The best music from Argentina!!!.......2007-07-08

I like this type of music eventhough I was not born in those years,but my taste for music had being expanded,this music is really good because the singer sings with so much feeling,and you can feel like if you are inside that world,the singer is trying to portrait,is pretty excellent,that's all it is.

OTRA BUENA COMPILACION, PERO INCOMPLETA...........2005-04-19

La seleccion de canciones es representativa y muy buena, no admite mayores discusiones. Están incluidos todos los exitos: "Rosa Rosa", "Las Manos", "Quiero llenarme de ti", "Como lo hice yo", etc. He visto compilaciones de este artista de las mas variadas, pero no puedo entender por qué en ninguna de ellas se cubre el período digamos "rockero" de Sandro, con su conjunto Los de Fuego. En particular, esta compilación arranca con "Melodía Desencadenada", grabada en 1966 si mal no recuerdo. Pero entre 1963 y 1965 Sandro todavía no componía y grababa "covers" de temas famosos de otros artistas (el caso de "Melodía Desencadenada" o "Unchain Melody"); por ejemplo, de temas de Los Beatles podemos encontrar grabadas por Sandro (castellanizadas por supuesto) a "A hard day's night", "We can work it out", "I'll get you", "Can't buy me love", "A world without love", "From a Window" y muchas otras. Otro puñado de canciones que Elvis Presley interpetaba también fueron grabadas por Sandro (quien quería parecerse a Elvis según ha declarado). Por eso digo que se trata de otra buena compilación aunque incompleta por omitir toda esa primera época que si bien no representa ni al mejor ni al más conocido Sandro, resultaría interesante que se incluya algo de este período. Por lo demás, no hay quejas en cuanto a los temas incluidos. Por esa omisión es que le doy "solamente" 4 estrellas a este disco.

Excellent.......2004-03-17

You can travel back through time with this outstanding album. Here you can appreciate one of the greatest latin singers of the past 30 years.
Para los latinos,este album recoge las mas bellas melodías de la carrera de este gran artista. El sentimiento que despliega en cada una de las canciones es caractrístico de Sandro. Realmente una joya musical imperecedera.

50 ANIVERSARIO DE SANDRO.......2003-08-23

After listening to SANDRO'S way of enterpreting a melody is hard to keep the tears from falling, his unique stile of beeing able to totally feel and understand the emotions that were felt by the composer reminds me of an old interview I had the privelige of listenig by the "REY DEL BOLERO" TITO RODRIGUES in which he explained that his susscess was based upon the fact that he understood the writers emotions and was able transmit it to the public ..IF GITANO CD AND MOVIE EVER BECOMES AVALABLE PLEASE LET ME KNOW BECAUSE SANDRO IS ALSO A GREAT ACTOR EVEN WHEN THE SCRIPT WAS LAME HE TURNED INTO A GOOD MOVIE. THANK FOR PROVIDING THE WORLD THE OPPORTUNITY TO LISTEN TO THE TRUE MAESTRO..

John Eliot Gardiner's 1974 recording of Monteverdi's extraordinary Vespers of 1610 was a landmark, helping establish the modern reputations of both music and conductor. In 1989, to celebrate the silver anniversary of his Monteverdi Choir (named in honor of this work), he recorded the cycle again--this time live in the Basilica of San Marco in Venice. He made use of resources he didn't have 15 years earlier, like period instruments and, for soloists, a mix of early-music specialists (Ann Monoyios and Michael Chance) and opera singers (the young Bryn Terfel). As a bonus, he recorded both the standard version of the Magnificat for voices and instruments and Monteverdi's published alternative setting for six voices and organ. Gardiner gives a vigorous, theatrical, yet very detailed account of this music, caressing some phrases, thundering out others, using lots of carefully judged crescendos and decrescendos. On its terms, it works, thanks largely to the wondrous Monteverdi Choir, which can do anything asked of it. But there seems little of the sacred in the performance and almost nothing of the spontaneous or natural--the carefully calibrated effects can come across as overdetermined. In his booklet essay, Gardiner makes quite a point of his fidelity to the published score, yet he liberally adds instruments to double the voices, and he takes an odd liberty with the much-loved duet-trio "Duo seraphim": at the close of each half of the motet, at the words "plena est omnis terra," he has the tenors of his chorus take over from his soloists. If you're uncomfortable with that sort of thing, go for Andrew Parrott's marvelous one-singer-per-part performance or (for those who want a full chorus) for the version of William Christie or that of René Jacobs; if these additions don't faze you and you want a high-powered, adrenaline-rush performance, you'll find it here. --Matthew Westphal

