Opera fans are bound to be disappointed, but almost everyone else will find something to like in this easy-listening, simple, direct, sometimes tuneful and treacly, sometimes rhythmically strong music, performed here by Dame Kiri Te Kanawa and an assortment of other singers and players. Dame Kiri is part Maori, and this music returns her to her roots: Lovely melodies abound, some interesting accompaniments are to be found, and a glimpse into a world we rarely get to see is most welcome. But classical music aficionados will walk away a bit hungry--this is world music, this is folk music, but this is not operatic in any way. Te Kanawa uses an easy-flowing, "pop" sound and is closely miked; at times it barely sounds like her at all. But for what it is, it certainly pleases, and fans of this soprano will be interested in hearing this side of her. There's enjoyable music here, but those allergic to sentiment be warned--some of this music makes "Feelings" seem cynical. --Robert Levine

This album will make you smile.......2007-04-12

This CD has been a delight to listen to ever since I bought it. Some of the tracks are slow and beautiful and sentimental, while others are upbeat, bouncy and fun...and all of them are utterly addicting. My personal favorites are 'Tatakihi', which has lots of tribal drums and sounds very war-like. 'Hoea Ra' has a very simple melody, but it is extremely beautiful, it starts out with just instruments, then the back-up singers come in and sing the principal melodic line, and then Kiri comes in and sings the melody, and then starts singing some variations and improvisations of the melody...the song in itself is very hymn-like. 'Huri Huri' made me smile the first time I heard it. It's very playful and joyful. 'Ara ka Titiro' starts out sounding very mysterious and mystical, with flutes and synthesizers and tribal chants and war-cries, then it goes down a completely different road...it sounds like something you might hear at a luau or something...but it's one of those addicting tracks...I don't think you can listen to this one and not smile and move with the rythms. These are the kind of songs you find yourself humming throughout the day. Everything from flutes, keyboards, synthesizers, drums and guitars are used. A few of the tracks even have some nature sounds (bird-songs, etc.) Don't expect to hear Kiri like you normally would...while she does engage her upper register a few times, alot of the time she just uses her middle-lower register, and a non-operatic style of singing, So if you're expecting to hear her sing these songs like she might sing Mozart or Strauss, you'll probably be disappointed. But this album is THOUROUGHLY enjoyable anyhow. It's nice to hear Kiri singing the songs of her homeland. It shows that she's one of the more down-to-earth divas.

Maori Songs.......2007-01-10

Dame Kiri Te Kanawa sings her native Maori songs beautifully. She has a vibrant,full, clear voice which reflects all of her musical training. She sings these songs with/from her heart.
This is a stunning recording, but you have to keep in mind that this is a well trained, operatic voice. It is BIG, meant to fill an opera house. The chorus has also been brought up to sing crisper, with more dynamic musical expression. I thoughly enjoy this recording.
If you are looking for Maori songs sung closer to normal voice, then the Jane Eru recording of Maori songs, and the Maori Sons of New Zealand albums will be a better choice. This is the difference between operatic and pop voice. The heart and soul are there in all recordings.

appreciation.......2006-11-11

Dame Kiri performance is, as usual, outstanding. A very nice blend of choral and solo with backup.

I recommend this album to anyone.

Awesome!!! Kiri Te Kanawa's Album of Maori songs!.......2006-11-09

A Mystical experience . . . to Listen to . . .

disappointment.......2006-11-11

I am very disappointed in this CD. The beauty of Maori music is in the choral singing--the blending of voices.

This album is mainly solo renditions.

Hiri Maori songs is so much better

This is my favorite CD.......2002-02-23

These are post-European contact Maori songs sung by well-matched voices to acoustic guitar accompaniment. If you want a taste of the beauty of the Maori language, if you want to be charmed, if you want to hear something different, get this CD now.

Moderized.......2002-01-26

I was looking for a CD that featured not only traditionalMaori songs, but also traditional Maori instuments. This CD has the songs, but the music is played by an electric guitar combo- no poi balls :(

you feel like you are among the Maori's ........1999-10-05

I spent two years in Aotearoa(New Zealand) and this cd makes me feel like I am on a Marae. You can't get any closer with out going.

Very Impressed!.......1999-07-30

As a big fan of international music, I have to admit that I love Maori music. Anyone who knows about the Maori culture will agree that this is one CD that should be in their music library. These Maori songs talk about their culture, their way of life and nature. There is more to these songs than just listening for voices and/or instruments... it's about KNOWING what the songs mean!

Disappointing - the music overpowers the voices.......1998-07-22

I was looking for some "a capella" singing but on this CD all the tracks are accompanied by a Hawaiian guitar combo which in places over powers the music.

A lot of the harmonies and features of the music had been cleaned up and sanitized for the western market. Sad really.

Great chants and songs - A must get.......2003-03-14

I have had this CD for several years. I have eight Maori CD's and I feel this one is the best. There is a good mix of chants and songs. None of these selections are attempted mixes of western pop and Maori music. The literature in the jacket is brief. In part they say, "every effort has been made to retain the warmth of the original recording's location." I agree.
