Customer Reviews:

The most noble voice.......2004-05-28

Victoria de los Angeles' voice not only has a silken quality and fascinating glow to it but it is one of the most regal, noble sounds you'll ever hear. She illuminated those moments of quietness, gentleness and noble, feminine pride and elegance like no other soprano before and after her. This release of her "Spanish Songs" has never been surpassed. The songs of her homeland seem to have been written for her beautiful instrument alone, she fills every piece with special beauty and charm, religious flair and beautiful, noble simplicity. Buy this recording and see why Victoria is one of the best sopranos ever having come from Spain.

PURCHASE THIS JEWEL WHILE YOU CAN.......2002-01-08

FOR A LONG TIME "SONGS OF SPAIN" HAS BEEN MY FAVORITE ALBUM OF CLASSICAL, POPULAR, SECULAR AND RELIGIOUS (CHRISTIAN AND SEPHARDIC) SPANISH SONGS. DE LOS ANGELES DEFIES A RIVAL IN THIS GENRE. DE LARROCHA, SORIANO AND ZANETTI PROVIDE UNEQUALED ACCOMPANIEMENTS. THE RECORDINGS ARE SECOND ONLY TO LIFE PERFORMANCES. I UNDERSTAND THAT EMI INTENDS TO TAKE THIS SET OUT OF PUBLICATION. PURCHASE THIS JEWEL WHILE YOU CAN! I JUST PURCHASED MY THIRD SET FROM AMAZON AND I TREASURE IT AS MUCH AS MY FIRST!

luminous artistry from a genius.......2000-12-26

the vocal artist of vocal artistsdisplays her absolutely gorgeous voice and musical understanding of spanish feeling with a warmth that is unmatched anywhere.the only thing better was to hear her in person!

A special Dignity and an Unfailing Beauty of Voice........2000-09-17

This set offers four generously-filled CDs comprising almost 140 Spanish songs from Victoria de los Angeles' repertoire. To all of them she brings a special dignity and an unfailing beauty of voice. The earliest recordings date from 1950 and the last is the items she sang at the opening of the Barcelona Olympics in 1992. Yes, you will find the ubiquitous "Clavelitos!" here, and a later version of "La maya el ruisenor" from "Goyescas". The enclosed booklet provides illuminating notes by Lionel Salter, who also translated many of the texts which are also included. Accompanists include Gerald Moore and Alicia de Larrocha, and Victoria de Los Angeles provides a guitar accompaniment herself in one song. The last track of all, a zapateado from a zarzuela, recorded live in New York, must almost have brought the house down.

The word "fabulous" seems vulgar when applied to the Spanish diva whose delicately shaded voice encompassed music from the middle ages to the present. This four-disc compilation emphasizes her song repertoire, to which she brought warmth, intelligence, linguistic integrity and irresistible sincerity. Her dignity makes listeners want to come to her, and she rewards them with an intimate, personal experience, especially in this small-scale repertoire by Ravel, Debussy, Duparc, Fauré, lots of Spanish composers and German masters such as Schubert and Brahms. --David Patrick Stearns

