Working with Rudy Van Gelder’s source engineering is always a plus. This vinyl re-mastering is polished and is captured with rich tonal agility and finesse. The warmness of the strings and electric piano are exquisitely juxtaposed with the crispness of the horns and sharpness of the electric guitar. The stereo separation is flawless. The gatefold has a high-quality glossy finish. Vinyl aficionados will be thrilled with Deodato 2. Sound 4.5/5 AudiophileAudition
In his early years, Deodato, 'the gift of God', cultivated a highly original art of give and take in his music. His score for Stanley Kubrick’s science fiction film "A Space Odyssey 2001" – a funky, jazzed-up adaptation of Richard Strauss’s bombastic orchestral work "Also sprach Zarathustra" – opened the ears of innumerable cinema-goers to classical music.
On the present album Deodato again rocks and grooves with works from past eras: Gershwin’s "Rhapsody In Blue" is reworked rhythmically and enriched, while Ravel’s "Pavane" unfolds hesitatingly over a velvety carpet of sound. And why not win new fans for major musical works? Deodato, the master, and his complex musical apparatus impart a true Latin feeling to these covered works.
