great performances of enjoyable pieces.......2006-03-11

David Russell is arguably the finest classical guitarist in the world, along with Manuel Barrueco and Paul Galbraith, and a few others. I have almost all Russell's CDs, and I enjoy them tremendously. Aire Latino is a collection of many of the best and most popular modern short pieces from Latin composers. Hearing his interpretation and flawless execution has rekindled my love for many of those pieces I once also played. Highly recommended!

It should have been earlier........2006-01-10

I mean the prize, of course. It's no doubt that David Russell is the best(not one of) when referring to 19th century(or style) music on classical guitar. In this album, every small piece is so attractive because of the romantic aspect in guitar, in
David. I own all the albums of David Russell. Although this one is not the best,it definitely deserve the prize, price and praize from guitar lovers from all over the world.

Thoughtful, Sensitive, and Skillful.......2005-08-08

This is a great performance for the very versatile David Russell. His playing is thoughtful and expressive, but also sensitive and not overly extraverted. His use of rubato is excellent on most tracks, and his constant contrast of dynamics, as well as vibrato, give the pieces on this album real life and emotion.

I had been performing 5 of the tracks on this album when it came out, so I can attest to the difficulty of many of these pieces, especially all three movements of the Morel "Sonatina." I can also say that his performances of these is very true; I could hear no incorrect notes , with the exception of some added notes in the first movement of "Sonatina," which I have since adopted myself for my own performance. His expressive interpretation is likewise impeccable on these tracks.

This record would be a great purchase for anyone interested in classical guitar, whether they are just getting into the genre or already have a large collection, or anyone interested in Latin American art music.

Transcendent Pleasure.......2005-04-26

Perfect! One will very rarely discover an album as finely constructed as this. The performer stands at the pinnacle of his profession, one who demonstrates mastery of the instrument and intimate understanding of the music. The selections are interesting, fresh and never boring. There is delight in the listening from beginning to end. Mr. Russell is quite simply astonishing as he unerringly takes the listener on a journey of unalloyed beauty. This is a disc you will relish again and again. If you love the guitar, you must have it.

A Wonderful CD!.......2005-02-17

A wonderful, beautiful CD. The fact that the music is all inter-related creates a beautiful atmosphere while listening. I know enough to know that this type of artistic endeavor is a collaboration; so kudos to David Russell, producer Rosalind Ilett and engineer Thomas Knab! I understand that this team has worked on many of David Russell's amazing recordings.

The One!.......2007-02-19

This has got to be the best production Luis Miguel has ever put out. Song selection is great, and orchestration is extraordinary. This is my all time LuisMi favorite, hands down

Dreamy.......2006-11-11

One of the most melodic and deeply sensual CD's ever. A great voice combined with great romantic standards. She'll love it.

One Of The Greatest CD's Of All Time.......2004-11-16

This is Luis Miguel's breakthrough into romantic ballads and one of the best cd's you will own. It won't matter if you don't speak spanish because the music transcends language barriers.

Even though it is over ten years old now, the music does not sound dated as the arrangements are timeless.

HANDS DOWN... THE BEST LATIN ALBUM EVER RECORDED.......2003-10-02

I'm not the biggest Luis Miguel fan, but I have to admit he is along with Marc Anthony, they are the greatest latin voices of our time.
This is one of those albums that you listen once, and you won't stop listening to it over and over again for months (or perhaps years).
The secret of the success of this album?... a combination of creativity and talent. Behind of Luis Miguel's powerful and soothing voice, there's a team of music masters who are mainly responsible for this fabulous creation.

The very essence of this album is re-creating some of latin music's finest and most beloved bolero classics of all time.
'El Maestro' Armando Manzanero did a great job in terms of production, along with contributing with some of his own classics chosen for this album.
Bebu Silvetti gave and outstanding contribution with the orchestral arrangements for this masterpiece, which capture the very essence of the melodies of these songs and take them to a whole new level.

