Amazon.com essential recording

From his childhood on the family farm in rural Tuscany to the worldwide stage, Andrea Bocelli has achieved phenomenal success. His singing is only partially the point, and his fame owes much more to the aura of romance and the romantic archetype that's attached to him. Romanza is by far Bocelli's largest success, winning adoration thanks to the swooning vocals and the easy, sometimes lush, always pop-safe instrumental textures and melodies. As far as his opera chops go, Bocelli has won the approval of Pavarotti but likely will not wow enthusiasts. The upside is that Bocelli will likely grow the opera pie, convincing labels to take on more operatic projects. --Andrew Bartlett

5 out of 5 stars Bias I Confess.......2007-07-06

I confess to loving Italian music and opera in addition to Rock & Roll, Country and music in general.

This music is good when you want to relax or have a lady over 40 you want to entertain.

3 out of 5 stars An Italianized Englishman..........2007-06-01

Is the Devil incarnate." (Inglese italianato e un diavolo incarnate) Or so I've heard. I suppose the author (I read it in a copy of Machiavelli's The Prince) could be forgiven for not having heard Don Bocelli and Donna Brightman sing "Con Te Partiro" - can we now say Inglese italianata e un angelo incarnate?

The rest of the album is a collection of ballads, most of which suffer from weak or clashing instrumentals. An exception is "Macchine Da Guerra" which has a pleasant and comparatively strong piano accompaniment.

I'd like to thank Kenny McCormick of South Park, CO for turning me on to Don Bocelli.

5 out of 5 stars Romancing the listeners.......2007-05-30

What a voice, it soars with the arias and bops with the more contemporary. Especially love the song about Caruso. Andrea is un cantante bello, un uomo bello! Turn this one up with the top down and let it sing you home.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing!!!.......2007-05-18

I bought this cd again after losing my original copy that I bought the year it was released. Out of all my Bocelli cds this is my favorite. It has a good mix of classic opera with popera and really shows his abilities. I have used this cd to turn people on to opera and popera, and the results have been incredible! Once you hear him, you cannot deny his talent and passion. Simply AMAZING!!!

4 out of 5 stars Andrea in the 90's.......2007-04-20

Andrea is incredible.His romantic poetry with music is unparalleled.The only downside to this album is the inescapable 90's feel.If you don't mind it,then buy this album.If you do,then buy 'Time To Say Goodbye'off iTunes and get Sogno,Andrea,or Cieli di Toscana.

5 out of 5 stars Woo Hoo!.......2007-05-07

This is by far the best CD in the Baby Einstein collection--it will put your toddler in hyperactive playful mode and exhaust you as you try to keep up. But for today's overweight, tv- and game- addicted children, this is great!

5 out of 5 stars Einstein.......2007-04-09

Anything that has an Einstein in the title my twins love. I used to play this for them at night while they slept.

5 out of 5 stars The baby danced........2007-03-09

I gave Baby Einstein: Playtime Music Box to a little boy on his first birthday. He loves it and dances and dances to the music.

5 out of 5 stars A Lot of Fun for Playtime.......2006-01-04

This CD is a lot of fun. The music is bubbly and upbeat and makes you want to get up and dance or just jump around. It's a great way to spend some play time with your kids. And the classical music exposure is a bonus.

1 out of 5 stars Synthesized dreck.......2005-08-13

Why did the producers use synthesizers for this music? It's awful. It's possible to hook kids on classical music using the actual instruments written for it - that's how I got hooked. That's what Mel Blanc and Disney did in their cartoons, Bugs Bunny and Fantasia. I do NOT recommend this CD to anyone. It was a shower gift. If you are not familiar with classical music, then I recommend "Baby Needs Beethoven", which is a collection of music using real instruments (albeit shortened - no full length symphonies here).

"Casa" is the Portuguese word for "house." It's also the title of this melodic and moving tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim by the Oscar® and Grammy award-winning pianist-composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, Brazilian cellist Jaques Morelenbaum, and his vocalist wife, Paula. The Morelenbaums, who cofounded Quarteto Jobim-Morelenbaum, both worked with the maestro, and almost all of the tracks here were recorded in Jobim's Rio home. The CD contains fluid and florid renditions of bossa nova-era classics from the Jobim canon, from "Amor em Paz"--with Jobim's son Paulo on guitar--and "Bonita" to "Vivo Sonhando." It also unveils rare songs like "Chanson pour Michelle," a short and sweet composition written for a soap opera, and a never-before-heard work, "Tema para Ana," an intimate piano/cello duet. Sakamoto's spare and splendid pianisms ring from Jobim's piano. Morelenbaum's singing cello tones complement his wife's angelic Portuguese and English vocals. Together this talented trio--with occasional accompaniment by percussionist Marcos Suzano, guitarist Luiz Brasil, vocalist Ed Motta, and bassist Zeca Assumpçao--beautifully exposes the French influences of Satie, Ravel, and Chopin in Jobim's music. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

