Its the best CD put out by the 4th Generation line-up, as it contains the best versions of most of the music interpreted here (La Malaguena, Son de la Negra, etc.,). As a side note, Vargas has issued several CDs since this one that have not made it through the distribution channels in the ...             Vivaldi - Gloria · Nulla in mundo pax sincera · Nisi Dominus · Cantatas / Kirkby · Bott · Nelson · Watkinson ...10 reviews Antonio Vivaldi, Christopher Hogwood, ... Decca, 1997 Glorious cantatas on the second CD For once the 5 stars are worth it. The choral works on disc 1 are masterful benchmark interpretations of the pick of Vivaldi's sacred output. What makes it a real bargain however is the second disc of cantatas - one of Emma Kirkby and Catherine Bott's finest achievements on the old L'Oiseau Lyre label. Couple this with full texts and an intelligent booklet. Wonderful!             Mejor Mariachi del Mundo3 reviews Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán Sony International, 2003 Kool. This is a great CD considering it old. I think it was recorded back in the 50's. If you like Sones de Jalisco by the same group, then you should check this one out too.             Pasodobles Con el Mejor Mariachi del Mundo2 reviews Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán Sony International, 2003 Classic Mariachi Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan are known as the best mariachi in the world, and it is definitely for a reason. The musicianship is tight, with all of the guitars, trumpets, and strings executed perfectly and beautifully. The beauty, quality, and precision of this recording is so well-executed that one could very well mistake the songs for being performed by an entire orquestra (as opposed to ...             Pa'l Mundo2 reviews Wisin & Yandel Machete Music, 2006 The Best Duo Of All Time Hands Down!!! This is the Deluxe Edition with the videos and their new songs.Especially one of the hottest songs ever "Pam Pam"is on the second CD.Wisin and Yandel are 10 levels ahead of the competition.They've crafted and carefully made all they're new songs to be true masterpices.They are the geniuses of club bangin' reggaeton,and with the best producers in reggaeton history helping them leave the rest of ...             Son...Para El Mundo2 reviews Jorge Celedon Sony International, 2006 Jorge does it again! Jorge Celedon is the biggest artist in vallenato at the moment and has been for the last few years. His new album is just as good as Juepa Je!... in fact it's better, he is experimenting even more. What makes vallenato stand out for me are the gorgeous melodies of the songs. Jorge does beautiful melodies better than anyone else at the moment and it's why he is king. Also the accordion by ...             Baroque Adagios3 reviews Janos Starker, Julian Lloyd Webber, ... Decca, 2002 Why is this beautiful set so low in Amazon sales? While classical music is achieving a resurgence in the UK and Finland, in the U.S. the meager proportion of classical music among record store and department offerings still reflects classical's waning status. What we do find even in drugstores and supermarkets is inexpensive "mood" collections like "Romance", "Spring", "Melancholy", etc. I have no problem with this - some of the unnamed ...             El Mundo Se Equivoca5 reviews La 5a Estacion Sony International, 2006 Pure talent, really good. I really enjoy listening to this group because of several things. I really like the idea of the dramatic lyrics such as "no me dejaste otra opcion que arrancarme la piel y aguantar el dolor" (you didn't give me a choice but to tear my flesh and bear the pain) on "PARA NO DECIRTE ADIOS" or "ahora que te vas yo te guardo un sentimiento porque se que no es correcto dejar nuestra vida atras. Ahora ...             Baroque for Beauty Sleep: Sweet Dreams for Beautiful Dreamers6 reviews Tomaso Albinoni, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Philips, 1998 Baroque to Comfort and Sleep By Baroque is such a wide and wonderful musical discovery for us modern types. It is soothing and quieting to the soul, and in this case for the body as well. Whether used as lullaby inducing or just listening pleasure and relaxation, this is nice collection. Including wide array of instruments: strings, flute, panpipes, oboe, flute, harp, guitar, recorder, piano, and voice --- this is truly ...             Rhythms del Mundo: Cuba43 reviews Various Artists Hip-O Records, 2006 FANTASTIC SALSA CD OF SONGS YOU WOULDN'T EXPECT This is a must-own CD from Buena Vista Social Club. Mainstream rock, pop, and alternative redone in Salsa. My favorites are Buena Vista's version of Coldplay song and of U2. You will not be disappointed.             