RAIMUNDO RODULFO
To LIVE a Dream - Official Bootleg
Internet Release
"A disc that in the time to come will
become a classic."
"A sample of the musical
excellence that offers Raimundo Rodulfo and of the great representation
that he did of our country in the famous Festival BajaProg."
Rock Hecho en Venezuela, Venezuela
"It's clear
this group has such a fine tension... 'Suenos' goes beyond the
craftsmanship's symphonic music early Genesis explored, with Latin
American female voice, progressive rock guitar, etc. Beautiful."
Psyche Van Het Folk, Belgium
"It is full of
life, textures and emotion. Guitar, Spanish and electric are outstanding
and the flute and violin pieces are truly beautiful. Raimundo and his
fellow musicians gel together coherently and still hang sufficiently
‘loose’ to create that edge."
Hairless Heart Herald, UK
"This
live performance gives me the opportunity to confirm my very positive
feedback I wrote about "The Dreams Concerto" album. Raimundo is an
incredibly high-skilled musician able to pinch the chords of his guitar as
few guitarist can do. He has a very classical background and a clever
intellectual approach to music. Listening to his music is actually like
"to live a dream", an intense and multicoloured dream, so well represented
by Peter Rodulfo's paintings. My deep recommendations is to buy his two
official albums and to start the download immediately afterward at
www.RaimundoRodulfo.com"
Tales of Wonder, Italy
"Acoustic and
electric guitar, keyboards, violin and flute draw a romantic and
nevertheless strong progressive outline, which processes influences from
the classical period, Venezuelan folklore and jazz. Just in the extended
instrumental work, is recognized the parallel to the best time of Premiata
Forneria Marconi... Impressive progressive rock in a much better than
bootleg sound. Since Raimundo understands much about filigree music
architecture, he will bring the PFM community to ecstasy."
Ragazzi, Germany
"Rodulfo is one of those
musicians that use very diverse elements for a musical development that
transcends the barriers of styles. Rodulfo is progressive without being
endeavored to be it, without to enclose himself in the artificial
limitations that some musicians impose to himself. I don't find any
purpose in to resemble anybody and on the other hand I see a personal
development, so much in his roles on the acoustic guitar and on the
electric one. As a composer he takes charge of to make rock, baroque
music, Venezuelan folk tradition and a jazzy ingredient visibly present in
his work. The incorporation of flute, harp and violin besides the
traditional rock instruments, is enricher of his work. I have got
pleasantly impressed by this music."
Progresiva70s, Argentina
"This comes
out at a great moment, it's an excellent idea to release a live CD only
after two previous official releases, even if is not an official release.
It's a real gift... The recording really is not so bad and give a great
idea of what the band sound live. Also they are over an hour of free music
here, so it worst to buy the previous one just to have this one, good
chance."
ProgLands, Canada
"Congratulations for such a brilliant work that you
have offered through your webpage, at this moment I am listening to it and
I am completely sure that your performance at BajaProg was one of the best
ones, as far as quality and musical innovation, that appeared in the
festival. The best of everything is that it is a live work that shows
differences respect to which it is heard in studio."
"That was a great idea. I'll be looking forward to
the next album. Thanks from NYC!"
"Excellent
shows, specially the performance of the suite 'Sueños'; on both bootlegs
the result was spectacular... master works."
Comments from the Public
_______________________ ... _______________________
The last three years I have compiled a lot of live performance recordings, playing as a soloist, as a duo, and with a band from seven to eleven musician. These
recordings came from different places in Venezuela and Mexico, from concerts, festivals and even TV shows. I really like some of those; there's nothing compared
to the experience of playing music alive. That energy is captured in those recordings, and I had the fortune to share this experience with very talented musician who
made possible to play live the songs from my first two studio albums in a very creative way.
Much of this music changes a lot from the studio versions. Besides I did different arrangements in some of the original tracks, there is a lot of new improvisation,
solos and spontaneity from each particular musician on stage. I have selected my favorite tracks (four from BajaProg, two from ProgJazz and one from a TV
show). I also rescued for bonus track a studio recording that I did in 1986, it's a solo electric guitar arrangement I did of a Bach suite's Bourre.
Though musically I like these recordings a lot, technically they were not all recorded with the best quality, and the sound mix in some cases isn't the best. For this
reason, I decided to don't issue it as a commercial CD, but an official bootleg. And then I wondered: Why don't release it as a virtual album in the Internet? And
actually, a downloadable CD, in both artwork and music.
The downloadable artwork in JPG format can be printable, it's designed in the same format (sizes and forms) as a CD jewel case booklet and back cover, so
people interested in make it real can burn the songs directly to a CD and print its artwork. It is, I guess, an interesting way to release an Official Bootleg of my live
performances. The sound quality is not the greatest, but it is good enough to enjoy the music well. In those performances there are some fantastic moments that
won't be repeated, special guest musicians and very inspired heart playing.
The sequel of this album,
To LIVE a Dream 2 - Official
Bootleg includes several songs which were left out in the first bootleg, as well as material from other
concerts.

RAIMUNDO RODULFO
To LIVE a Dream 2 - Official Bootleg
Internet Release
"Italian Prog lovers and all fans of
the romantic symphony genre will enjoy this work." "The band plays warmly, the technical presentation of the performances
is good. Raimundo Rodulfo composes heavy symphonic
songs, which sound typically South American. Melodic weight and deep poetry are just as related to Italian
Prog."
Ragazzi, Germany
/ Progressive Newsletter, Germany
"Great venezuelan musician... a tune with typical
latin flavour... a clear influence from Steve Howe in some moments... very
pleasant listening! The band that plays with him is really good!"
Melo's ProgBazaar, UK
"Excellent shows, specially the
performance of the suite 'Sueños'; on both bootlegs the result was
spectacular... master works."

This is the sequel of the live virtual album To LIVE a
Dream - Official Bootleg, which I released by Internet from my website www.RaimundoRodulfo.com a few
months ago. In the same spirit of the first bootleg, this album contains
several recordings of live performances with my band during the last three
years. In this Official Bootleg second release I have included 4 songs
which were left out in the first part, and two different live versions of
Sueños and Tiempos Difíciles. Almost all the music was recorded in
ProgJazz 2002 festival, except Laberinto, recorded in ProgJazz 2001
festival, both concerts in Barquisimeto, Venezuela.
Here you will find more information regarding these two bootlegs. I don't have much more to comment about this release that I haven't said in the first part, I hope
that those who enjoyed the first bootleg also find this second one interesting.