5 out of 5 stars Celestial music - .......2007-05-07

My Profile: 43 yo - no music qualifications whatsoever-

I got this fine cd last year in my first time in Buenos Aires.. though my trip was for widenning my musical horizons.. what can I said that has not been adequately commented by more knowledable reviewers than I?.. the music is serene, celestial, non-strident...he piano, the cello and that voice!! you know you are prividledged in life to have a chance to comtemplate on this type of beauty... whatever scars we have in the soul and body, take a moment to soothe yourself..

5 out of 5 stars Gentle Magic to Free Your Soul.......2007-03-28

I just love love love this CD. Everything about it is so artfully rendered, it takes my soul away to gently float free in a most beautiful place. Ms. Morelenbaun has a voice that, of all female vocals in the world, is often my most favorite to hear. Virtually no vibrato, just clean and clear exquisite and delicate classic femininity. Mr. Morelenbaum, Mr. Sakamoto and all supporting musicians provide the most sensitively interwoven instrumental skills that there could ever be; they perfectly ride, complement and contribute to the magical musical moment that is always now, in flowing pieces such as these. Of course, the ineffably beautiful heart and soul of the basic songs to start with are indispensible (thank you now and forever, o-most revered JC Jobim!). Honestly, this CD places in my top 10 of all time, especially now, in my more relaxed and gentle mature years... ;)

5 out of 5 stars Some of the Best Music ever!.......2007-02-03

I came by the Morelenbaums by 'A Day in New york'. It was love at first
sound. I checked out to see if anything else was available. I found 'Casa'
and immediately ordered it. It has been in my CD player since I got it.
This from a Classical music buff and a college music degree. This music
defies description (I do like bossa nova and Jobim especially). This group is so together, it sounds like the members know exactly what each
other is thinking. It is all so right that it appears precision and class
like this is not possible. Paula's voice has a simple (without vibrato) beauty that is mesmerizing. The arrangements are exquisite. The Cello and piano never over-do and the whole is something you must hear to believe. I can only add to this - GET IT!!

5 out of 5 stars jazzman.......2007-01-17

Absolutely fabulous renditions of Jobim. Paula's voice is so pure and
gentle, along with Jacques' cello gliding through the sketches. And the
pianist Sakamoto is perfect as well. I just love this cd. I quickly
obtained their other Jobim tribute cd "A Day in New York" (the Japanese
enhanced version with 5 bonus tracks), which is even further proof that
there is a musical heaven on earth. So sophistocated, cool, and gentle.
I eagerly await their next release. 5 million stars.

5 out of 5 stars absolutely amazing...........2006-01-16

So much to say about this wonderful recording. As I write this, there are 27 reviews posted for Casa and not one of them is less than 4 stars, with the vast majority as 5 stars. That speaks volumes in itself. But the quality of the words and the thought behind them is truly a tribute to Jobim. If we were all lucky enough to have him with us now, the words of these reviews would surely either make him smile or bring tears of joy to his eyes. This truly is music that soothes...reflects...and makes us all appreciate either finding it or being introduced to it by someone. Introduce only your best friends to this, those that would appreciate it as much as you and I do.

This is an accoustic live album. I saw Los Lobos earlier this year(07)in Baltimore. This album reminds me of that concert in both style and content. Lots of hispanic accoustic instruments in a traditional Mexican style. So this is a bit different than their more rock based albums. Most songs are in Espanol. An excellent CD begining to end.

5 out of 5 stars more wonderous with each passing year.......2006-11-13

Most of the reviewers have said (and better than I can) what makes this album so special. I remember having this on cassette and wearing it out. People who have no interest (and sometimes I can't blame them...) in classical music might grow fond of this if they give it a try. You don't need any kind of background or knowledge, just a willingness to open your heart and ears to something so sublime it is beyond words. Bach is our true musical spiritual leader!

5 out of 5 stars Pinnacle.......2005-10-24

I can't over-exaggerate the impact this album had on me when my Dad played it for me when I was about 6. It encouraged me to become a guitarist, and hearing it was my first truly profound musical experience that I can remember.

