El Espirito.......2006-04-08

I'm a Gringo. I don't even speak Spanish. I have a bunch of German friends that made me listen to these guys when I was visiting in 1993. I have to admit, I was hooked by the Heroes.

Any fan of real rock music--you know, with driving guitars; a throbbing, heartfelt vocalist; and that beat that makes you shake your ass--will completely appreciate this album.

People may label it Spanish Rock. I'm here to tell you it transcends nationality and language. It is Rock N Roll and you shouldn't miss out on the experience. Get it.

Viva Los Heroes del Silencio!

Great Album and Great Combination of Multiple Rock Styles.......2005-11-07

I think this album is the soul of HS where they combined multiple musical styles and confirmed they are one of the most important bands in the history of Rock in Spanish.

POWERFUL SPANISH ROCK FROM THE GREATEST HEROES.......2005-04-05

I am a big Heroes del SIlencio Fan, I have all their albums and each one of them have their own unique sound, they're all great! But this one, El Espiritu Del Vino, is the most powerful and rocking album of the band, each song is a masterpiece, the lyrics are poetry full of wrath, love, dispair, obssesion, sensuality, beautiness, passion...they simple blow your mind.

Bendecida (oh my god!!!!!! my favorite!!), El camino del exceso and La apariencia no es sincera are my favorites ones, I just can't explain you the energy they gives to me each time I sing them! Enrique Bunbury's voice simply gets you high and Juan Valdivia's guitar work is just amazing, also Pedro Andreu (drums) and Joaquin Cardiel (bass).

I can say this album is a great contribution to the spanish rock, maybe more than other albums from other bands, leaving without doubt tha Heroes Del Silencio really rocks hard in this one.

You have to buy this CD to know what I'm talking about, the finest spanish rock!! are you ready to blow your mind??

QUE VIVA SIEMPRE HEROES!!

you should buy this even if you don't speak spanish!.......2004-09-28

sometimes I even fell sorry for the people who don't speak
spanish because they are really missing this band.

I discovered this band like 10 years ago back in my country
because I cousin told me about them and believe me I haven't
heard anything better since then (in spanish rock).
the singer is just amazing, the guitar player WOW!! he's my
third favorite guitar player ever, he is awesome and belive me
because I play guitar too.
This band a great melody in thir music so if you like melodic stuff believe me this is great, really amazing solos on guitar.

there is also a copilation out with their best material and it's good if you wan't to know the band but you know what?
they only have 4 albums and 1 of unrelease material called
RAREZEAS which is great also, so my point is: all their albums
are f**king amazing so I don't think you'll need that copilation.

so again I highly recomment this band you can't start with any album, I'll write them down for you:

EL MAR NO CESA
EL ESPIRITU DEL VINO
SENDEROS DE TRAICION
AVALANCHA
RAREZAS(UNREALEASE MATERIAL)

SO THERE YOU GO!!

Magistral.......2004-07-09

Primero que nada, no soy aficionado a la música en español y por una mera casualidad llego esta album a mis manos, el primer disco de rock en español que haya tenido, termine oyéndolo 360 veces en un año, prácticamente todos los dias.
La razón: mas allá de la estupenda voz de Enrique Bunbury hay un increíble trabajo en las letras, cargadas de ideas y con una sorprendente profundidad, cada tema esta hecho con sumo cuidado sin caer en conceptos vanales o frases que riman de forma fácil para quedar pegadas en el oído.
Y es que el mérito de El espiritu del vino, es que se queda grabado en el oido no por lo bien que suena sino por el notable perfeccionismo que denota cada canción, ajeno a esa abominable sed de vender que tiene muchos cantantes y grupos en español, que sacrifican todo por algo pegajoso pero tremendamente vanal.
Lo mejor de todo es que HDS no solo confirma su nivel de profesionalismo y verdadera dedicación en este trabajo sino tambien deja el camino abierto para su siguiente album que terminó siendo un digno sucesor de este.
Un disco que deberia estar considerado entre los mejores del rock universal.