I have absolutely no doubts about it... THIS IS THE BEST LATIN ALBUM EVER RECORDED, AND I DOUBT THERE WILL EVER BE ANOTHER ONE BETTER.

a jewel to make love to.............2003-02-20

This album is wonderful! I heard the song, "No Se Tu", on the Speechless movie, and HAD to find it! I don't normally buy Spanish albums, but this? This was one you HAVE to have!!!
And YES! MUCHO love has been made to these songs............

Reaching deep into its cavernous vaults, Verve has extracted a rich bountiful of moody and sentimental jazz, perfect for those long, expectant evenings or those equally long, rain-filled days. Nicely packaged with nostalgic, sepia-toned photographs on both the box and each individual CD, A Jazz Romance contains nearly 60 songs guaranteed to set a distinctly low- keyed mood, equal parts sultry and sad. The vast majority of the material is from bygone days of the '40s and '50s, with the more recent entries retaining that flavor. The four discs are entitled In Dreams, Ever, Believing, and Always. They're rather interchangeable, sharing many of the same artists and each having as many vocals as instrumentals, yet each does have some distinction from the others.

In Dreams features the great saxophones of Johnny Hodges on "The Last Time I Saw Paris" and Ben Webster on "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning." Ever has marvelous versions of "My Man" by Sarah Vaughn and "The Shadow of Your Smile" by Dexter Gordon. Believing contains a contemporaneous version of "Some Other Time" by guitarist Mark Whitfield and Diana Krall, along with an outstanding example of Rahsaan Roland Kirk's versatility on "Alfie." Always, perhaps the dreamiest of the lot, has Chet Baker on "Alone Together," Illinois Jacquet on "Star Dust," and Stan Getz doing "Thanks for the Memories." Concentrating exclusively on the romantic side of jazz, this compilation contains an abundance of subtle, emotional music offering great listening in addition to setting the all-important mood. --Wally Shoup

Customer Reviews:

An absolutely stunning collection.......2002-12-10

Ballads, I believe, are the real test of musicianship. And this collection has a judicious and delicious selection which is perhaps the best balanced one I know featuring the all time great moments - Clifford Brown's treatment of Rodgers and Harts Where or When will bring tears to your eyes - as well as quirky less known works - If the Moon Turns Green sung by Billy Holiday - the "old", Ben Webster, along with the "new" Mark Whitfield. Please don't think this is or should be "background" music. You only have to listen to Bill Evans playing with Paul Motian and Gary Peacock on CD1 to realise this is a collection of some of the greatest moments in 20th Century music, regardless of genre.

Pretty Good.......2002-02-22

This selection contains a bunch of great cuts and a few that I could live without, especially the Blossom Dearie tracks. However, as opposed to most collections with weak tracks, this one flows along so well that it is a pleasure to put all four CDS on and let it play in the background on a quiet evening "In." I prefer the companion 4 CD set called "A Night Out with Verve." I would recommend "Out" over "In."

Jazz novice opinion.......2002-02-11

I am a complete novice when it comes to Jazz. Don't know much about it except that I enjoy it. I have to say this set of CD's is a great mood-setter. Definitely softens the atmosphere and relaxes the body and soul. Great music for a night of serenity and romance

Terrific Sampling of Wonderful Performances.......2001-12-28

I put this cd set on my Amazon wishlist, and was very pleased to get it as a gift from my lover. All the old familiar songs, together with songs that I think I remember from my childhood, transport me to space where romance and sentmentality feel like comfortable old wool sweater. Think I'll just sit back... sip some good hot coffee..and hope the boyfriend joins me on the couch