I love all kinds of music, but nothing has touched me like this album in the 19 years since then. Parkening's reading of Bach arranged for the classical guitar is flawless on this recording; no one, not even his mentor has matched it.

"Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring", "Sheep May Safely Graze" and especially "Sleepers Awake" are the best renditions of these songs that I've heard, regardless of the arrangement. His control and dynamics are just staggering.

I can't explain where this album or music came from. It's my absolute favourite album. It's part of human evolution and the continually unfolding Great Work.

5 out of 5 stars The Perfect Storm.......2005-04-07

The are times when the musician, the composer, and the instrument just match perfectly; this disc is an example of that.

Nevermind that Bach never wrote a single note for the guitar, many of his pieces actually work better on the guitar than they would the clavier. The guitar provides much more opportunity for the musician to impart emotion by varying volume and tone. And Parkening capitalizes on that opportunity beautifully.

His playing is clean, thoughtful, and competent. This is, in my opinion, clearly Parkening's best recording. I highly recommend it. (I also recommend his In the Spanish Style, another of my favorites).

5 out of 5 stars Parkening Play Bach and Plays Him Stunningly!.......2005-02-18

I have loved this recording for over 20 years. I had it on vinyl and was thrilled when it was released in 1985 onto CD along with 6 extra cuts. Originally a Bach interpretive LP of 10 tracks, the CD release added 6 compositions from Couperin, Handel, Weiss, Scarlatti and Visee.

This is now a rare recording, so get it while you can. It's peaceful, highly skilled and simply Christopher Parkening, playing bare and alone, and shining like the sterling musician he is!

5 out of 5 stars Masterpiece.......2003-09-24

The music of J. S. Bach seems to bring out the best in Christopher Parkening. Mr. Parkening understands Bach, and plays his music with grace, intelligence and sensitivity. He displays those qualities magnificently on this collection.

The selections here represent a wide variety of Bach pieces: portions of cantatas, solo cello works, and pieces from the Well-Tempered Clavier. All of the pieces are transcribed skillfully for solo guitar, and every track flows naturally into the next. Standouts among the Bach pieces include "Sheep May Safely Graze" and "Sleepers Awake"--two meditative cantata selections which were so brilliantly arranged and performed that you'd almost think they were originally written for guitar.

And the additional baroque works presented here are not just "filler." Mr. Parkening gives stunning performances of great pieces composed by baroque giants like Handel, and he closes the recording in great style, with a passionate performance of Scarlatti.

Music doesn't get more enjoyable than this.

5 out of 5 stars Ballet .......2007-07-01

I was away for a long time. I feel very better now. I love this music and I am grateful to it.

5 out of 5 stars Masterful recording of masterful compositions.......2007-01-19

This recording has become rare to find (in Europe), which surprises me, for I find both the compositions and the performance excellent. Especially the Sylphides, which are orchestral arrangements of some of Chopin's finest piano pieces - are heavenly. Highly recommended.

4 out of 5 stars Ballet bon bons German style.......2004-06-26

Herbert von Karajan was the most recorded conductor in history. For that reason, he made a lot of records (that turned into CDs) like this one -- collections of well-known music that the public wants to hear over and over again. This group of ballet music is good, done in Karajan's typical highly chiseled style with a minimum of sentimentality. I once read a critic who called the style Karajan and Szell popularized the "school of industrial perfection", meaning every note in its place every time. That's true here, too. My favorite among these bon bons is the Tchaikovsky music from "Sleeping Beauty". Karajan is still hailed today for his later stereo version of the final Tchaikovsky troika of symphonies. Many critics put him up there with the best Tchaikovksy recordings ever. You can tell why critics were so persuaded by listening to his bleeding chuncks from "Sleeping Beauty". Not only does it contain the essential Berlin Philharmonic perfection and polish, it goes a little further than everything else on this set in terms of emotional attachment. The first two sections of the music, "Introduction. La Fee da Lilas" and "Adagio. Pas d'action" pack an enormous wallop. The final section is monumentally done by Karajan and the Berliners, surging forward in waves of sound and emotion until the listener is swept away during the crescendo in almost unconscious grandeur. I urge you to listen to this magnificent music-making and try not to develop goose flesh at the peak. This connection between perfection, music and emotion is what set Karajan apart from every other conductor in the 20th Century, and the reason he is as vivid and a larger than life figure today, 15 years after his death.

