Customer Reviews:

Alejandro Algara, Brindis al maestro.......2007-05-27

This is one of my favorite recordings, and I give it five-stars for several reasons. I particularly appreciate recordings by musicians who are intimately familiar with their repertoire. One must remember that these pieces are primarily boleros composed by the greatest bohemio of all time. So the "power" that modern vocalists bring to their renditions was probably not as important to Lara as it is to modern interpreters. In any case, the choice between vocalists of the caliber of Placido Domingo and Alejandro Algara comes down to taste. Both have the control, phrasing, diction, voice and talent (genius?) to do justice to the music. Of the two, I prefer Algara's interpretation of these pieces (a preference that does not necessarily apply to other recordings) because he interprets them like the love songs that they are. One must take the bitter with the sweet; these recordings were made in the 60's. That means that the technology is up not to current standards. By the same token, the recordings are not as cluttered with modern recording studio enhancements and filtering.

A good example of the early years of Agustin Lara.......2007-02-17

This one is hard to review, as it has some problems in the mix, I suspect in the actual soloist presentation with the orchestra being recorded first, but thats only a guess; I am no engineer. Even so, it gets 4 stars with me, as the beauty of Algara's voice holds up well, and the songs are important, like the very early Maria Bonita, and Imposible, as well as others. This album was done as a tribute, (of course, from the title..), to Lara, and it holds up well in that context, hence the honest 4 stars, instead of 3, but remember Algara is a lyric tenor, and doesn't sing with the power we have become used to with Domingo and Pavarotti. Still a nice offering, and probably worth the price if you like the traditional songs of Mexico, but Algara's two earlier recordings are better.