Monteverdi's stunning resume piece.......2006-10-22

What a job application. Looking for work around 1610, Claudio Monteverdi composed this massive work in hopes of Vatican employment. He even dedicated it to his anticipated future boss, Pope Paul V - kissing up has a long tradition in the Western world. Inexplicably, the Vatican wasn't moved. Instead, Monteverdi accepted the patronage of the Doge in Venice and became their Maestro di Capella in 1613. Whether or not this masterpiece ever received a public performance during his life remains controversial amongst music historians. Either way, it must have suitably padded his already impressive resume. So Monteverdi's arguably most famous work originated from a job search. Stranger things have happened.

"Vespro Della Beata Vergine" or "Vespers of 1610" follows the Roman Catholic structure for evening mass as laid out in the liturgical canonical hours (also known as "Vespers"; "Vesper" means "evening" in Latin). The first CD opens with the traditional chanted versicle (Deus in adiutorium meum intende, etc.) and suddenly explodes with a riveting choir belting out the doxology (Gloria Patri et Filio). Accompanying instrumentation adds to the effect. This work truly starts with an unforgettable bang. This helps emphasize the oft-repeated doxology (all of the succeeding Psalms conclude with this same stanza). Next, the work alternates between five Psalms and four Concertos, then continues with a sontata, a hymn, and finishes with an enthralling "Magnificat." Though the work's title explictly references the Virgin Mary, only two pieces revolve around her. Subsequently, some scholars have argued that this work could get structured around any Saint, and Monteverdi simply chose the Virgin Mary as a marketing ploy for the Vatican. Not only that, others dispute the location of the more secular Concertos. Two of these, "Nigra Sum" and "Pulchra Es" from "Song of Solomon", were probably a little saucy for religious works of the day. The ordering here follows the original manuscript.

Amazing music pervades these CDs. "Dixit Dominus" opens with ethereal singing, suggesting drifting angels or the clouds slowly parting. Then it fulminates like thunder as the choir sings the words of God: "Sit at my right hand, and I shall make of your enemies a footstool for you." "Laetatus sum" begins with a simple walking harpsichord line that recurs (one of Monteverdi's ritornellos), develops into dizzying choral arrangements, and concludes with a devastating "Amen." Though dancing probably wasn't intended, "Nisi Dominus" provides a sprightly enough rhythm to inspire any lazy feet, all the way to its final gentle resolution. "Ave maris stella" provides by far the most moving choral piece of the set. Ineffably ethereal notes levitate on air for nearly nine minutes. The final Magnificat remains stunning beyond words. This set includes two versions: one for seven parts and one for six.

John Eliot Gardiner was accused of taking liberties with Monteverdi's score. Apparently he embellished instrumentation and added voices for emphasis. Some even accused him of siphoning the sacred from the music. In other words, as Monteverdi straddled the Reniassance and the Baroque, this 1989 recording tips the scales in favor of highly charged Baroque. Those looking for a passionate interpretation of "Vespers" will find it here. Regardless, this release caused a surge in Gardiner's reputation as well as bolstering the then nascent authentic instrument movement. He could not have chosen a better recording locale: the gape-inducing Byzantine style St. Mark's Cathedral in Venice. Monteverdi's old stomping ground.

Monteverdi still doesn't have the name recognition of a Mozart or a Beethoven. Nonetheless, recordings such as this one doubtlessly helped direct attention to the once forgotten modernizer of Reniassance music. Recently, Monteverdi's name has experienced a rebirth. Many consider his "L'Orfeo" as the beginning of popular opera and his madrigals as the origin of modern song arrangement. His "Vespers" alone, sometimes equated to Bach's "St. Matthew Passion" and often called his most impressive work, should more than solidfy his name in the history of Western music for some time to come.