This is the very best.......2007-01-25

Unless, you are as crazy as I am about Bjorling and willing to buy everything available anyway, this is the collection to purchase.

It includes the best of all the other compilations. The sound is very clean: much better than some of the records that I have with the same material.

The French stuff is wonderful -- especially Le Reve. There is something so melancholic about his voice. He doesn't need to act or add anything phony. As soon as he opens his mouth, you know this story is not going to end well.

The collection covers more than 20 years. It's amazing that the voice changed so little. His voice lost none of it beauty or power over the years.

Best Beethoven Adeliade ever. What a pity he never recorded any Schubert song cycles.

My God, this collection even includes Adam's Julsang -- which as far as I know existed only in a Swedish RCA 33 rpm. You will never think of "Oh, Holy Night" the same way again.

If you have not listened to Bjorling before, you will never think of some other famous tenors the same way either.

And a bargain. Two disks for $17? Start here.

This set tells you why Jussi Bjorling is a perennial entrant in the "Tenor of the Century" sweepstakes. Even as the voice darkens from the light lyric to the full, darker instrument of the later recordings, we hear a singer whose elegant style, lovely timbre and innate musicality touch the heart. Many of the selections are sung in Swedish, less of a liability than you might suppose. In whatever language, Bjorling's molten gold flows lavishly. He eschews the sobs and sentimentality that disfigure so much verismo repertory, making his points with stylish vocalism. He's been called a "cool" singer, but try his Puccini and Verdi arias on Disc One and you'll find more than enough vocal and emotional heat. The selections include many neglected Scandinavian songs, sung, like the arias, with a naturalness that disarms criticism. -- Dan Davis

Amazon.com

Swedish tenor Jussi Björling gets many votes for the distinction of greatest all-time tenor. Up to the end, the voice projected a boyish vulnerability, though he also had enough stentorian power to sing the heavy Puccini roles and was ready to take on Lohengrin when he died. He was so deeply musical he eschewed the usual tenor vulgarity without ever slighting the music's theatricality. Even these four well-filled discs of arias and songs can't fully encompass the vocal riches he left behind, but there's a lot here, much of it from his earliest years and (hope you don't mind) sung in a Swedish translation. --David Patrick Stearns

Customer Reviews:

Superb!.......2001-07-29

This is an wonderful compilation of one of the most incredible voices on record. Whether you are a new or old Bjorling fan -- and who could hear that voice and not be enthralled by it -- this is a fine CD to have. The quality of the recording is excellent, and the range in years, from 1930 to 1959, gives a splendid overview of his dazzling talent. In addition to many of the arias one might expect, there are also lieder and songs in Swedish, as well as some charming duets with Jussi's wife, Anna-Lisa. I have quite a few other Bjorling CDs, and this is one of the best in terms of quality and scope. It is a most worthy addition to any Bjorling collection, regardless of its size.

Beatiful singing - but where are the Swedish texts?.......2001-06-22

This is an excellent collection, the best available overview of a great tenor.

This would get 4 stars but has been marked down for only supplying token texts and translations in the large booklet. It is understandable (sort of) that the Italian opera excerpts don't merit texts and translations as (apart from the Callas recitals series) EMI generally doesn't provide texts with historical issues. However the tempting inclusion of a dozen or so texts to the Italian and Swedish songs makes one all the more aware of the miserliness of not providing all the texts.

if you like bjorling this is the best thing you can get!.......2000-06-26

this is so awesome, i love his voice, this is good for anyone, the professional or just someone who wants to hear the greatest tenor of all times! this is so great