El Paquete del Topo-Gigio1 review El Paquete Del Topo-Gigio Studio Latino, 2006 The "ratoncito" of my dreams. The "ratoncito" of my dreams. Memory when he was young and Gigio Awkward person cheered the days to me. Their songs continue being beautiful and seductive. Ah, ...and ...in Castilian. A wonderful collection for the children of today, and the parents (the children of yesterday)             Aquitania2 reviews Sequentia BMG, 1997 A Trip to the World of Medieval Aquitania Aquitania was a rich part of the medieval world. It was the land of the troubadours and of the admirable liturgical chants. It was the world of the first medieval troubadour, Guilhelm IX, Duke of Aquitania and grandfather of Eleanor, the powerful queen. This CD evokes this legendary place, its myths and its art of the 12th century. All the CDs of Sequentia are marvellous. Words are not ...             Shine: The Complete Classics5 reviews Ludwig van Beethoven, Frederic Chopin, ... Philips, 1997 notwithstanding This is a wonderful collection of classical music. Liszt, Rachmaninoff, and Chopin pieces are featured with such an artistic interpretation. Notwithstanding the cut made in movement 3, Rafael Orozco's version of Rach3 touches your soul. And this is coming from a Vladimir Horowitz fan, and a pianist!             Tell Her I Love Her10 reviews Michael Amante, Charles Danvers, ... RCA Victor, 2003 wonderful Some of you may have read my review of his "operatic album" which I whole heartedly condemned as trash (which it is, since the music is so poorly sung and so badly interpreted), however, this is a reflection of the man and his voice doing what it should be doing. This man is NOT an opera singer and his fans should not for a moment think they are getting any understanding of opera when they listen ...             Mundo Lite11 reviews Aleks Syntek EMI Latin, 2004 One of the best musicians in Latin America This album is really mesmerizing. The music here is totally amazing, with a great sound athmosphere. Well balanced vocals, nice and well-chosen duets, gorgeous melodies... What else can you ask for? For you who don't speak Spanish, I suggest to take a Spanish-speaking friend with you while you listen to the album, so you can understand the lyrics, but once you have the idea, you'll know the ...             Este Mundo6 reviews Gipsy Kings Nonesuch, 1991 Music you have to dance to I find it impossible to sit still when I play this CD. Invariably, the rhythms have me up and dancing in seconds. And although my ability to understand Spanish is quite minimal, the vocalists present the message of each song so well and with great emotion that intuitively I find I understand the gyst of each song. If you like accoustic guitar, syncopated rhythms and vocalists that are obviously ...             Mundo31 reviews Ruben Blades Sony International, 2002 No es un clasico Ruben, pero esta buenisimo! No es un tipico disco de salsa del Nueva York de los 70 y ello parece incomodar a algunos puristas, ya que al parecer el senor Blades cometio el pecado de romper las etiquetas y se ha atrevido a explorar mas alla de un solo genero. El disco se llama MUNDO, y de entrada la cosa no podria estar mas clara. Con este disco, Blades ha demostrado que no solo es un excelente salsero, sino un gran musico ...             187: Music From The Motion Picture5 reviews Various Artists, John Heard, ... Icon/Atlantic, 1997 Great soundtrack; best use of trip-hop in a film. This soundtrack is really one that can only be appreciated by die hard trip-hoppers. That said, those unfamiliar with the genre will surely enjoy it just as well. The album follows the chronology of the film, beginning with Galliano's excellent "Slack Hands". The gospel-style chorus, acoustic guitar, and hip-hop drums open the album nicely. The soundtrack also features Massive Attack's ...             Las Mejores Canciones Del Mundo3 reviews Ricardo Montaner EMI Latin, 2007 COMO TODO LO QUE GRABA, EXCELENTE Ricardo Montaner tiene una magia, que todo lo que graba, ya sea compuesto por el o por otro, una vez lo graba, ten por seguro que será un éxito. No pudo darle un mejor titulo a este disco que LAS MEJORES CANCIONES DEL MUNDO, porque sí fueron las mejores, pero una vez interpretadas por él, no sólo te transportas al pasado, sino que Ricardo hace muy de él estas versiones. No se van a arrepentir ...             Ostinato4 reviews English Anonymous, Francisco Correa de Arauxo, ... Alia Vox Spain, 2002 Excellent, as usual I have heard all of the Alia Vox releases and am hard pressed to recommend one over the other. "Ostinato" can proudly stand alongside the earlier releases; it's absolutely terrific with ingenious arrangements and more than exciting performances. My only complaint concerns Pachelbel's Kanon and Gigue. Perhaps I'm overly critical due to the overexposure this piece has been subjected in the last ...              search for popular music adagios, aniversario, aquitania, baroque, beautiful, beauty, canciones, cantatas, classics, complete, dominus, dreamers, dreams, equivoca, gloria, hogwood, kirkby, mariachi, mejores, mexicanas, ostinato, paquete, pasodobles, picture, preston, rhythms, sincera, topo-gigio, vivaldi, watkinson popular music:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
