A good introduction for those who are not purists!.......2007-06-20

Unfortunately, the great Silvio Rodríguez is virtually unknown outside the Spanish-speaking world. Aware of that, I've recently started giving presents of this sampler to friends who have never heard of him, . . . and some of them have subsequently gone on to buy one or another of his classic albums. Of course, no compilation could ever do justice to the wide range of his oeuvre, but this gem of a collection is a good start for those who otherwise might never be aware of this great genius.

A good CD to start listening Silvio Rodriguez.......2006-08-12

I have many CD from Silvio Rodriguez. If you are like me, we both don't need a review. Looking at song listing is enough to know. Buy, if you are looking for only one Silvio Rodriguez's CD, i recommend this one. Many people only want a single CD from an artist, others want star with one, and after a while, return for more. In both cases, this CD is for them.

I recomend pass reviews below for people who are looking for 5 or 6 CD from Silvio Rodriguez. After all, probably if you are one from those, you already have this CD. Finally, pass reviews forget to mention "Días y Flores", it is a "must to have" CD in a Silvio Rodriguez basic colection.

"Silvio Light".......2006-02-21

I have to agree wholeheartedly with the review of this CD by Antonio Rioseco. This CD is for marketing Silvio to the gringo. It has the 'de rigueur' revolutionary songs like " Cancion urgente para Nicaragua" & "Playa Giron" but it is far from the essence of this singer/songwriter. I suggest exploring his triptychs (Triptico 1, 2, 3 and Silvio, Rodriguez and Dominguez). My favorites are the second ones in each series (Triptico 2 y Rodriguez) which include some of his best poems put to music. I love "Llover sobre mojado" & "El tiempo esta a favor de los pequenos" and Rodriguez's "Casiopea". So don't go for the Silvio Light go for something more filling.

Sólo punto de partida.......2005-11-03

Esta compilación puede considerarse como un punto de partida, pero no el mejor, ni el más representativo. Este disco está enfocado al mundo angloparlante, por lo que las canciones que contiene dan cuenta más de la música cubana que de las líricas de Silvio, las que la mayoría de las veces van acompañadas unicamente de guitarra acústicas y con ritmos sencillos.
Sin embargo es una buena forma de acercar a quienes no hablan nuestro idioma al increíble universo musical de Rodríguez. Además la edición es muy buena, y contiene las letras en ambas lenguas y con una biografía del trovador.

Don't buy this one.......2005-10-06

Cuban "trova" music has suffered a lot because of the compilations. They tend to reduce the music to "hits". And this compilation represents that manipulation (I dont care if it comes from Byrne or whatever) for Silvio Rodriguez music. If you want to really enjoy Rodriguez begin by his old albums (Al final de este viaje, Unicornio, Mujeres, etc). You can follow to the 80s big albums (especially "Triptico"), and then probably you will like to try the 90s solo work ("Silvio", "Rodriguez", "Dominguez") Trova is not about hits. Get the albums. Dont by this one, you will loose your money.

Prepare to Be Mesmerized .......2006-09-23

I was given this album by a friend. I'm not a connoisseur of international music, but I must say I was instantly captivated by this musical compilation. The songs have a catchy, relaxing quality to them.

still love it after 15+ years.......2006-03-29

I bought the original about 15 years ago in cassette tape form
(yeah, I am getting older:). Even though I agree that Byrnes should have updated it with younger and more current artists, these classic songs still move me.

This disc introduced me to Brazil.......2006-03-16

What a great CD. I have all of Byrnes Brazilian discs and wish he would issue more. He really captured what makes Brazilian music great with his first three discs in this series. Still, this one is really special. The fourth and fifth disc in this series are dedicated to the artist Tom Ze who is brilliant in his own weird way. This first disc makes you just want to dance all over your living room. I wish Byrne would release more. Of course I now have a lot of the cds by the original artists, but this is the one that hooked me. Buy and enjoy.

