5 out of 5 stars Fabulous.......2005-10-23

This DVD is spectacular. Andre Rieu is absolutely fascinating to listen to and the costumes of the orchestra as gorgeous. Well worth every penny.

5 out of 5 stars Andre Rieu "Fiesta".......2005-09-20

This CD is absolutely fantastic. There is no musician quite like Andre Rieu. His music does indeed lift the spirit.

5 out of 5 stars Fiesta.......2005-09-12

The music lifts my spirits! It is fun and lighthearted. I sincerely recommend this CD by Andre Rieu.

1 out of 5 stars Not the best versions available.......2002-02-12

First of all, why call this recording
"Fiesta"? only for the first four latin-american
works? because the rest of the cd is of
German music.I you want a real "Fiesta"
disc, I recomendation is that disc
of Keith Lockhart, is much more fun and
much more in a fiesta spirit than this one.

5 out of 5 stars This is a great album!.......2002-01-02

I highly recommend this album. Andre Rieu is a great violinist. If you buy this album you will not be dissappointed. I'd give it ten stars if I could.

4 out of 5 stars Would you like ketchup with your bug?.......2007-05-05

The person who sang O Mio Babbino Caro is Carmen Monarcha. Do a search for her on YouTube; she's really fantastic!

Anyway, I saw Andre Rieu on a PBS special on television and it looked like such an awesome, high-energy concert! The CD is not so exciting, but it is worth buying just for that beautiful aria.

5 out of 5 stars he makes you get up and dance.......2007-04-10

The music is really toe tapping and excellent. Andre Rieu is a master of music.

5 out of 5 stars Live in Dublin.......2006-07-05

This concert is magnificent in its energy and in the great performances by Andre Rieu and the Johann Stauss orchestra. I watch it when I need lifting up. I love the audience interaction which makes me feel as if I'm there in person.

5 out of 5 stars Live audience is great........2006-05-03

This has to be one of Andre's best. The live audience adds much to the music being played. I wish I had been there for the performance.

5 out of 5 stars Great stuff!.......2002-10-24

Erich kunzel has recorded a wonderfully exhilerating item this time! Wonderfully exhuberant is mild compared to the lively playing Kunzel always gets from this great orchestra! Arrangements are mostly by Tommy Newsome who knows how to write charts of varying degrees of excellence, particularly the winsome "Girl from Ipanema" which compliments the lyrics endless reflections on a beautiful, bikini-clad young woman. "Sweet and Gentle" is a saucy number while Eric Knight, the only arranger to get the Boston Pops under Fiedler to swing to new heights, contributes an unforgettably boisterous account of "Lambada." The sound is full of punch and contrast. And Doc Severinsen plays in "Virgen" a marvelous soloistic stratospheric account. My advice is to buy this immediately. It's one hot album!

4 out of 5 stars Wonderful arrangements of music from all over the world........2001-10-26

Telarc and Eric Kunzel never fail to amaze at the quality of their selections.

Even tough some of the arrangements here have a little too much
fanfare at the start they are still great to listen to.

Most of these melodies you have heard them at least once in you life. And they are reproduced here with the Kunzel magic.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful collection of Music.......2001-10-26

A Beautiful collection of music from all over the world.
(latin world that is)

I little grandiose on some selections (that's kunzel) but GREAT nonetheless.

If you enjoy the sounds that the mighty Wurlitzer Pipe Organ can produce - you'll enjoy this album. George Wright is probably the best ever at mastering the multiple banks of keys and pedals of this complex instrument, and the music is very relaxing and entertaining. The sounds he coaxes out of the Wurlitzer on "Quiet Village" are remarkable. Easily one of his best - excellent on either a small office stereo, or played on a home theater system.