One of the Greatest Recordings of All Time.......2004-12-22

I discovered Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610 while listening to the radio in my car. I happened to flip to a channel playing the "Magnificat" and I was utterly mesmerized, haunted in fact by the sound until I chased down this CD.

This recording is both profounding beautiful and incredibly moving. You get a sense both of Monteverdi's great gifts as a composer, but also a sense of the sacred as well. Indeed, Monteverdi approached his subject matter with appropriate reverence and, it would seem, a bit of Divine inspiration. A tour of late-Renaissance/early-Baroque musical styles, the Vespers never bore, always providing yet another delightful surprise.

In short, this disc is a must for every music lover. If Monteverdi's Vespers doesn't touch you in some way, there's something wrong with you.

Eternally innovative in pure tradition.......2003-07-31

Monteverdi lived a very long time in a century deeply troubled by all kinds of ills and changes. The Black Death was still there. The christian religion was exploding into a myriad of rivaling churches and affiliations. Calvin fought against Luther and both were rejected by the catholics. It was also a time in which science started leaping forward, transforming the old traditional vision of teh world into something that opened the eyes of humanity to the universe. The earth suddenly became round and started turning around the sun. The new world had just been discovered and the old world was a battlefield for nations and kings or emperors, at times bishops and cardinals. It was a time of uncertainty because of change and it was dangerous to advocate that change a little bit too much. Giordano Bruno was grilled alive in Rome for his philosophy in 1600 and Galileo nearly died in a similar way. Many catholics or protestants were exterminating one another. A new form of art was also appearing, even in church music. Pope Paul V went as far as excomunicating that new art, the stilo nuovo.
Monteverdi tries to give a new grandeur to some religious celebrations to represent, to bring back a certain stability in this moving universe. These Vespers are typical of this attempt. He goes back to the traditional text of such vespers and yet he makes it tremendously modern. Modern with the strong evocation of the Virgin as a beautiful woman, what's more black with the famous Nigra sum, and yet that is also coming from the tradition. But he also tries to stabilize the musical world by using the stilo antico along with the stilo nuovo. The words and the singing often go back to the very rich gregorian polyphony of the stilo antico while the music, the instruments of it, the harmony of it are more in the line of the stilo nuovo. This attempt produces a music that opens the door to the development of what is known as baroque music issuing directly from the tremendous innovating style of the Renaissance.
These Vespers have thus become eternal, as the crossroads between ages, cultures, between the past, the present and the future. Monteverdi is in a way a man of his time but also of our time.

Great CD - where is the video?.......2002-02-15

Could we please get the video version on the DVD? I have the laserdisc but it would be great to have it remastered, perhaps even in multichannel audio? (hint, hint...)

Extraordinary.......2000-09-03

This is simply an extraordinary performance from both a documentary and aesthetic perspective.

Recorded at St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, where Monteverdi was composer-in-residence from 1613, the sound quality is outstanding. I've heard so many choral performances recorded in Renaissance churches that sound lost and empty. The engineers have done something special here -- they have produced a disc that SOUNDs like what I imagine a performance of the Vespers would have sounded to Monteverdi's ears.

The performances themselves are about the best I have heard from the Monteverdis and the soloists. Not one voice sounds out of harmony or rhythm, and not one instrument sounds a false not. That is almost unheard of in a live recording.

I'm not sure that this is the definitive recording of this work, but I haven't heard many that have come close. Frankly, though the one-voice-per-part approach favoured by some HIP ensembles would be totally inappropriate. Venice wanted its music BIG and that's how Monteverdi wrote it.