5 out of 5 stars First-Rate Ballet Music.......2003-11-14

This collection of "Famous Ballet Music" from DG's mid-priced "2CD" series is truly first-rate. A lot of the credit for that goes to the man in charge of this set, Herbert von Karajan. The great conductor leads the Berlin Philharmonic through glowing highlights and suites from Offenbach's "Gaite Parisienne," Gounod's "Faust," Tchaikovsky's "Sleeping Beauty" and Delibes' "Coppelia," and the complete Chopin's "Les Sylphides" and "Dance of the Hours" from Ponchielli's "La Gioconda." Of course, the pieces featured here are the types of orchestral nuggets that someone like Karajan and the Berliners could eat for breakfast while reading the paper. But Karajan really prided himself in being one of the stereo-age's best Tchaikovsky conductors, and he made several recordings of each of the three ballet suites in addition to his many Symphonic Cycles. Also, his early 1960s accounts of the Chopin and Delibes in particular (the remainder of the works were recorded in the early 1970s), are as good, if not better, than any performance I have heard. In all, this is a collection that will appeal to the casual fan and serious collector alike.

4 out of 5 stars A large sampling of Stravinsky's piano music........2005-03-04

I bought this cd primarily for "Movements for Piano and Orchestra", a short piece (about 9 minutes) using the 12 tone serial technique developed by Arnold Schoenberg. It is intriguing to hear the "neo-classicist" Stravinsky write in this style. To my ears, and I'm a fan of 12 tone, no new ground is broken here by Stravinsky (the piece was written in 1958-9, seven years after Schoenberg's death) but it's a good piece. The rest of the works are tonal.

I'm not knowledgable as to whether this cd contains all Stravinsky's piano compositions but there is a lot here. Michel Beroff is a fine pianist and the recorded sound is very good. The liner notes are lacking but I've come to expect that from "bargain" classical cds.

This is a two cd package. For $12, I'm very glad to have this set in my collection.

One of Latino Rock's hottest acts is recorded live, stadium style, with screaming fans and all the ambience of a major rock event--which is what this is. The only difference between Maná and a Police concert is that Maná is in español. Armed with their own original material and shuffling pop reggae beats, Maná prove they are every bit as good as their source of inspiration, not just on record but also on stage. They have enough thematic twists of their own to avoid any criticism as a "knock off" act, and have built a following that marks them as the heirs apparent to Selena's pop crown. World Music fans may be dismayed at this blatant assimilation of western pop culture, but this excellent recording proves that this group has hit rock's Big Time--on their own terms. --Derek Rath

5 out of 5 stars Awesome CD.......2006-03-30

These guys are great live. I've been to 2 of their shows on different tours and in different countries, and the sound is incredible. Had this been an english-singing rock and roll band, this CD would be among the classics like Frampton Comes Alive and The Song Remains the Same. The way the fans respond to the songs just gives this CD such a great feeling to it. It reminds me of the way fans cheer at a Pink Floyd Concert the second the realize "Wish You Were Here" is beginning. And not to mention the songs are great songs. So don't let the language barrier get in the way. Get this CD now!, and the sample music here on Amazon does not do the disc justice. try it out.

5 out of 5 stars Maná gives my life momemtum.......2005-05-22

I admire Maná for having put moving and meaningful lyrics to such attractive accompaniment. Maná is my favorite band of all time, and I have spent the past 5 years with this CD and others of Maná, listening to them nearly once per week since I bought them in September, 2000.

5 out of 5 stars Mana-En Vivo.......2003-03-07

Purest Mana, right before the addition of current guitarist Sergio Vallin, but it doesn't sound at all stripped down or bare. Mana's live performances are incredible, and this CD is a true testament to that. The music went straight from show to CD, no added engineering. Pure, raw energy as only Mana can give you. A must-have if you are a diehard Mana fan, a gotta-get-it if you are new to Mana.

5 out of 5 stars Mana :).......2002-09-21

Mana, this cd is live as u can see. This cd was done in 1994 infront of millions of people. Mana gave there voice to the fans. Thsi cd's u get to hear the emotions that mana makes to there fans. Mana was raced as kind of hard but now they are on the top. Its a great Cd.

5 out of 5 stars Mana En Vivo.......2002-01-06

The voice and rhythm of this band can compare itself to the famous Peter Frampton Alive. Not only does this band employs the Caribbean sounds of marimbas and its incomparable rhythm it actually deploys the purity of soft rock with the hard rock instruments making an extreme pleasurable listening experience. Every elevator should carry this album in their repertoire. I am sure would spend hours going up and down any building.

