5 out of 5 stars Very Catchy.......2007-07-23

Although way overplayed in Mexico like so many pop songs, "Me Muero" really caught my attention when I saw the music video with masked Mexican wrestlers. I thought it was crazy to have something like that in the video for a love song, but it really makes sense when you think about how she's saying the world is wrong (about the masked wrestler?).
Since buying the CD, all the songs, especially "Tu Peor Error," have really been growing on me. The other songs also add some great lyrics to think about such as the line in "Ahora Que Te Vas" where she says she will dream in black and white if he leaves or how he's left her no option but to tear off her skin and bear the pain in "Para No Decirte Adios." I also really liked "Que Fui Para Ti" because it showcases Natalia's amazing voice so well. Natalia....
The only problem I have with the CD is that most of the songs later in the disc start to sound the same. Perhaps I just haven't listened to it enough, but they just aren't as distinctive as the first few songs.

5 out of 5 stars Pure talent, really good........2006-12-17

I really enjoy listening to this group because of several things. I really like the idea of the dramatic lyrics such as "no me dejaste otra opcion que arrancarme la piel y aguantar el dolor" (you didn't give me a choice but to tear my flesh and bear the pain) on "PARA NO DECIRTE ADIOS" or "ahora que te vas yo te guardo un sentimiento porque se que no es correcto dejar nuestra vida atras. Ahora que te vas, ahora que te veo marchar, antes debo confesarte que has dejado un plato sucio en tu lugar" (now that you're leaving I still keep a feeling beacuse I know that isn't right leave our lives behind. Now that you're leaving, now that I see you walk away, before that I must confess that you left a dirty dish on your place) on "AHORA QUE TE VAS" I really feel Natalia giving her best on lines like this. Then Natalia's voice is very good, she has a great voice and she performs flawlessly.
I really liked "FLORES DE ALQUILER" their previous album that made them known and gave them the international success that they they needed to continue with their career. "EL MUNDO SE EQUIVOCA" follows the same direction and has the same quality. The first single "TU PEOR ERROR" is a great song that had been a big success along Latin America, Spain and the U.S.
From my point of view the best songs are "TU PEOR ERROR", "AHORA QUE TE VAS", "PARA NO DECIRTE ADIOS", "NADA" and "COSA DE DOS". Check the album it is really very good.

Great authentic Mariachi music by the best.

5 out of 5 stars excellent !.......2005-05-20

This is one of the best albums of mariachi music I ever owned, I carry it with me to play it on the subway, and in my car. Most of the songs are popular, but it's still wonderful to listen. thier intereptation of Besame Mucho is still the best, and this song has been sang by almost everybody who can sing. I especially love La Malaguena, Las Mananitas and Cucurrucu Paloma. This CD is a delight, a must have for evert music fan.

1 out of 5 stars mariachi lite.......2005-04-28

bought this on recommendation of other online reviewers...sorry i did...far too much orchestration for my tastes.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2003-12-09

If you are only going to own one CD of Mariachi music, then do your pocketbook a favor & purchase this CD. Its the best CD put out by the 4th Generation line-up, as it contains the best versions of most of the music interpreted here (La Malaguena, Son de la Negra, etc.,). As a side note, Vargas has issued several CDs since this one that have not made it through the distribution channels in the U.S. or Mexico! One of these albums, Penas-Desenganos y Amores, has the version of "El Cascabel" from the PBS special "Mariachi Spirit of Mexico" It is a real shame/loss if the greatest Mariachi cannot get distributed. You can listen to clips from that CD on the Marichi Vargas website www.mariachivargas.com.mx - if you enjoy it then please join me in sending an e-mail to Amazon customer service to request the CD.

5 out of 5 stars A rich Mariachi experience........2002-07-05

Beautiful vocals backed by rich instrumental accompaniment. An authentic Mariachi experience. If I were to have only one CD of Mariachi music, this would be it.