Monteverdi's Fourth Book of Madrigals for five voices was a real ground-breaking work: the composer tossed aside the rules of classical counterpoint and harmony, making the music subservient to the text it delivered--creating extraordinary pictorial and emotive effects that are surprising even today. Here's just one example: in "Si, ch'io vorrei morire," the voices enter successively on the line "Ahi, car'e dolce lingua" ("Ah, dear sweet tongue"), each voice extending its phrase while the next two voices above enter in their turn, the lines caressing and colliding with each other like the tongues of kissing lovers, the dissonant suspensions like frissons of passion. Concerto Italiano's performance is a revelation: each quicksilver change in tempo or volume is beautifully judged, yet sounds completely spontaneous and natural. --Matthew Westphal

A stunning recording.......2005-07-04

If I had to single out one recording of madrigals to recommend this might quite possibly be it. The performances by Alessandrini and Concerto Italiano are everything the critics have been raving about for a number of years now. They really do take the cake when it comes to being the outstanding madrigal performers of our times - although we now have La Venexiana, who can be put on the same level. The singing here represents a degree of refinement in expressive eloquence that is previously unheard of in this repertoire. This makes this CD gripping listening from start to finish even though all works are sung a capella.

The recording is also well up to the usual high standards of Opus 111.

Fresh, luminous and touching!.......2005-06-14

The best book of Monteverdi sung the very best by the best singers.
This crew - which main members now sing in La Venexiana - must have some strange affinity to Monteverdi! It never sounds 'old' or 'ancient'; you feel rather that Monteverdi is some modern composer, or you feel how young his inventive style must have been felt by his contemporaries. Concerto Italiano - i.e. until the mid 90ies - had some kind of 'analytical' approach, slow, high definition, sophisticated, clear, fresh, young, shining - like the first spring! This luxury production never feels cold or boring, from the first madrigals, 'Ah dolente partita', 'Cor mio' and so on, it is very, very touching. A more happy madrigal like 'A un giro sol de' bell'occhi lucenti' is really a wonder. Rossana Bertini's shrill soprano is specially striking. Highly recommended! I also recommend The second book - Amazon: B0000260SF - by the same group and The third book - Amazon: B00006B1R7- by La Veneziana; almost the same crew and surely the same style.

A very musical and lively recording........1998-12-16

Concerto Italiano gives a refreshing interpretation of Monteverdi's madrigals. Apart from being a well and musically sung recording, it is the expression of the lyrics which makes this CD unique. From listening it is clear that the madrigals were meant to be sung this way: One hears the birds, the wind, the sea and, of course, many lamenting lovers. (Be sure to keep the booklet handy when listening !)

Although the revival of renaissance music has produced many nice recordings (i.e. Kirby), these all seem a bit academic now. Also the other CD-s by this ensemble are worthwhile, but this one is the top. Thank you Concerto Italiano !

Impressive performances from Lanza's final years.......2004-12-18

This CD contains most of the soundtrack from Lanza's final movie, the 1958 For the First Time, together with the 1959 album Mario Lanza Sings Caruso Favorites.

By 1958 Lanza's lirico spinto tenor had darkened significantly, acquiring a baritonal richness in its middle and lower registers, while still retaining the celebrated top notes for which he was justly famous. On his best days, he was also a more sensitive singer than he had sometimes been in his Hollywood period. This is immediately noticeable on the operatic selections included here: Vesti La Giubba; the Otello Death Scene (Niun Mi Tema); and the Grand March from Aida. On the first two numbers, Lanza phrases beautifully and avoids marring these arias with the hammy histrionics that many more celebrated names have indulged in elsewhere. Dark with haunting overtones, his voice is by now ideal for both Canio and Otello.

The Grand March scene is also impressive, with Lanza delivering some staggering B flats over the deafening Rome Opera Orchestra and chorus. All three operatic selections from For the First Time were recorded (and subsequently filmed) at the Rome Opera House, and the effect that Lanza had on the musicians present was extraordinary. "A very musical tenor of enormous possibilities, with an exceptional timbre" was the verdict of the theatre's then Artistic Director Riccardo Vitale.