5 out of 5 stars Ebullient and multi-cultural!.......2002-11-17

A terrific recording by the Waverly Consort! Framed by differing arrangements of the Italian song "Ayo visto lo mappamundi" (I have seen the world map), the selections on this CD take the listener through Italy, Moorish Spain, the court of Ferdinand and Isabella, the harsh reality of the expelled Spanish Jews, and finally to the new world, where the thrill of discovery for the Spaniards was countered by the sorrow of the subjugated and slaughtered natives. The Moorish and Sephardic numbers are full of exotic eastern flair, enhanced by George Mgrdichian's sultry oud playing. Other instruments used include viol, recorder, lute, harp, gemshorn, organetto, citole, vihuela, hurdy-gurdy, saz, vielle, kemence, sacbut, shawm, flute, panpipes, cornamuse, dumbek and claves. The fine instrumentalists are complimented by a sextet of clear-voiced vocalists--two sopranos, countertenor, two tenors and bass, performing both as soloists and together. This richly varied program, arranged and selected by Kay and Michael Jaffee, has something for everyone, and all of it well done! For more music of early Spain, check out also the releases of Hesperion XX, Ensemble Accentus, and the CD "Los Ministriles: Spanish Renaissance Music" by Piffaro, the Renaissance Band.

5 out of 5 stars Stands Alone in My Collection.......2002-05-21

I own hundreds of albums, but nothing else like this one. Of all the albums I own, I particularly want to write about this little-known gem.

The premise of this album is to capture and present the mentality and mood throughout Europe during that time as shown through its music. And it succeeds!

This album is fantastic. I've owned it for years, and yet I still listen to it often. Together with a well written insert that tells the stories behind each piece, and the political backdrop behind each one, it takes you through the sense of wonder, fear and hope, that people felt at a time when the strange new world beyond the European continent was suddenly opening up to them, both foreboding and alluring.

It touches also upon several of the age-of-discovery issues, including religious conflicts with other cultures, the quest for wealth, the joy of expansion and the sorrow of loss. A once-provincial mentality was suddenly being replaced by an awareness of that mysterious "other-ness" out there, and this was being expressed in the music, brought so successfully through in this album.

The opening piece of this album is also its theme: Ayo visto lo mappamundi (I have seen the maps of the world). And this sets the stage for the rest of your voyage.

One favorite example I want to single out is a piece of Andalusian music that was written during (or shortly after) the time when Spain went from Moorish to Christian: in this amazing piece, we hear what at first sounds like Arabic music; after a few times you start to hear the new influence on Arabic music by the Medieval Europeans... and then finally, you realize that what you're hearing is that missing link which will soon become the phenomenon called "Flamenco!" And you'll feel a sense of discovery all your own.

Before their expulsion in 1492, the Jews of medieval Spain developed a rich and lively culture, including an exquisite repertory of songs called romanceros--and they kept that repertory alive as they settled in places as diverse as Morocco, Bosnia, Turkey, and Bulgaria. Lovely as the romanceros are, they would have languished as the objects of ethnomusicological studies and might have disappeared altogether, were it not for the efforts of gifted musicians like Hespèrion XX. Jordi Savall and his ensemble, fronted by the unique soprano Montserrat Figueras, just about single-handedly brought those songs to the attention of the modern public with this 1976 recording (now reissued at a bargain price). Disc 1 features a selection of secular music from "Christian" Spain--that is, the courts of Ferdinand and Isabella and the Catholic nobility. The music is elegant and occasionally austere, but Figueras, Savall, and colleagues give the livelier pieces a flavorful swing. Yet disc 2, which features the Sephardic songs, is the real drawing card here. It was in Moorish Spain that Jewish culture flourished, so Hespèrion XX performs the romanceros with Arabic instruments, such as the 'ud (the ancestor of the European lute) and hand drums. These musicians, rechristened Hespèrion XXI in honor of the new century, perform this repertory with more polish now than they did in 1976, but--just as A Feather on the Breath of God did for Hildegard von Bingen--this recording made its own little bit of musical history. --Matthew Westphal

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Like a religious experience.......2007-03-28

This disc is pure magic that transends and defies definition. It is time period music that has been rereleased to capture the magic of the original recording. Each song is amazing. The music creates a mood that is best enjoyed alone ,in private so that your thoughts can be elevated to the point of inspiration. Although I like both discs I prefer the one that features Sephardic Romances over the disc that is Court Music and Songs. Montserrat Figueras angelic voice lends itself to beautiful interpretations of these beautiful songs from the Age before the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492. This ancient music is preserved and freshly interpreted under the masterful leadership of Jordi Savall for an authentic recreation. If you have never heard Hesperion XX check this one out, it is fantastic. Recommended for classical music fans who want to hear something different. Once you hear Montserrat Figuerras voice you will feel the inspiration and be hooked on her angelic voice.

