Mit diesem Stück war Dr. Schimmel zusammen mit dem Minnesota Orchestra auf Tournee wovon es auch eine Aufnahme gibt. Weitere Aufführungen mit dem Grand Teton Festival Orchestra in Jackson Hole, Wyoming und dem Eugene Symphony in Eugene, Oregon.
"Valentino Dances" ist ein Zehn-Minuten Prunkstück – von seiner Oper, "The Dream of Valentino" - über Rudolph Valentino, den legendären Filmstar und Tango-Tänzer aus den 20iger Jahren in Hollywood. Brillant konzipiert und elegant inszeniert, es bleibt viel Platz für Dr. Schimmel's Tango Kompetenz durch Phrasierung, Verzierungen und Kadenzen. |