Not a New CD.......2005-03-29

Why continue to recycle a CD that is now roughly sixteen years out of date? Yes, it is a great compilation, or, at least, it was in 1989, but times have changed. Maybe somebody should talk Byrne into updating this CD once again, as he did in 1999, with a new compilation or two or six. There are about a score of styles and literally dozens of artists in Brazil who deserve recognition for the music that they are making now. And it is somehow odd that while there is not exactly a shortage of Brazilian compilations out there, most of those efforts have a regretable tendency to recycle yesterday's headliners. How about a fresh compilation that includes such diverse artists as Djavan, Cibelle, Autoramas, Silvia Torres, Monica Salmaso, Carlinhos Brown, Vinicius Cantuaria, Helena, Trio Da Paz, Charlie Brown Jr, Rita Ribeiro, Fernanda Porto, Seu Jorge, and about, oh, fifty others. All are interesting artists making incredible music, and all are making that great music in the 21st century.

one of my desert island CDs.......2004-10-12

I've owned this CD for over ten years and it remains one of my favorites. The Brazilian music featured here manages to be both instantly accessable and yet at the same time exotic and new, from the stripped-down funkiness of "Ponta de Lança Africano" to the majestic "Equatorial" to the melancholy harmonies on "Fio Maravilha." I suppose the reason for this is the fact that these artists grew up immersed in their rich musical traditions, but at the same time they were exposed to the music of the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, James Brown, etc. I don't like most of what falls under the "world music" umbrella, but this collection really hits the spot for me.

Also worth mentioning are the excellent liner notes and bilingual lyrics. Honestly, my only complaint is that this CD inspired me to go out and look for more Brazilian music but I've been unable to find anything else that I loved as much as this.

Latin-American maestros at their very best.......1999-09-09

This recording brings the music of great composers from Mexico,Brazil,and Argentina.The Huapango by Moncayo is played beautiful and a well performed solo for trumpet and trombone.Sensemaya is played with virtuosity."Estrllita" is the best known of all Mexican song here arrenged for strings is very charming.The "Trezinho do Caipira" by Villa-Lobos is performed here to great effect by the orchestra and its percussion section.The Obertura Festiva by Halfter is performed with grace.Galindo's "Sones Macriachi" is also a piece where a mariachi gorup is immitated also to great effect by the orchestra and I think that Mr.Galindo captured the spirit of Mexico very well here.Its a great recording.Thank you Naxos... Well done Mr. Batiz

Exquisite Performance.......1999-08-03

Batiz does a magnificent job, especially with respect to Huapango. The orchestra is full and vibrant. As a brass player (trumpet), I listen especially close to this section of the orchestra. I must say that the brass met my expectations: they have great volume and lose neither control nor focus on fortissimo passages. All instruments with solo parts do an excellent job of finding a balance between projecting their sound and maintaining musicality. The trumpets in particular possess that "sizzling" or vibrating quality which characterizes the better players.

Love it!.......2007-03-09

I purchased this CD because my husband is learning to play the guitar and I thought I'd give this one a try! What a wonderful surprise, I absolutely loved this CD. We play it over and over again and never get sick of it. It's slow and romantic, very easy listening. If you really like this CD and plan on buying Volume 2, I wouldn't recommend Volume 2, it has a much faster beat and honestly Volume 2 is definately not calm and soothing, very different from this one.

Really soothing!.......2006-08-23

I am new to this genre of music. The music on this CD is slow paced and I find the selections familiar, romantic and relaxing. I listen to it over and over again.

Calm and Relaxing!.......2001-05-13

Warning: These aren't fast paced spicy spanish guitar pieces. They are slower, more romantic songs. I really enjoy this CD (Which is strange because of my other musical tastes) and I still listen to it when I feel stressed. Just pop this CD in, pour yourself a cold drink, and the music will make you think of romantic Spanish nights.