The first half of For the First Time is much lighter, and includes the pleasant title song, Come Prima, along with a sweet and all-too-brief O Mon Amour. There is also the novelty of hearing Lanza singing in German in the rousing Hofbrauhaus Song, as well as a ridiculous rock and roll number called Pineapple Pickers. (Typically, BMG place this next to Vesti la Giubba on the CD, with no thought for the massive jump in musical style and content between the tracks.) O Sole Mio sounds a little laboured here, and rings out much more thrillingly in the movie. But with the exception of the videotape of the actual film (reviewed elsewhere on this site), many of these selections have never sounded better. There is still the ever-present sandiness that mars all of Lanza's stereo releases, but at least this is an improvement on the soundtrack's earlier outing on the Double Feature CD.

My only gripe is that the delightful Cosi Fan Tutte trio - E Voi Ridete - has been omitted. Instead we have three uneventful (and irritating) non-Lanza musical interludes. *Mercifully* missing, however, is the tenor's La Donna 'e Mobile. Uncharacteristically strained, it was his least impressive performance of the aria, and the only vocal lapse in the entire film.

The final twelve selections from the Caruso Favorites album also feature Lanza in mostly fine form. As with all the tenor's 1959 recordings, however, the reproduction of his voice (though curiously *not* the orchestra) is less than ideal, and the ever-present distortion - particularly on his top notes - mars some of the best moments. Gripes aside, this is an important album in the Lanza canon. Among the highlights are the Neapolitan song Senza Nisciuno; a tasteful Vaghissima Sembianza, replete with two beautiful High As; the daunting Serenata; and three exquisite Tosti songs: L'Alba Separa Dalla Luce L'Ombra, Pour Un Baiser and Ideale.

L'Alba Separa dalla Luce l'Ombra deserves special mention. Lanza is appropriately operatic on this miniature masterpiece, and although his voice sounds a little heavy at times, the impact of his performance is very moving. From "Chiudimi, O notte, nel tuo sen materno," (Envelop me, O night, in your maternal [...]) onwards, Lanza is in full control of the song, faltering only slightly on the climactic note on "eterno" (though this may, in fact, be due to the distortion). Lapses aside, L'Alba Separa is a fine example of Lanza's artistic maturity.

Among the few lesser moments, Mario runs out of steam in the second half of La Mia Canzone, and is subjected to an overly boisterous arrangement on Santa Lucia, which sounds more akin to a march than a lilting ode to the Bay of Naples! At times Lanza does sound tired, and as one perceptive reviewer has noted, we miss the characteristic smile of his earlier voice. Ironically, critics and habitual Lanza-knockers are much more likely to praise this album for the very reason that the tenor *is* so subdued.

Caruso Favorites and For the First Time - together with the brilliant Neapolitan album Mario! Lanza At His Best (also reviewed on this site) - represent the tenor's most impressive singing from the final period of his life. As Lanza authority Lindsay Perigo has noted, the tenor's voice on all three albums is often "hauntingly ethereal." In short, these are not performances that are easily forgotten.

overwhelmed humbled and lost for words but this creation this musical performance.......2006-05-21

this is the most dramatic without pathos, most intimate without subjectivity, most powerful with total sensitivity and kindness, most anguished with room always for a sigh of humor, no bitterness here. I really don't know flamenco I beleive this was my first meaningful experience with flamenco as sung and how lucky that for me it was Sandro. This is almost like going into an unknown territory one you have heard no hints or rumors about; your life may be in danger but Your guide is Sandro and you are in proficient hands, you will not only immerge safe but you will have had an extreme sort of the canciones sort and enjoy every dangerous minute. In this Sandro is unsurpassed and if he is surpassed or equalled please tell me who before I leave for The caves of Seville