Awesome musicality.......2006-07-26

This 4-CD set is a tribute to the concert career of the great Victoria de Los Angeles. The first 3 CDs show her totally at home in the art song of France and of her native Spain. In the French art songs, her silvery, creamy tone, her legendary legato and her perfect French diction make for wonderful and unforgettable performances. These include a sensual Scheherazade, magnificient singing in the Duparc songs and a phenomenal Poeme de L'amour et de la mer of Chausson (try to keep your eyes dry by the end of La mort de l'amour). In the Chausson, while de Los Angeles does not opt for the intensely Wagnerian approach, her sensitive singing more than does justice to the poetry and the feelings of the character. The Spanish songs showcase de Los Angeles at her most natural, flamboyant and attractive singing. The tunes are catchy, full of bouncy rhythms and De Los Angeles's fabulous voice never ceases to amaze. The 4th CD shows the wonderful chemistry between de Los angeles and the great Gerald Moore. While she does not erase memories of Fischer-Dieskau and Schwarzkopf in the Schubert selections, the Brahms songs are excellent and her Faure songs here are earth shaking in their elegance and refinement. The Italian and the famous Handel aria helps to prove De Los Angeles's reputation as an excellent bel canto singer. Her duets with Fischer-Dieskau are absolutely memorable and gorgeous.
The set comes with booklet including full words plus translations, helpful notes on De Los Angeles's concert career and a dozen of beautiful and rare black and white photos. Victoria de Los Angeles's concert career was as prolific as her legendary operatic performances and continued well after her retirement from the operatic stage. This introspective and almost encycopledic release is a real treat and is absolutely recommended. I totally agree with the editor's review who states that the word "fabulous" fails in every respect to fully capture the artistry of the Spanish soprano. Victoria de Los Angeles is definitely one of the most wonderful lyric sopranos of the 20th century and is one of the most heavenly artists to have ever graced the concert scene. A must-have for any collection.

Fabulous? Yes!!!.......1999-09-13

The album is a marvelous sampling of this great singer's artistry. Her performances of the French and Spanish composers are something special. The De Falla "Seven Popular Folksongs" are powerful, passionate; the last song, "Jota," raised the hair on the back of my neck.

I was delighted to see Faure's "Claire de lune" on the album, and equally delighted with De Los Angeles' elegant rendition of this work. The only recording of the song I've liked better is from an LP featuring Frederika Von Stade.

As an added bonus, several duets with the great baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau are featured on Disk #4. These include some charming settings of Irish songs by Beethoven, and a gorgeous arrangement of "Let Us Wander" by Henry Purcell. I remember hearing these duets years ago on an LP recording, and it was a pleasure to hear them again.

Stunning Performances, Superb Quality.......2005-06-07

If you had never before heard of the composers represented on this disc – de Milanes, Marin, Hidalgo, Martin y Coll, Durón, Cabanilles, del Vado – you may be excused: late 17th century Spanish composers do not feature widely in today’s concert programs! But Jordi Savall and his team (here consisting of his wife Monserrat Figueras together with Ton Koopman, Hopkinson Smith and Christophe Coin, all famous soloists in their own right) were determined to demonstrate that Spain was not the musical wilderness which it is sometimes represented as being and recorded (in September 1976, at the Protestant Church in Séon in Switzerland) this selection of excerpts from “zarzuelas” and secular songs of the period. As Tess Knighton points out in her notes, the Spanish music of the period was heavily influenced by what was going on in the rest of Europe, especially Italy and France, but it is still possible to recognize a certain Spanish style; in this respect, she compares Spain with England.

The program, originally released on EMI as an LP, is rather brief – a mere 47 minutes – but this is balanced by its superb quality. The young Montserrat Figueras gives stunning performances of the vocal pieces, the purity and clarity of her voice, the delightfulness of her ornamentation and the authenticity of her diction all contributing to some fascinating listening. And all this is complemented by some glorious instrumentals, amongst which Ton Koopman’s harpsichord pieces by Cabanilles deserve special mention. This is a digitally remastered analogue recording, but the audio sound quality is better than that of many digital recordings: there is absolutely no hissing or other noise, and there is a fulness of detail here which does the engineers proud. Virgin Classics deserve much praise for this re-issue and that of other early Hespérion XX recordings.

Hesperion XX,an ensanble of first class soloists.......2000-03-24

This is a great recording by Hesperion XX. Jordi Savall,called for an ensanble of first class instrumentalists.Some of the most prominent scholars,perform in this recording.

Montserrat's voice casts a seductive spell,Viva Diva!!!!.......2006-04-06

Montserrat Caballe is the voice of all ages.She continues to bring joy to millions around the world.This latest recording finds caballe in lovely voice,with plenty of lush pianissimos.While I was listening to this album I felt immersed into a very spiritual atmosphere,that nearly carried me out of my body.I realised this peaceful music with caballe's ethereal singing was levitating me closer to the pearls of spanish mysticism.
I will treasure this 24 bit recording for the rest of my life!