The ULTIMATE Collection.......1999-11-02

When starting my Bjorling collection, I saw MANY CDs, with his early recordings. I was in a quandry as to what to buy, UNTIL I found this set. TRULY remarkable in many levels.FIRST and foremost, the voice. Captured in all levels, from the earliest to the latest. Truly wonderful, and the Swedish versions are a real treat to hear, don't worry, the Italian versions are here too!!Secondly, the remastering process. This set was remastered at Abbey Studios in London. For the first time I've heard, they actually pressed NEW 78s from the metal plates, and THEN remastered the new discs!!! Inspired, and the results--incredible.I find myself listening to Disc 3 the most. Very interesting, as it is the Swedish one. When the songs are terrific, along with the "standard" tenor arias, and it all comes together, it is PURE MAGIC!! I will admit that due to time limitations of recordings of this era, the opera house Bjorling is not fully conveyed. There are other CDs for that. Most notably "Romeo and Juliet", and for a REAL thrill, his ATLANTA concert, in STEREO, so much so, that the piano is even divided; left hand left, right hand right. Wait a minute, am I playing TWISTER??:-)) But if you want to skip all those unknown labels, you couldn't have a MORE complete set. ALL wit the great remastering I spoke of. Bjorling--His voice will NEVER die, at least in MY house!!!

Definitive survey of one of the finest singers on record.......1998-09-25

Jussi Bjoerling was one of the greatest singers of the century. His voice is pure, effortless and yet thrilling. Even better than the quality of the voice is his style. He never scoops up to a note nor does he ever whoop down from one, instead, he uses perfect legato and faultless intonation to deliver the cleanest sound you'll ever hear from a tenor.

This collection, from the large set of EMI recordings, provides a wonderful survey of Bjoerling's career. He was a straight 'spinto' tenor, that is, between a lyrical tenor (like Pavarotti) and a dramatic tenor (like Domingo). Most of the Puccini roles demand a spinto and those are the roles that Bjoerling was unbeatable in (particularly Des Grieux in Manon Lescaut). However, I think I most prize this collection for the songs sung in English on the last disc. I had some of them on a cassette I wore out in the car and others on a vinyl disc I wore out at home. For shear beauty of voice, the Berceuse by Jocelyn is stunning. For perfect diction, intonation and style, Love but a Day is breathtaking. Buy this set and I guarantee you'll fall in love with what many think is the finest voice on record.

The Mastersinger.......2000-06-24

If the second half of the 20th Century has musical signs, they must include that phenomenal German singer Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau who dominated the recital and concert halls, the opera stages and the recording studios in a way no other artist has done it, except maybe Leonard Bernstein. In celebration of this great artist's 75th birthday we have here a set which includes the gems of his lieder repertoire, starting with those great Schubert cycles in their most vivid performances. Just listen to those early renditions of the Schone Mullerin or with Jorg Demus, or to Schuman's Dichterliebe cycle (with the same pianist). And you shall not miss the artistry of this most sensitive voice in full volume of Mahler lieder with piano and orchestral songs. And what about the Morike lieder by Hugo Wolf? Well, you shall probably wonder at that special cooperation between the singer and the Russian pianist Svitoslav Richter. It is a performance of lifetime, and so it is with the Wintereise of Schubert with Barnboim at the piano. Those who know the artistry of Fischer-Dieskau and even those who have already other recordings of those great works will not regret having this special set. For the newcomers to this great artist there will be a lot to discover, The music itself, sure, but mainly the art of interpratation. In this alone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau shine high and above all other singers.

Jussi Björling was one of the strongest and steeliest lyric tenors of the 20th century, as famous for his Rodolfo in La Boheme as he was for his Calaf in Turandot. This superbly engineered survey of his early career takes us from 1936 to 1948, and covers, for the most part, his standard repertoire of French and Italian music--extracts from Aida and from Faust, and from both Massenet's Manon and Puccini's Manon Lescaut. He was a singer equally at home with the elegances of bel canto and with the passionate sorrows of verismo--he is particularly fine in "Vesti la guibbia" from Leoncavallo's Pagliacci. Björling was always going to have to struggle to make this repertoire his own--much of his early audience had heard Caruso. What Björling brought to his roles was a superb theatricality and a capacity for thoughtful passion; amid the lyricism, you also always remembered that his heroes were for the most part tough guys. --Roz Kaveney

best of bjorling.......2004-07-20

bjorling was in his prime in the 1940's, when most of these arias were recorded. the top register was still warm and full, and had no sign of the hardening that started to creep into his voice in the 50's. so these are truly the 'best of', sound quality notwithstanding. naxos has done an excellent job remastering these tracks. at this price, this is a must have for fans of good singing.

