About

In their liner notes for this string of estrellitas (‘small stars’), Elena Urioste and Tom Poster admit to a shared love for ‘an old-world, golden sound and for melodies that tug at the heartstrings’. This has resulted in a deeply personal collection of miniatures full of winks, sighs and tears aimed at transporting the listener to bygone eras of fireside salon concerts. With a few exceptions, including Elgar’s Chanson de Nuit and Salut d’amour, the pieces are arrangements by the great violinists of that bygone, golden age: Auer, Kreisler, Zimbalist, Heifetz … while the originals they are based upon range from Gluck’s Melodie from Orpheus and Euridice and Liszt’s Consolation No. 3 to Beau soir by Debussy and Estrellita by Manuel Ponce. In a closing section Elena Urioste and Tom Poster also pay their respects to the Great American Songbook, with new arrangements, signed Tom Poster, of Moon River, When I Fall in Love and Over the Rainbow.

Reviews

November 2018

The SACD sound is first-class and the booklet notes by both artists attractive, not least in drawing attention to the great artists of the past whose performances and arrangements are saluted in this pleasing selection.

January 2019

It is indeed fireside music, played with warmth, intimacy and emotional connection.

The Herald (Glasgow) November 2018

Although given the best of modern recordings, this is quite an old fashioned album of lush repertoire, beautifully played… There’s not a seasonal tune on it, but Estrellita is the Christmas gift to please just about anyone.