Just got it and already it's one of my favorites!.......2001-03-09

This is a great CD for fans of classic Spanish guitar. Even if you aren't familiar with the genre, you will recognze a number of the pieces. FYI: this is not a fast, spicy Latin CD, but a slower and more introspective one, generally with only one guitar and no other instruments. It is ideal for people who want some peaceful and pleasant Spanish atmosphere music.

Silvio El Grande.......2004-02-15

Silvio como siempre no hay cantante como tu que exprese sus sentimientos, en la musica mi hermano sigue pa' lante , por ti por cuba y fidel

Silvio is one of the best en todo el mundo..........2003-01-25

People from the United States (such as myself) need desperately to listen to music from around the world. Musically, we're a very isolated country. The burgeoning latino population has helped, but the music still somehow remains in the background, there for people who are looking to discover something new, but not for the public at large. Why Silvio Rodriguez is not played on most radio stations in the United States can only be explained by our monolingual culture and maybe xenophobia.

This CD shows that the Spanish speaking world has created some of the world's best music. If we've missed it because we're afraid of non-English lyrics, it's entirely our own loss.

If you haven't heard Silvio Rodriguez, then you are missing out. He is one of the best. His name is known everywhere south of the Rio Grande, and it's not hard to figure out why. This CD showcases some incredible music and lyrics and tells bits of his story. The guitar playing and singing are amazing. Some tracks are more produced than others. Some feature stark productions with guitar, voice and some rhythm instruments ("Sueño con Serpientes", "La Maza", "Playa Girón"). Others feature a wall of horns or strings or both ("Sueño de una noche de verano", "Como Esperando Abril", "Canto Arena"). All of them are great songs.

I've had this CD for years, and it has not fallen from prominence in my CD rotation. Silvio Rodriguez is still recording and going strong. If you're going to take a chance and listen to something new, unique and not in english, take a chance on this one. It could open up a new world to you.

It was my introduction to Silvio's music some years ago.......2002-01-07

I bought this production 4 years ago just because somebody recommended Silvio's music to me. This was the first of him that I saw so I decided to buy it, and it was one of the biggest musical discoveries of my life. I got traped since the very fist song Sueño de una noche de Verano, and one of its phrases "Si dicen que fui hecho para soñar el sol, y decir cosas que despierten amor, ¿cómo es posible, entonces, que duerma entre llantos de angustia y horror?.
Playa Giron, Unicornio, Oh Melancolia, Causas y Azares, there are many masterpieces in this cd.
But I have to tell something you must know and you must never forget. This is not a "greatest hits" production, this is only a selection of songs. Don't think that if you buy this cd you will have Silvio, you will have a minimal part of Silvio, I made that mistake.
This is a great introductory cd to the magnificent music of Silvio, but you should look for many more songs like Ojala, Por quien merece amor, Ya no te espero, Del sueño a la poesía, and many more. I have hundreds of songs of Silvio, and theres more to discover, Im sure.
Keep discovering Silvio Rodriguez, it could be one of the biggest discoveries in your life too.
Good Luck!

EL DELEITE DE LA MUSICA LATINOAMERICANA.......2001-08-20

ESTE CD ES UN COMPENDIO DE LOS GRANDES TEMAS DE ESTE GRAN SENOR DE LA MUSICA,NO SE LE PUEDE MENCIONAR D OTRO FORMA,ME ENCANTA SU MUSICA SU LETRA Y LA FORMA DE EXPRESAR PARA NOSOTROS SUS FANS,SU VERDAD Y LA NUESTRA,MUCHOS DE NOSOTROS NOS QUITAMOS EL SOMBRERO PARA DARNOS EL GUSTO Y EL PLACER DE SER UNOS ESUCHAS DE MI QUERIDO SILVIO, GRACIAS.

Muestra de un poco de lo mejor de Don Silvio..........1999-11-23

Un disco que resume en varias canciones lo mejor de la nueva trova Cubana. Silvio, sin duda es uno de los mejores, sin menospresiar a Don Pablo que es el nectar a los oidos de los amantes de la nueva trova.