5 out of 5 stars The best pasodobles.......2007-04-24

Originally conceived as music for La Fiesta Brava or bullfight, the pasodobles presented here by Mariachi Vargas are some of the best within their genre. Whether you love the music of the bullfight or are into ballroom dancing the pasodoble has a catching and infectous, unique style. Filled with emotion the songs sing of passion and evoke the strongest feelings. Seven of the songs are written about famous bullfighters beginning with the "Lorenzo Garza", "Juan Silveti", the great Spaniard "Carlos Arruza", "Capetillo", "Fermin", "Curro Venzor" and the recently departed great Mexican "Silverio" Perez. The homage to La Fiesta Brava and it's best proponents is a thing of beauty. The songs are quite famous amongst aficionados of bullfighting and most recently given new life by ballroom dancing. Not being into ballroom dancing I was surprised to hear pasodobles being used on a television show my wife was watching and had to take a peak. I was surprised but the music does lend itself to dancing quite well. This explains why this is the top selling mariachi disc at Amazon as of this writting. I am sure Maraich Vargas is quite pleased now even though this vintage release was not intended for ballroom dancing but rather for aficionados of La Fiest Brava. Mariachi Vargas is arguably the best mariachi group in the world and you can't go wrong with these interpretations. The arrangements are the best as are the chosen musicians. If you are in the Mariachi Vargas it is because you are the best at what you do. I would recommend this disc for anyone into ballroom dancing or if you just like mariachi or La Fierta Brava.

5 out of 5 stars Classic Mariachi.......2004-01-27

Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan are known as the best mariachi in the world, and it is definitely for a reason. The musicianship is tight, with all of the guitars, trumpets, and strings executed perfectly and beautifully. The beauty, quality, and precision of this recording is so well-executed that one could very well mistake the songs for being performed by an entire orquestra (as opposed to what is really an ancient folk ensemble)! That being said, one must understand a little bit about the pasodoble before really understanding the album. Pasodobles are Spanish marches that traveled to Latin America during the existence of the vast Spanish empire. It thrived in many different Spanish colonies, particularly those in which the old Spanish tradition of bullfighting was popular; however, both bullfighting and the pasodoble became extremely prolific in Mexico. Today, the pasodoble exists as both the traditional music for bullfights as well as a type of song used for ballroom dancing. The songform itself is very interesting; it seems to be a fusion of North African/Moorish melodies with western rhythms and instrumentation. It is particularly beautiful when played by a mariachi ensemble, of which it seems almost made for. In fact, most mariachi groups include at least a few pasodobles in their sets. The song "Lorenzo Garza" makes a perfect introduction to the album, functioning as a strong beckon to the listener. "Por Tapatias" boasts an impressive opening trumpet, and the famous "Juan Silveti" is perhaps the most exciting song on the album, with it's slightly brooding mood. Also, "La Machicha" is a nice addition as well, as it is perhaps one of the "cutest" pasodobles ever composed. Of course, this is all made possible by the capable hands of the world-renown Mariachi Vargas. For a good taste of old Mexico, this is an excellent album of beautiful and exciting music, and a wonderful addition to the many excellent recordings of Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan. Classic mariachi in its entirety!

5 out of 5 stars Jorge does it again!.......2006-11-30

Jorge Celedon is the biggest artist in vallenato at the moment and has been for the last few years. His new album is just as good as Juepa Je!... in fact it's better, he is experimenting even more.

What makes vallenato stand out for me are the gorgeous melodies of the songs. Jorge does beautiful melodies better than anyone else at the moment and it's why he is king.

Also the accordion by Jimmy Zambrano is gorgeous and he plays beautifully.

Celedon is also one of the few vallenato artists who have crossed over and has a fan base in non-vallenato circles as well. He is one of the biggest artists in Colombia at the moment. His first single from this album "Todo No Puede LLamarse Amor" is a duet with salsero Victor Manuelle and it's currently sitting at No 2 on the Colombian singles chart.

I also really love the ballads El Que Todo Por Ti Arriesgo, Todo Por Nada (he has plenty of string backing on this one), and Mi Poema. Mi Poema also has a bonus Acoustic version (with only Jorge and a piano) which is beautiful and shows just how beautiful these melodies are.

I recommend this album to all latinos regardless of what music you prefer. There is too much good latin music from all over Latin America to be restricting yourself. I am an Australian Spanish/Peruvian and love my musica de Latino America.

If you love Carlos Vives or Fonseca, then I think you will like this album. Celedon is a more purist form of vallenato than the before-mentioned two. Also while they concentrate on more up-tempo numbers Celedon does more slower tempo numbers.