Excellent Follow-up to 'A Night Out with Verve' box.......2001-12-19

Beautiful. Billie Holiday blends seamlessly into Dinah Washington into Johnny Hodges into... this four box is the perfect background atmosphere for your swank cocktail party or that evening of candlelight romance. The compilers have collected a remarkable selection of music from classic Verve jazz heavyweights like Elle and Louie, Sarah Vaughan, Clifford Brown, Coleman Hawkins to, surprisingly, a few lesser known French artists such as Michael Legrand (who wrote the score for the French film 'Les Parapluies De Cherbourg') and Laura Fygi. This is a highly recommended classic jazz collection that will beautifully compliment your romantic evening in and will fit nicely into any classic jazz lovers music collection.

so smooth and romantic.......2001-08-15

This great collection of ballads is the second in the "Romance" series, and is performed impeccably by Luis Miguel, who many consider to be the # 1 singer in Latin music today.

The arrangements are lush and lovely, though perhaps because of the absence of producer/arranger/pianist extraordinaire Bebu Silvetti, doesn't have quite the luster of the 1st and 3rd in the series, which he brought his distinctive magic to...nevertheless, it's a delight hearing these songs so beautifully done, some from years gone by like the incredibly melodic "Historia de un Amor". Other favorites include "Sin Ti", and "El Dia que me Quieras" which includes a nifty bandoneón solo (by Jorge Travisano).

I recommend getting this as part of the 3 disc set, "Todos los Romances". # 3, "Romances", is one of my top 10 favorite Latin music CDs, a classic I never tire of, and # 1 includes the amazing "Te Extraño"...each disc the perfect music for reverie and romance, and an example of that rare thing called "excellence".

A Latin masterpiece.......2001-06-28

"Segundo Romance," the CD by Luis Miguel, is an excellent collection of Latin music. All the songs have Spanish lyrics. These songs are mellow, romantic ballads with a lush, classy orchestral backing. Luis Miguel performs each selection with a gentle, but smoldering, passion.

My favorite songs on this disc are "Sin ti," "La media vuelta," and "Delirio." This is a wonderful CD that should come with the following warning: It may cause listeners to start passionately kissing somebody!

BEING ROMANTIC IS WHEN LOVE SPARKLES.......2000-07-17

LUIS MIGUEL IS A KNOWN ROMANTIC SINGER. HIS MUSIC AND PERSONALITY WILL CARRY HIM TO BETTER AND GOOD CARRER. I LOVE HIS MUSIC. I THANK GOD FOR SUCH A PERSON LIKE HIM. AS FAR AS ME IM A VERY ROMANTIC PERSON MYSELF. IM GLAD I HAVE ALL HIS ALBUMS AND WONDERFUL MUSIC. I ALWAYS PLAY HIS MUSIC WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO BEING ROMANTIC WITH THAT SOMEONE SPECIAL. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO TRY AND LEARN NEW THINGS AS FAR AS ROMANCE GOES. LUIS MIGUEL AND HIS MUSIC WILL LIVE ON AND CHERISH EACH AND EVERY ONE HEARTS FOR THOSE WHO KNOW HIM AND LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC....

Grammy Win ner!.......2000-04-04

It's easy to understand why this 2nd CD in his Bolero Triligy won Luis Miguel his 3rd Grammy in 1995 and assisted in his being named Best Latin Artist of the Year in 1995 by The World Music Association. His perfect voice alone would sell this album. . .but wait, feel the music (especially the bolero tunes), let the words of these romantic ballads fill your mind - causing your heart to sing - your lips will soon follow for who can resist this Latin King?

TIMELESS, MASTERFUL LOVE BALLADS BY A PRO.......2000-03-15

This marks the apex of Miguel's romance series, although "Romances" does have the best version of "Manha de Carnaval" ever recorded in any language for my money. I play this album frequently, and wore out one copy when it was released in '94. I came to Miguel late, as I do not speak Spanish (yet), but I've always fancied the well-wrought Latin ballad. This collection is surpassed by none, and will make even the most hardcore holdouts fans of the couple of mariachi classics featured herein. Miguel's version of "Delirio" is ecstatic, and if you want some sultry eye candy to gawk at, check out the video that accompanies it. Amor, amor, amor...

