She was famous as both artist and model, infamous as political revolutionary and social libertine, and Frida Kahlo's controversial life couldn't help but seem the stuff of great musical theater. Her story is brought to the screen by director Julie Taymor, whose musical compatriot here is also her husband; Elliot Goldenthal, student of both Copland and Corigliani, shrewdly sublimates his modernism in service of the rich, evocative music and songs of Mexico and Central America. Utilizing performers that range from the contemporary (Lila Downs) to the folk-classic (Costa Rican legend Chavela Vargas; Brazilian star Caetano Veloso) and traditional (Los Cojolites, El Poder Del Norte, Trio Huasteca, Caimanes de Tanquin, and others), Goldenthal generously displays the true breadth of Mexican folk music, while seamlessly infusing it with the minimalist corners of his own underscore and some winning songwriting of his own. The result is one of 2002's most compelling soundtracks. The enhanced CD features include musical film excerpts, as well as a video conversation between Goldenthal and star Salma Hayek and text interviews with the composer and director Taymor. --Jerry McCulleyCustomer Reviews:

However, I was enraptured by the story of Frida and the amazing performance (no wonder she was oscar nominated).
I bought the soundtrack the next morning. It really got to me.This is a great soundtrack and, yes, it does help if you have seen the movie but not necessary. I loved the latin passion (highs and lows). Chervala Vargas as Elliot Goldenthal describes in the slieve was once Frida's lover. I loved her Paloma Negra. So powerful.
There is something for everyone in this long soundtrack.
Do as i have: watch the movie and buy the soundtrack. Worth the time and money.

Louvin Brothers/Trgic Songs of Life........2007-01-11
Unforgettable Finest Effort by Bluegrass Masters.......2005-11-22
A friend introduced me to the vinyl in 1978. At the time, I knew little about Country music and even less about Bluegrass. Yet the very first time I heard it, I knew I was experiencing something special. Some may find Take The News To Mother or Mary of the Wild Moor (or any of the other 12 songs for that matter) somewhat hokey, but the unadorned, raw sentiment of these heartbreaking songs is what makes this album work so well. Why do you think it's called Tragic Songs of Life?
Charlie and Ira's proficiency in guitar and mandolin will floor you, but their plaintive harmony will haunt you forever. My two favorites, A Tiny Broken Heart and the Carter Family's perennial I'll Be All Smiles Tonight are masterpieces of feeling and harmony.
A Tiny Broken Heart is particularly gut-wrenching. The story of a little boy whose first love moves away, his pleading for his father to stop the sale of the farm next door will touch even the most jaded of hearts. "Oh no, he cried, dear God don't let it be - they can't take my sweetheart away! ...Give them all my toys, that dear Santa gave; and give them the pennies in my little piggy bank, pennies that my darling helped me save". The world was a far simpler place when Charlie and Ira penned those lyrics, but time has not diminished their effectiveness one bit.
Lesser artists always change the gender when singing a gender-specific song written in the voice of the opposite sex. Like many true artists, they don't bother to alter the lyrics to I'll Be All Smiles Tonight, which is written in the first person from a female perspective. Nevertheless, their wailing will touch you in ways that are difficult to describe, even when you think (and their sincere delivery will convince you otherwise) that they are performing this material with their tongues planted firmly in their cheeks. "I'll deck my brow with roses; my true love may be there. And gems that others gave me, will shine within my hair..." the song begins. You forget instantly that the lyrics were written to be sung by a woman; Maybelle and Sara Carter were only slightly more convincing. True genius.
There is not a bad moment on this album or a bad note in their mouths. The Louvin Brothers, who are known in country history as one of the finest - if not THE finest bluegrass duo who ever lived - produced what is arguably their best album with Tragic Songs of Life. I don't expect it will remain in print forever - it's much too good. Go get it while you can.