Beautiful singing from Caballe's later years.She was in her late 60s during the recording of this beautiful little gem of spanish renaissance songs!Highly reccomended to all who love the ethereal voice of montsy and/or intrigued by early spanish music!

'Spirit and music, song and instrument...'.......2005-05-22

The heart of this collection of Spanish Renaissance canciones is the enduring musical presence of Montserrat Caballe, whose vivifying art spans the second half of the twentieth century like a colossus. I can think of few artists who better exemplify the humility required to consistently reveal art as an essential component of human progress. Caballe, among them all, is the complete humanist, the complete artist. Who can afford not to be grateful for these things?

She sings accompanied only by the intriguing vihuela de mano, masterfully played by Manuel Cubedo. Fittingly used for these musical gems of renaissance Spain, this stringed instrument possesses a complex intonation conformed to the human voice. The CD notes hold another gem - an essay (printed in three languages) by Cesar Rodriguez Campos, called "The Enraptured Spirit: Song and Vihuela de mano in the 16th Century", an informative addition to a compelling disc. The Spanish text of each song is also provided.

Caballe's genial musical majesty pervades every track. Those elements of her art that inform and transcend the operatic canon, are present here, refined to mystical simplicity and pleasure: the artist in her native tongue, lissome ornamentation, serious preparation and scholarship. What emerges is a portrait of the artist as carriage of the spiritual. So, this is a transforming recording. You can say this is Montserrat after opera. I think the arc of her art extends even to these delicacies. Only one whose gifts replenished the operatic art's true conformation, as being one that must rest upon the human voice alone as on an unchangable foundation, could create a recording as revealing as this one. Recommended.

"Great" she may be, BUT ABSOLUTELY NOT in this repertory!!.......2005-05-07

I'm really not sure what this recording (or should I say this series) is getting at...

Presumably, Montserrat Caballe had either lost enthusiasm for playing endless operatic divas, felt she had lost her youthful agility and technique (resorting to "easier"[?] music), or perhaps even wanted to exhibit a sense of patriotism by showing that - yes - Spain had an equivalent to the German Lieder tradition (albeit an earlier one).

But just who is this recording aimed at...? Are seasoned Caballe fans really interested in music from 15th and 16th century Spain...? Are passionate early music listeners - familiar with this repertory from the numerous infinitely superior recordings available - really wanting to hear a fruity and unashamedly operatic interpretation of this repertoire...? Indeed the most irritating feature of this recording is the sheer arrogance with which these performances are presented. No performer, no matter how great or experienced, is appropriate for every type of music. Would Emma Kirkby be a suitable Carmen in Bizet's renowned Opera...? Would Ella Fitzgerald be appropriate for a recital of Wolf's 'Italienisches Liederbuch', or Michael Jackson for Schubert's 'Die Winterreise'...? I think not. Suffice to say that there is not a single scrap of evidence which could be called upon to justify Caballe's wobbly style in this music...

And of course, it would all perhaps be infinitely more acceptable if both she and her accompanist could at least attempt to sing and play in tune. Caballe's intonation is decidedly unreliable; indeed, she is often flat as a pancake, and in certain tracks completely off-key (try track 19 for starters). Perhaps this is partially the result of her dire accompanist, who is quite simply one of the most abysmal vihuela players I've EVER heard (and not a patch on exponents like Rolf Lislevand, Jose Miguel Moreno and Xavier Diaz-Latorre). If you're looking for a recording to shatter the myth that opera singers are better than early music singers, THIS most definitely is it. Personally, I believe she should stick to her dying diva roles. Indeed, looking at the photograph on the back of the CD (in which she wears pastiche "Elizabethan" frocks), one could believe she has just walked out of a production of Donizetti's 'Maria Stuarda' - she certainly sounds like she has...