You must have this album, you must listen Daniela Mercury e Ivete together, they are great!

5 out of 5 stars The Best 'Ivete' Starter!! Also buy the DVD, it's worth it!!.......2007-04-24

This was the first album I bought of Ivete Sangalo, and I became instantly addicted. EVERY SINGLE SONG was out of this world!!! It's one of the few cds that I can say from start to finish, it is a winner. She has such incredible stage presence, her fans adore her, and so do people all over the world. Some of the highlights: Eva/Medeley, A Lua Que eu te Dei, Flor do Reggae, Chupa Toda com Gilberto Gil, all of them are so great! That cd didn't leave my stereo for months. It's high energy, and can make you feel awesome, no matter how bad your day was---muito bom!

5 out of 5 stars Be in Brazil--virtually.......2006-10-10

This is a truly FUN live concert album;the crowd sings along,cheers,musicians improvise.One feels as if one is in Salvador,the capital of Bahia in northeastern Brazil.

Ivete Sangalo,who I first heard on Putumayo's out-of-print compilation "Festa Brasil"(in the song "Monsieur Samba")is a real discovery.Everybody's heard of Bebel Gilberto,Astrud Gilberto,and now Cibelle.Ivete Sangalo is tremendously talented.She's a former model like Natalie Imbruglia&Kylie Minogue,but unlike the both of them,she can ACTUALLY sing.She sings at many Brazilian carnivals.

"MTV Ao Vivo" is a very joyous album.The opening medleys bring you in.There are thoughtful slower numbers mixed in like "Faz Tempo" and "A lua q eu t dei".Highlights include "Chica Chica Boom Chic" and "De Ladinho." This live album is an excellent introduction to Brazilian music,or for those bored with current American pop music (such as that on American MTV).If you're interested into Brazilian pop,this album is for you!

5 out of 5 stars Buy the DVD instead.......2006-09-30

This is high-energy, Brazilian/carnaval dance music that will leave you very happy. Warning: This is the music equivalent of a double macchiato. Its side-effects include the creation of an intense desire in listener to visit Brazil to experience Carnaval for him or herself.

As aluded to by others, however, there are important songs -- namely duets -- which appear on the DVD but were left off of the CD, such as "Arere". If money is an issue, I recommend buying the DVD, which is more comprehensive and permits the viewer to watch the concert with English subtitles -- a useful tool for those of us who do not speak Portugese but would like to know what Ms. Sangalo is singing about.

5 out of 5 stars Off your feet.......2005-07-20

This cd will have you off your feet dancing! I like to listen to it while I clean the house, get's you moving! The only thing I didn't like was one of the songs that I wanted to hear wasn't on the cd. It's on the live performance of this cd though, with a young girl and guy duet.

4 out of 5 stars Very interesting live performance.......2005-12-20

English and spanish Overview:
- English: Silvio and Pablo Milanes, are the 2 most importants singers for the Nueva Trova Cubana movement. On this disk, the quality of the sound is very good for a recording like this, and the additional argentinien singers perform very well also. Although those two singers may have about 30 discs each one, the selection here is still interesting, with some of the most popular songs from both. If you like either Silvio, Pablo, or both, and want all the discs in your collection, then buy this one. If you don't have this one, you won't miss too much this record. It has pretty much the same musical structure arrengments than the original songs, with 2 exceptions, Ojala y Oleo de Mujer con sombrero.
Spanish: Este disco tiene una seleccion de canciones acertada, diria yo, tomando el larguisimo numero de canciones que tienen Silvio y Pablo. Musicalmente, creo que no aporta mayor cosa, pero si tienes que tener todas las versiones de todas las canciones, pues compralo, no te arrepentiras, aunque no estara en tu lista de favoritos, creo yo, porque no tiene mayor valor agregado. Los cantantes invitados argentinos cantan una cancion cada uno, con resultados variados.

5 out of 5 stars Breathtaking.......2005-07-27

La rendicion vocal de Silvio Rodriguez en "Por quien merece
amor" junto a su inmortal guitarra es mi pieza favorita de
este hermoso y conmovedor cd. Como el nadie pero Pablo
Milanes te despierta del sueno con su propia propuesta igual
de digna. Los argentinos Leon Gieco, Victor Heredia y demas
completan la mision de volver a los oyentes pedazos. Altamente
recomendado.