I am not a jazz afficionato but the songs in this album are beautiifully arranged and they just light up my day when I play them. My favorite is "How Insensitive". The touch of the piano is light, the counterpoint just makes me beam. Just wonderful!

latin moods from Brazilian roots...excilerating!.......2001-08-27

The entire album is a "latin jazz" must have...but there are two stand outs ~ "CORCOVADO", featuring Charlie Byrd and Ken Peplowski, this alone is worth the price of admission, two classic musicians with a never-to-be-forgotten duet...the other is ~ MANHA DE CARNAVAL (SUNRISE), over four minutes of pure esctasy from sultry style of Susannah McCorkle, what a great loss of this memorable interpreter of lyrics, who passed away this year in May, she will be sorely missed...she had the free-spirit of Ella!

Hats off to producers John Burk & Chris Dunn, mastered by George Horn and Concord Jazz, mixing the essential ingredient into every release, quality first and foremost...can always count on them to come up with great and unforgettable moods in jazz...a note to Concord, we need more of the same!

Just about every song on this CD is just wonderful and masterfully done. The quality of the recording, the instruments and the musicians is superior. It is very sultry without being languid or sluggish. Great rhythms are married to intriguing melodies to move you subtly and keep you from getting bored. Perfect music for a jazzy cocktail party, or a steamy night home with someone special. Highly recommended!

OUTSTANDING PERFORMER.......2006-06-15

Benise is incredible!!! As far as these few bad reviews, I am not sure why critics are attacking him. I saw his show in May 06 in Baltimore and it was fantastic. I am a fan of all forms of music and this guy Benise is awesome. This is just the beginning for him. I strongly recommend all to get his CDs and see him and his band live. His music captures you and takes you away!!!!! Great stuff!!!

Romance & Passion.......2006-06-13

This is a great CD from Benise's ealier work...a little more suttle but still mixes it up. Song Forbiden has a very sexy beat. Another one I would suggest to add to your Benise collection if you don't already have this CD.

It's Beautiful.......2006-06-11

What can you say - this is the kind of music that flows through your soul and gets you foot tapping - wonderful!

Exquisite and flaming style invigorates the dullest of senses.......2006-06-09

My wife and I had the pleasure of first hearing Benise in Desert Springs, CA. We were moved by Benise's captivating rhythms and intense and articulate sounds. Cafe Paris from his CD Romance and Passion is one my wife and my favorites. Couples - this CD is for you if you want to ingite the fires of passion in your lover. Get your juices flowing and your heart pumping with the Romance and Passion CD.

ROMANCE AND PASSION CD-BENISE.......2006-06-09

Romance and Passion. What a title! What a CD!

I have listened to various types of music. None has touched my heart more deeply than the sounds of Spanish Guitar.

Growing up with Latin music is a blessing and Mr. Benise touches the hearts and souls of many with his gift of composing heartfelt pieces of music.

I cannot explain what it feels like. You have to experience this for yourself.

For those who are romantic at heart, I recommend this CD.

Mr. Benise has definitely made a fan out of me.

Afro Cuban Lullaby is worth the price of admission alone. One of the sweetest songs I've ever heard. The entire album is clean, well played by Hilary Field, and very pretty. Not a lot of fancy production, just really nice guitar playing.

Dos Almas De Espana.......2002-06-03

If you like Spanish style classical guitar you will love this one. Fantastic. All 12 Tracks. You don't have to delete anything.

Astounding!!.......2000-12-28

An intricate blend of subtle, moving tunes mixed with powerful soul infused songs that make you want to dance all over. His skill and speed make the majority of guitarists in other music genres look weak.

Oh, the languor! The passion!.......2003-12-26

Some time back - now rapidly approaching the two-year mark - I attended an Australian Chamber Orchestra concert while they were on tour in the U.S. The printed program was a combination of somewhat standard fare by Mozart and Bartok combined with offbeat works by Haydn and Sculthorpe. Their ability to absorb and idiomatically recreate such a wide range of styles was, to put it mildly, staggering. It was a rousing success for this Tognetti Troupe, so much so that they were called back for multiple encores.