UNO DE LOS MEJORES TRABAJOS DE SANDRO.......2005-04-18

Este disco tal vez haya marcado el comienzo de la consagración definitiva de Sandro. Por primera vez, en este disco Sandro ha dejado completamente de lado los "covers" y asumiendo los riesgos, ha incluido unicamente temas en los cuales él es coautor de los mismos junto con el inolvidable Oscar Anderle.
El resultado fue un disco de leyenda, que incluye dos de sus más grandes éxitos de todos los tiempos: "Penumbras" y "Asi".
Este trabajo tambien ha marcado una madurez interpretativa que hace la gran diferencia con respecto a los discos anteriores.
Si bien predominan las baladas con letras melodramáticas, queda en claro que Sandro no se ha olvidado completamente de sus raices rockeras. En efecto, "Yuma Yoe" y "Tengo" tienen alguna reminiscencia de sus primeros discos. También se destacan "Por algún camino", "Me amas y me dejas" y "París ante ti". Los acertados e impecables arreglos musicales a cargo de Jorge Lopez Ruiz han contribuido decisivamente al exito que ha significado en su momento el lanzamiento de este disco, y también de su siguiente album ("Sandro de America"). En suma, es uno de los mejores trabajos de Sandro que tal vez haya marcado el comienzo de su consagración. Vale la pena destacar que en Argentina, cuando este CD fue reeditado, se han incluido dos bonus tracks: una version del clásico de Tom Jones, "Dalila", que había aparecido en su momento unicamente en un EP, y una versión alternativa de "Me amas y me dejas". Sin dudas, una verdadera joya.

La Magia de Sandro.......2005-01-09

Sin duda alguna < La magia de Sandro es una de las joyas musicales mejores de el. Hace mas de 30 anos que yo tengo este LP (CD) Sandro usa su estilo de romanticismo para llevarle a ustedes sus interpretaciones de un modo que llega al corazon de ustedes. Sin duda alguna y con muchos criterios Sandro de america ha sido el mejor cantante baladista de america en los ultimos 40 anos. Sandro lleva su magia hacia usted! Dennis A Rodriguez.....Puerto Rico te quiere Sandro!

GOOD.......1999-11-02

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I CAN GET A FAN CLUB ADDRESS OF SANDRO, MY WIFE LOVES HIS SONGS AND IS A BIG FAN OF HIS. AND I WOULD LIKE TO GET HER AN AUTOGRAPH PICTURE FOR HER BIRTHDAY.

Sandro: At his best, no comparison.......1999-09-16

This album contains some of the best music I've ever heard, period. Not just when compared to other hispanic artists, but that of any musician. Other works by Sandro range from being every bit as good as the best titles from this record, to corny, overly melodramatic ballads! His music won't strike you as being immediately different and original the way more modern music does, with it's overdubs and sound effects but rather they draw their strength from a combination of heart-felt, poetic, yet bitter lyrics, powerful orchestral accompaniment, and great melodies.(However, Sandro's attempts at rock are in my opinion, anything but original.) I'm refering strictly to SOME of his love songs such as "Penumbra". A sad, haunting tune about rejection depicted in a unique way because he actually spends most of his composition simply describing the lady in question. Only towards the end does he reveal her indifference towards him as it builds to a big finish! Anyway check this whole album out.

This was the record that made him the greatest latin singer.......1999-06-24

The career of Sandro was launched after this recording was released, and all the songs were Number One in Latin America... Every Sandro fan should own it as a masterpiece." Penumbras " is to Sandro what " New York, New York " was to Frank Sinatra.

Sunny, but with some real spine . . ........2005-06-17

. . . which isn't always the case with these Brazil-jazz projects. If it tips just slightly too much toward a jazz-lite sensibility, the leader can be forgiven, because the music here lilts and swings with a very attractive and authentic jazz vibe, and is never less than pleasant listening, even as it avoids the saccharine trap so much of this kind of thing falls into.

The overall sensibility reminds me quite a bit of Steve Erquiaga's marvelous disc, Erkiology, with a touch, perhaps, of Joe Pass's wonderful outing, Whitestone, and a slight nod to the late Herbie Mann's Jazil Brazz. In some ways, it's even better than any of these fine examples of the genre, perhaps having an even more truly jazz feeling than all of them. Featuring some of today's best jazz fusionistas, including Russel Ferrante, Robben Ford, Edsel Gomez, Airto Moreira, Luis Conte, and others, this disc should appeal to anyone who digs Brazilian instrumental jazz.

Extremely engaging, and will with more listens almost certainly morph from its present ****1/2 to a full five stars.
