Reviews
. Like the painter's art, Mr. Rodríguez's
FRIDA contrasts serene lyricism with a much harsher
language that underlines the tragedy of Ms. Kahlo's life.
The SUITE uses a singer-narrator to outline the course of
[Kahlo's] life. Mr. Rodríguez has created music of lyric
beauty as well as pungent dissonance. Episodes of strongly
Latin-flavored music reflect the Mexican setting of the
piece. Mr. Rodríguez's work makes a haunting tribute to an
unforgettable artist who seemed to be damned by fate.