The final encore was Tognetti's arrangement of Astor Piazzolla's "Oblivion" for string orchestra (sans bandoneon), and it was a sublime ending to an outstanding concert. In that performance, it was clear to me that the unique Piazzolla style had survived the journey from Argentina to Australia, and that, moreover, Tognetti had succeeded in capturing the Piazzolla spirit in his string orchestra arrangement of "Oblivion", made even more insinuatingly sinuous (if that were possible) by "implying" the missing bandoneon part. (In point of fact, Piazzolla's music exhibits a great deal of resiliency to arrangement for instrumental forces other than what he wrote for, as can be witnessed in the various successes of Daniel Barenboim, Gidon Kremer, the Kronos Quartet, Yo-Yo Ma, and even the Montreal Symphony Orchestra led by Charles Dutoit.)

Given the idiomatic panache with which the Tognetti Troupe performed "Oblivion," as well as a personal preference for string orchestral arrangements, I had high hopes that a Piazzolla CD by this group would be forthcoming. When, about a year ago, an Australian cyberfriend informed me that the group had scheduled a series of concerts of Piazzolla's music, my hopes brightened considerably. And now that album is here. (N.B.: It wasn't easy to find this product page despite its being here for some two months already; various "power search" tricks failed. Finally, almost in a fit of desperation, I succeeded in "fudging" this page from its UK equivalent by monkeying with the URL.)

This is a well-filled album (at a total timing of 74:31), and it is everything I could have hoped for, and then some. This is as good a cross-section of Piazzolla's music that can be made to fit on a CD, including several of his most famous works covering the full gamut of his style, from wildly energetic to passionately languorous.

James Crabb - the guest soloist (and arranger of several of the album's works) - is nothing short of incredible. Performing on classical accordion - like the bandoneon, a "button" accordion, but with a far different and much more complex arrangement of "keys" - Crabb seemingly has no difficulty in adapting this instrument to perform music that fell naturally to Piazzolla's own hands but must be at a higher level of difficulty for his chosen instrument. Nevertheless, he does it all, and the effect is as if Piazzolla himself was there.

While I've heard most of this music before, either by Piazzolla and his own group or by one or more of the groups noted at the outset, works new to me are "Vayamos al Diablo," not quite a tango with its strange 7/4 beat, and "Tanguedia," a dark piece suggestive (as the booklet notes point out) of a dangerous Buenos Aires at night, as it "deconstructs" totally while it proceeds to its eerie conclusion.

But I am a sucker for passionately languorous Piazzolla, and it is in such pieces as "Oblivion" and "Milonga del Angel" that I think Tognetti and Crabb do their best work as arrangers and performers. The string chamber orchestra seems ideal as an instrumental setting for these, especially with the way the arrangements incorporate both piano and harp (particularly the latter, which adds a marvelous touch). Tognetti's solo turns on violin exhibit a sweetness of tone and a performing style as well that - when combined with the full strings plus harp - can literally take one's breath away. This is magic that lingers.

Maestro Tognetti has an incredibly natural feel for this music, and his ability to imbue his ensemble with "the feel" is remarkable. These Aussies, to a person, play Piazzolla as if they were "to the manner born." And it's downright nice of Tognetti to arrange the tracks so that "Oblivion" is the stunning closer: a wonderful keepsake of that evening, nearly two years ago, when the languorous strains of "Oblivion" wafted out from the stage to enthrall me and leave me both dizzy and hungry for more.

This album is, without question, the "Piazzolla album of the year" and among the finest chamber orchestra albums it's been my pleasure to enjoy. Should Maestro Tognetti bring his troupe to the U.S. again this year, showcasing the music on this album, I'll be there!
