OBSIDIAN
SECOND PRIZE WINNER CONTEMPORARY CATEGORY XXI COMPETITION FOR PIANO COMPOSITION "FIDELIO" Madrid, Spain OBSIDIAN is a solo piano piece with rugged edges, warrior character, yet clearly identified themes and melodic subjects. Performed by Gabriel Ruiz-Bernal at the piano Approximate length: 2 minutes, 15 seconds OBSIDIAN es una pieza para piano solo con ángulos afilados y carácter guerrero, a su vez, contiene temas y motivos melódicos. Interpretada al piano por el compositor Gabriel Ruiz Bernal Duración: 2 minutos, 15 segundos Some of the comments received at the Fidelio Competition:An unusual insightful, aural interpretation of this volcanic glass stone. The stone’s diverse characteristics translated into various moods, beautifully integrated. Holistic style and structure. Expressive and masterfully interpreted. Ecriture virtuose et difficultés rythmiques mais presque atonal… I like this because it is truly original and shows a lot of musical knowledge that's put to good use to compose a piece that is very interesting to listen to. It has a nice arc, good variety, and the bass holds the piece together well - repetitively but rhythmically and tonally interesting and even exciting. |

Some of the comments received at the Fidelio Competition:Comments on "ARREBATO": Short but mysterious and mischievous. I like how it was executed with great technique. Cool piece. I like it. I get Alberto Ginastrera vibes. Comments on "LA TARARA BAILA": Very Ravel, very imagery, I like the smouldering power beneath the waves. Love it. Great piece, good piano sound and energetic and original texture. Whole tone scales and flamenco rhythms reminiscent of Debussy preludes and Albéniz. A fantastic piece in the impressionistic style, very reminscent of L'isle Joyeuse by Debussy but with your own original spin. [...] Wonderul harmonic ideas and pianistic fireworks. |