"New Spain" comes roaring to life on Missa Mexicana. The disc's mainstay is a Mass setting by Juan Gutiiérez de Padilla, who was appointed maestro de capella at Mexico's Puebla Cathedral in 1629. Although Padilla was born in Andalucía, his work came to embrace Mexico: the rhythms of its dances, the exuberance of its song, and the textures of its popular instrumental ensembles (complete with guitars, percussion, and shawms). Padilla was not a pioneer in this regard; at the time, Spain's sacred music was also greatly influenced by secular sounds. But perhaps the greatest draw of this repertoire, as Andrew Lawrence-King shows off so well, is the tight interweaving of European, Native, and African cultures in Padilla's Mexico, and how he and his contemporaries utilized all of these cultural streams in their own work. Bolstered by an array of other compositions of the age, Lawrence-King makes a strong case for 17th-century Mexico as a cultural crossroads, not merely as a remote outpost of Spanish influence. One prime example is Santiago de Murcia's "Cumbées," with its call-and-response vocals, delicate, mbira-like instrumental interlude, and earthy drumbeat recalling West African music. Another is Padilla's own Christmastime negrilla, "A siolo flasiquiyo," which invites worshipers to dance the guacambe, canario, and villano to celebrate the Messiah's coming. As on his other recordings, harpist and conductor Andrew Lawrence-King has brought together a host of today's most respected early music specialists for this trip to Mexico, including soprano Ellen Hargis, bass Paul Hillier, and gamba player Hille Perl. Lawrence-King himself performs on the Spanish harp, organ, and psaltery. As one might expect from such a gathering, the ensemble is top notch, in both technical expertise and musicianship. The singers (and instrumentalists) are equally comfortable in both Missa Mexicana's religious and earthly spheres, moving from a Gloria to a bawdy song with ease. --Anastasia TsioulcasCustomer Reviews:
Missa Mexicana - Ecstacy and Ear Candy.......2007-07-26
Melody, instrumentation, harmony, rhythm, poetry - it's all there in combinations unheard of before, new and ancient at once. This is how music SHOULD sound!
One of the most interesting and best recorded Early Music programs available.......2006-09-26
On this release, Andrew Lawrence-King has paired each of the Mass' five movements with one or more dance pieces either composed by Padilla or another contemporary composer. This purpose of this approach is to bring together Padilla's vibrant Mass, which itself is permeated with dance elements, with the actual dance pieces (ex: villancicos) that influenced Padilla. In addition to impacting the style of Padilla's sacred works, such dance pieces were actually included on church programs in 17th-century Mexico. Church authorities were a bit ambivalent about the inclusion of such dance pieces on church programs, as they were seen as being "excessively arousing" by some, but others noted that such pieces brought people into church which would not otherwise attend.
Despite being relatively unknown today, Padilla was obviously a first-rate composer. What makes his music remarkably fascinating is how naturally he combines Spanish and Italian stylistic elements with the harmonies and rhythms of the New World, in addition to African music brought to Central America by slaves. Padilla's "Negrilla" (Track 10) for instance, incorporates African rhythms and drums with elements of the European Renaissance. The end result is mesmerizing, especially the complicated and thrilling conclusion. The "A la xácara xacarilla" (Track 7) combines native percussion instruments with a bajón (precursor to the bassoon) and guitars in an intoxicating dance melody. The vocalists in particular do an outstanding job in breathing life into this piece through their enthusiastic and characteristic singing. The final piece on the program, the "Guaracha," itself alone is worth the price of the CD. More than being "excessively arousing" this piece, employing virtually every music instrument known, is downright exhilarating.
The ensemble performing this music is incredibly varied, and includes a large contingent of Mexican baroque guitars, a sackbut, a shawm, a Spanish harp and a percussion section consisting of all types of drums, a rainstick and even a conch shell. The vocalists and instrumentalists provide very enthusiastic and characteristic performances. The sound quality here is audiophile quality.
In short, this disc belongs in any collection of Early Music, but those out there who are not fans of the genre would find much to like here as well. This is fantastic music, which is marvelously performed and recorded. A winner on all accounts.
Highest recommendation!!

Ridiculously fine recording.......2006-09-18
Superb - if idiosyncratic - performances!!.......2005-05-23
In truth, it is perhaps difficult to know how representative of 17th century Mexico this recording is, and for the purist there are certain issues which may raise a few eyebrows...[Padilla's 42-part choir is reduced to a handful of soloists; Santiago de Murcia's 'Cumbees' - primarily intended for guitar - are arranged for harp and interspersed with pseudo-African scat-syllabic improvisations, rendering the notated 'golpes' practically inaudible; Juan Cabanilles' 'Corrente Italiana' - originally for organ - is transfered to a continuo group of harp, bajon, guitars and percussion; etc....]
Yet given the strength of the performances, these musicological quibbles perhaps loose their significance. These are truly stylish interpretations combining flair with panache, and the line up includes some excellent (and well-known) exponents of early music.
Incidentally, if you've enjoyed this recording, you should also explore similar (if not even better - if that's possible!) ones by Jordi Savall & Hesperion XXI ['Villancicos y danzas criollas', Alia Vox AV9834] and Gabriel Garrido & Ensemble Elyma [in particular 'Fiesta Criolla', K617139 and 'Juan de Araujo - L'Or et L'Argent du Haut-Perou', K617124].

"Maestro Faith's performances captivate & mesmerize fans".......2002-02-22
Composer/Arranger/Artist extraordinaire PERCY FAITH was a God sent...he changed my life completely...which brings us to the CD "Passport To Romance" and "Mucho Gusto!", the later title is one of my all-time favorites...not only can Faith arrange for Strings, but "Latin-American Music" is his cup of tea.
Let's look at stand outs ~ "BONJOUR TRISTESSE"(Thorn/Ruccione), latin rhythms slowing seep into the beautiful strings and Faith's orchestration..."A THEME FROM THE THREEPENNY OPERA"(Brecht/Weill), wonderful counterpoints and passages as instrumentally high, but we remember Bobby Darin, Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald singing this classic known as "Mack The Knife"..."BREAD, LOVE AND DREAMS", sounds like the opening to Elmer Bernstein's "The Magnificent Seven", but the tempo takes over with entire orchestra responding to a wonderful theme..."SCALINATEELA(Stay After School)"(Cioffi), romance is in the air, very much like the "Zorro" television theme, with Latin rhythmic blends well and Faith's terrific arrangement(played this one over and over again)...likewise with "SIERRA MADRE(Luna Gitana)"
Highlights abound with "SOMBRA"(Merveilleux)(Desbois/Mistraki), tango creeps into the picture, and it's intoxicating with running strings as counter-balanced through brass and percussion..."MARIA ELENA"(Barcelata), a constant tune that has been recorded by many, but never with the elegance of this cue..."PERFIDIA"(Dominguez), also places into that category of a standard in genre of Latin Music recorded by various artists, Percy gives this a flowing arrangement with brass, strings and percussion sounding off..."ADIOS MARIQUITA LINDA"(Jiminez), this is a tune you've heard, but can never place it, listen to the blending of this renowned orchestra, with the baton of conductor Faith is pure poetry...Percy Faith's music is timeless!
