Fabulous.......2005-10-23

This DVD is spectacular. Andre Rieu is absolutely fascinating to listen to and the costumes of the orchestra as gorgeous. Well worth every penny.

Andre Rieu "Fiesta".......2005-09-20

This CD is absolutely fantastic. There is no musician quite like Andre Rieu. His music does indeed lift the spirit.

Fiesta.......2005-09-12

The music lifts my spirits! It is fun and lighthearted. I sincerely recommend this CD by Andre Rieu.

Not the best versions available.......2002-02-12

First of all, why call this recording
"Fiesta"? only for the first four latin-american
works? because the rest of the cd is of
German music.I you want a real "Fiesta"
disc, I recomendation is that disc
of Keith Lockhart, is much more fun and
much more in a fiesta spirit than this one.

This is a great album!.......2002-01-02

I highly recommend this album. Andre Rieu is a great violinist. If you buy this album you will not be dissappointed. I'd give it ten stars if I could.

Customer Reviews:

What's good here is great!.......2007-07-24

I'm a huge Pearl Bailey fan, so I am glad just to have a cd with 25 of her songs on it. And this is a very uneven mix. (If you don't really know her that well, buy For Adults or the Very Best of first, as they are better introductions to her true talent.) Some of the songs are so-so at best, but the good songs ("Legalize My Name," "Saturday Night Fish Fry," "Row, Row, Row" chief among them) are great fun to listen to. She does a great read of a couple of classics, like "Ain't She Sweet?" and "As Long as I Live," and her give-and-take with Frank Sinatra on "A Little Learnin' is a Dangerous Thing" is PRICELESS Pearl Bailey, as well as a great chance to hear Frank Sinatra have a little fun. It is this duet that bumps my rating from 3 to 4 stars and it, in my opinion, is worth the price of the cd if you're a P.B. fan!

If you like the Tango Project's first CD, you'll like this one too. Not as many instantly recognisable tango classics but the same sound & feel. No doubt the purists will object - more "tea dance" than "oppressed urban Argentinian passion"! - but I could still dance the afternoon away with Al Pacino to this CD!!!

A Magical Musical Journey Around the World with Mantovani........2005-02-23

The soaring strings of the original orchestra led by the late great Mantovani are once again presented in this brand new Vocalion release of two of the maestro's masterpiece recordings first released in 1964 (Folk Songs) and 1968 (Tango). Folk Songs from Around the World will charm and excite listeners with melodies as diverse as Aura Lee (what Elvis sang as Love Me Tender) and the sizzling sounds of Hava Nagila. The highly disciplined orchestra under the baton of Mantovani perform spectacular arrangements of "Two Guitars" from Russia and folk songs from Japan, Europe,and the British Isles arranged with such artistry that they will readily evoke from each listener intense emotions. The splendid orchestrations found on the Tango tracks also evoke a variety of emotions, with Whatever Lola Wants, Hernando's Hideaway and Takes Two to Tango, offering playful amusement, and such tracks as Blue Sky, Orange Vendor, and Tango Delle Rose combining captivating tango rhythms with time honored melodies made ever more delightful by the unique, cathedral sound identified exclusively with Mantovani. In an interview at the time of the Tango album's release, the ever perfectionist Mantovani expressed his delight with the musical outcome,noting that he tried "blending fine melodies with exciting rhythms to produce a sound that is stimulating.." Acquire this two CD-set, and new and old Mantovani fans will know the maestro was right on the mark in his assessment of this incomparable musical journey.

Customer Reviews:

Never mind the gay, just enjoy the music.......2005-01-18

If you are dubious about the "gayness" of this music, no worries! So are most of the composers on this disc. Strangely, despite the premise of the collection, in the liner notes most deny their music is "gay," even if their lives are. Aside from the Whitman texts and a few other hints, you would be hard pressed to hear anything here but beautiful 20th cen. American music. And it is a beautiful selection, nice especially for the inclusion of lesser known young composers along with Rorem and Harrison.

20th Century Composers OUT on the Town.......2002-09-26

...Of the composers of note during the last 100 years or so (here in America) the vast majority of them are/were gay. This disc, with it's companion Volume 2 are a way to step into the gay sensibility a bit...

Well, I defy anyone to listen to Walt Whitman in 1989, by the late Chris De Blasio and have them tell me that isn't the heart-rendering cry of a gay man for his dying generation.

I don't want to give the impression that this disc is a downer. It isn't. But it is defiantly gay. Painfully beautiful, and at times downright challenging. Buy it. Stick it in you drive, and luxuriate in the fabulousness (and I don't use the "F" word lightly).

Art at its best!!.......2001-06-06

Absolutely wonderful music! I recommend this recording highly! The most moving works represented were provided by Philadelphia composer Robert Maggio and New Yorker Lee Hoiby.

Good Taste in Performance.......2000-04-29

Nancy Zeltsman's performance of the works on Woodcuts is exemplary. She demonstrates stunning musical playing and many of the pieces on the disc deserve such attention: Opening Day, Merlin, Woodcuts, Gypsy (arguably better than S. Vega's original) among others are fine pieces of music.

There are some less successful tracks though - the Tango Suite (over 3 tracks) is average and VERY long. There is a very broad range of material and as such won't please all tastes.

But this is still a beautiful album, cetainly worth owning if only for the wonderful sound that Nancy Z. produces.

The Queen of Marimba Reigns Supreme.......2000-02-08

NAncy Zeltsman deserves the title of Queen of Marimba. She pulls emotion from the instrument like water flowing through a stream. Her technique is amazing and her sound is sweet and gentle, but harsh when needed. This album is by far one of the best marimba albums ever recorded. Her arrangement of Susan Vega's Gypsy is worth the price of the CD alone. NO ONE SHOULD BE WITHOUT THIS RECORDING.
