued framework.” <br/><br/>The US and Canadian release of the album is set for Monday October 2nd.  You can order your copy from:<br/><br/><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Baroque-Album-Gabriela-Montero/dp/B000UPSLDI/ref=pd_bbs_sr_5/105-2800033-8402046?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1190908982&sr=8-5">Amazon</a><br/><a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPreorder?id=264740998&s=143441">Itunes</a><br/><br/>The album will be release in the rest of the world early in 2008.]]></description>