Bravo Bjorling!.......2002-01-12

As a member of the first generation of opera lover's to know Bjorling's voice only by recordings I urge everyone to treat themselves to this. The power, accuracy and youthful sparkle of his voice are gloriously evident on this remaster. Think of Pavorotti, Corelli and the other Mediterranian masters as sunshine, with warm undertones i think of Jussi's voice as moonlight, cool undertones of the North. Knowing of his struggles with depression and/or alcoholism makes the sound even more poignant. The opera world lost a treasure far too soon.

Bjorling's voice shines in this outstanding remastering.......2001-12-09

Jussi Bjorling was one of the greatest tenors of the last century; many would place him in the top three, along with Caruso and Gigli. This CD contains some of the most familiar arias of the Italian and French repertoire, all sung with a style and controlled passion that was Bjorling's hallmark.

These recordings are from the 1930s and 40s, but the sound is remarkably good for that time. I have an earlier EMI remastering of most of these same recordings, but the sound on Naxos is so far superior that there's really no comparison. The engineer eliminated the worst of the surface noise, but did nothing to restrict the high end, so that the listener can hear this wonderful voice in all its beauty.

There's an excellent 2-CD Bjorling set on RCA/BMG, made from different masters with better sonics, but these earlier recordings captured his voice at a younger age and are indispensible. Naxos's super-bargain price should convince any wavering Bjorling fan who already owns the EMI versions of these recordings.

One of the greatest of all time!.......2001-09-19

Just a short review, since so many others have said it better; Jussi Bjoerling had a sweet lyric-spinto tenor voice, which he used with taste and excitement. If you love Pavarotti and Bocelli, and you haven't heard Bjoerling, you are missing something.

The transfers are excellent. The sound is what you might expect from the thirties and forties, but the voice is clear and undistorted.

Bjoerling's sound was something like Pavarotti's, with a little more concentration of tone and a slightly sweeter sound. His talents with diminuendos can be heard to excellent effect on the Dream (Reve) aria from Massenet's Manon. Bjoerling had a ravishing pianissimo; sweet, smooth, and concentrated, yet unforced.

One of Jussi Bjoerling's finest roles was Rodolfo in Puccini's La Boheme and Pinkerton in Madam Butterfly. The former was sung under the able leadership of Sir Thomas Beecham, with Victoria de los Angeles and is justly acclaimed as a classic. The latter was one of his latest recordings, made close to his death, but the sounds he made! The singing on this album is absolutely stunning.

Highly recommended for all those who love great voices...

The most beautiful sound in the world........2001-02-01

Bjorling began recording arias from the Italian and French repertory, in their original language, in 1936. At the age of 25 he had just launched his international career. These records immediately became best sellers, they have been reissued countless times since, and now they feature on this budget-priced CD from Naxos, in restorations engineered by Mark Obert-Thorn - no less.

All recordings were made between 1936 and 1948 in the same venue in Stockholm. The conductor was always Nils Grevillius, a compatriot who judged Bjorling's voice to be "the most beautiful sound in the world". I too had a similar thought when I heard Bjorling sing in London.

It was Bjorling who top-scored in a recent survey conducted amongst a panel of music critics who were asked, "Which singers of the C20th do you think best deserve to be remembered?" When I add that the singing in the last track, "Nessun dorma" is some of the most thrilling I have ever heard, you will have more than enough reasons for adding this to your trolley.