3 out of 5 stars Dissappointing soprano.......2006-02-22

I was excitet buying this CD, expecting the quality of songs equal or better than
Begona Olavide and Carlos Paniagua on MA recodings. The music was fine but singing by soprano Montserrat Figueras was borderline annoying.

5 out of 5 stars A balm for any soul.......2001-01-02

Attempting to review a Savall/Figueras CD is a frustrating task. The arsenal of superlatives is so quickly depleted. Terms like 'matchless' and 'unique' might be used, but lack strict definition. After all, a 'matchless' voice needn't be a good one. Terms like 'divine' or 'angelic' tend to remove Montserrat's singing from the real and human. She's nothing if not human. Having been blessed with watching as well as hearing her perform, vouching for her vitality on a stage is easy. But the superior quality of her voice and presentation is so far above the mundane or common as to become nearly indescribable. Anything less than adulation for her seems to indicate shortcomings in the disk or performer. Neither performance nor disk quality falls short here. That she performs religious songs here simply adds to the power of her impact on the listener. You necessarily hesitate, cease other activity, and, if moved enough, drop to your knees in respect and admiration. Tough to do in a crowded concert hall, but the motivation is there. And this from someone who shunned listening to vocal performances for many years. Dame Kiri was one exception and Argenta another, but the discovery of Figueras was the discovery of a voice without flaw.

Anyone visiting this page must certainly know of Jordi Savall and Hesperion XX. You may, however, have missed the glory of Montserrat Figueras' voice. Make up for that lack right away. The selections available here are pitifully limited, but this CD is as good an introduction as any. Don't hesitate to sit and enjoy this music. The sounds received will be a reward to whatever spiritual sense you possess.

5 out of 5 stars Ten stars if possible..........2000-01-27

I agree completely with Stephan: outstanding performance. Montserrat at her best. If "Si d'amor pena sentis" doesn't bring tears to your eyes, what does?

3 out of 5 stars Historical re-release.......1999-07-20

Hesperion XX were pioneers in reviving this music, and collectors will value these recordings which first came out in 1976. However most listeners may prefer more recent recordings by Wimmer on Naxos, and Alia Musica on Harmonia Mundi which have digital sound and include Spanish, and occasionally Hebrew, texts and translations.

5 out of 5 stars A great collection of 60's music.......2003-03-11

If you weren't a Bobby Fuller fan then you probably never heard any of his music. This CD will change your mind. It was like going back in the past and attending a High School dance. The music really rocked and was great for listening and dancing. Classic Rock and Roll that will bring back great memories of your teen years whether you knew Bobby's work or not.

5 out of 5 stars underrated,untamed youth.......1999-07-10

I've seen this one get less than stellar reviews,but I think it's a primo blast of early 60's rock.They mix rockabilly,surf, beat, and ballads in a way that maybe only the early Beatles equalled.Savage and subtle at the same time, a great document from a man that far eclipes the "one hit wonder" tag that has been wrongfully placed on him.

5 out of 5 stars Bobby Fuller Lives Again..all time great Rock N Roll.......1999-05-21

Pure West Texas rock n roll, what the Beatles were going for. It is timeless music, deserving of another round. Raw Bobby at his best, I highly recommend this CD for aspiring rockers and fans of real rock. This is where it came from. El Paso rocks, Bobby I miss you.

5 out of 5 stars Beware! two old CDs reissued with a new name.......2006-08-02

I bought this CD with great anticipation because I love Spanish music of this era. To my disappointment, this was not a new recording, but a reissue of two CDs I already own: "1492: Music from the Age of Discovery" and "Traveler." If you don't have these CDs already, this double set is a great bargain. But check your CD rack before buying!

5 out of 5 stars A reworking of a prior disc - but now with 2 CDs.......2006-01-27

I was pleased to see that one of my favorite CDs had not really gone out of print, but was reworked into this title and now with a bonus CD. Even though I own the original "Music from the Age of Discovery 1492", I'll probably buy this disc just for the extras. Very nice mood music, lots of variety, exotic instruments and lovely voices.

5 out of 5 stars perfect by candlelight or in the office.......2000-10-20

i've owned this CD for several years, and never tire of it. weather i'm curled up with a book, or just in the office with headphones on, it's appropriate for any occasion (outside a raucus party). i highly suggest it if you're interested in exotic, mystical, and festive tunes.