This spectacular collection of more than 90 arias sung by 46 of the greatest singers of the century consists of recordings made between 1906 and 1943. Naturally, they are in far from high fidelity, but this is more charming than disturbing. And all the greats are here: from the tenors Enrico Caruso, Beniamino Gigli, John McCormack, and Jussi Bjoerlong, to the sopranos Rosa Ponselle, Amelita Galli-Curci, Claudia Muzio, and Kirsten Flagstad, to mezzos Conchita Supervia and Ernestine Schumann-Heink, to baritones Giuseppe de Luca and Mattia Battistini, and basses Ezio Pinza and Feodor Chaliapin--to mention a few. The six and a half hours of listening is a veritable primer in Grand Opera; a short synopsis of each selection is included. This set lives up to its name--it is indeed a treasury. --Robert Levine

A primer of great singing.......2006-11-07

The Prima Voce Treasury of Opera Vol 1 contains arias and a few duets from operas A- M ( Adriana Lecouvreur- Manon)sung by singers of the first half of the 20th Century. Vol 2 continues with excerpts from operas M-Z ( Manon Lescaut - Die Zauberflote).All the tracks are taken from the Nimbus Prima Voce catalogue, using their controversial re-recording technique, which many people dislike for the over reverberant sound.Personally, I find the transfers more acceptable than the strident, edgy transfers of some other companies.

Opinion about any compilation of this sort is a personal matter. I find the choice of singers predictable and unimaginative and at times rather strange: Lauri-Volpi is not a representative Don Jose nor Faust for example.Overall though the standard of singing is very high.

The accompanying booklet contains well written potted biographies of the singers featured on the CDs.

This compilation is a very good primer of great singing from the past for someone starting out in this field but not for anyone who is already steeped in historic recordings, except perhaps to listen to in the car, which is what I bought it and Vol2 for.

Outstanding.......2001-09-12

As it happened, I bought Vol. 2 of this collection before Vol. 1, and everything I said in my review of Vol. 2 applies equally here. The breadth and depth of the operas and the singers are incredible, and the price for 6 CDs is an amazing bargain. The sound is remarkable, especially considering that some of the recordings are nearly 100 years old, though most are from the 20s and 30s. Highly recommended, whether you are new to opera or a seasoned veteran!

A collection made with taste and savvy.......2001-03-10

The English just know how to do things in good taste and I must say, the elements of this Prima Voce collection have been carefully selected and arranged. Arias are grouped so that you have two or three from the same opera together. This is a sensible arrangement and each singer selected for those particular arias is one who sings it very well and in a unique way. I had already been collecting single singer albums from Prima Voce when I discovered this Treasury compilation and wish now I had bought it first, because you get a good sampling of all the great singers in their catalog and will hear artists of whom you may not have been aware. From this Treasury collection you will hear singers that especially please your ear and then you might buy albums just of them. For me, this set confirmed those choices of favorites such as Claudia Muzio and Tito Schipa. Best of all, the six CDs make for a pleasing listening experience as a whole. I listen to them while I drive. There aren't any bad performances here and quite frankly there are few contemporary artists that can match or top these. It's a great way to establish an historical foundation for your recordings if you are building a collection of singers.

One of the Great Bargains.......2000-06-23

This is one of those rare bargains that one dreams about. I discovered it while browsing and I could not believe that one could have six disks for less than the normal cost of two. Nor is this an economy issue, transferred from what I assume is original pirate recordings along the lines of Gala and Opera d'Oro and even Myto. The transfers are clean and the collection is nonpareil. In all transfers I miss texts. But the music itself is glorious, the selection intelligent, and the artists the stars of the opera world. Unlike other collections arranged in chronological order, these use a simple alphabetic sequence of operas, so one can follow in one's own libretto or score more easily. The recordings appear to bridge the two world wars. If this is indeed volume one, I cannot wait for two.

Few singers have done so much with so little. Tito Schipa's voice was notoriously short; he routinely transposed pieces with high tessitura and bottom notes were a stretch. But what a middle! The sheer sound of his lyric tenor can send shivers down your spine. This collection, comprising his complete recordings for the Gramophone and Pathe companies made between 1913 and 1921, demonstrates the vocal freedom and melting lyricism of the young Schipa. The selections are infused with charming elegance of timbre and phrasing. The songs are icing on a cake topped with such cherries as a ravishing "Cielo e mar," honeyed Tosca arias, and much else. Marston's superb transfers make these acoustic recordings sound like much later electricals. --Dan Davis