PS: I don't know why they have the album as being a live album... it is not a live album at all... it is a studio album.

5 out of 5 stars Great job, but thank you, no........2007-01-16

Excellent performances and recording. It demonstrates beautifully how an 'Italian Tenor' works. If you are interested in this period, it's a definite keeper. I found too many of the cuts to be uninteresting, but that's the composers' doings; not the performers. Just not my 'cuppa tea' as far as many cuts go. Five stars on the performances and the recording.

5 out of 5 stars Jordi Savall NEVER FAILS to deliver!.......2006-05-01

This cd is no exception. After hearing track 10, Canarios, on public radio i immediately purchased the album. To my surprise each and ever cut is a jewel. Buy it ...let it take you to faraway sundrenched places filled with exotic perfume, spices, and the most beautiful sounds which will guarantee a spark of joy.... an artistic and gorgeous album!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent, as usual.......2002-01-24

I have heard all of the Alia Vox releases and am hard pressed to recommend one over the other. "Ostinato" can proudly stand alongside the earlier releases; it's absolutely terrific with ingenious arrangements and more than exciting performances. My only complaint concerns Pachelbel's Kanon and Gigue. Perhaps I'm overly critical due to the overexposure this piece has been subjected in the last quarter century, but Savall and company take it at such a clip that it threatens (though doesn't quite succeed) in sapping it of its charm. Though I don't care for lethargic (read romantic) tempos where this piece is concerned, I also don't care for breakneck speeds in the guise of authenticity. However, this is too minor a complaint to even be taken into serious consideration. The recorded sound is ample and warm with just the right amount of reverberation to expand and not overwhelm these delightful miniatures.

5 out of 5 stars Musical Profile of a King's Life? Sure. Why not?.......2006-11-21

That is essentially the 'theme' of the CD. Thus it is not all 'Spanish' music per se but a collection including some old chestnuts from other lands. All that said, it is a superb collection and even the old chestnuts have new life breathed into them given the masterful treatment dished out here. The theme of 'Mille Regretz' appears over and over and we learn, read the notes!, that is is connected personally with Carlos V. Almost a personal theme from a 16th C. soundtrack as it were. A delightful recording.

5 out of 5 stars The life of an emperor in music.......2006-07-23

This is a wonderful pot-pourri of European music from the first half of the sixteenth century - reflecting the pan-European origins of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain. One of the chief delights of the disc is the consort singing of the male voices of La Capella Real. Savall now uses male altos in the vocal pieces by Enzina (and others) in the upper registers, rather than female sopranos (principally that of his wife, Montserrat Figueras) as he did in his 90's recordings with Astree. The results are perfect; altos Carlos Mena and Pascal Bertain make an abiding impression here, with Capella regular Danile Carnovich holding up the bass clef. Figueras takes the cantus in the monophonic 'ballad' pieces, and is still matchless in this kind of music. The winds of La Capella are a joy to hear - listen to the Susato Battaglia, and the Anonymous La Spagna.
In short, this is an echanting survey of the secular and religious music of 16th century Europe, imaginatively presented and beautifuly performed and recorded. A must - and a fine companion to Savall's life of Isablle I of Spain, also from Alia Vox.

5 out of 5 stars Can't go wrong.......2005-08-04

Hesperion XXIs recordings for ALIA VOX are generally even better than the ones they made for EMI, and this one is no exception. Great artistic care has been taken with the arrangements to make this music really accessible to a wide audience. Add to this a first rate realistic recording and you get a divinely beautiful and evocative sound.

The performances are of course faultless. The ensemble playing is extremely precise, the singing is strong and engaging and the individual instrumentalists are all able to creatively express themselves within the mix. Andrew Lawrence King on harp is captivating as always, and Jordi Savall's rich and creamy viol, well, simply the best.

A luxurious and mesmerising production.

5 out of 5 stars ¡Vive el musica de Carlos V!.......2003-02-07

I purchased this CD without any information whatsoever after returning from a trip to Spain. I am generally a fan of "early music" (which is basically, according to CD store categorizations, almost everything written before 1600), so I'm used to buying CDs that I know nothing about. Sometimes I'm disappointed, but "Carlos V" is one of the most serendipitous purchases I have ever made. The first track is a haunting, beautiful and forlorn song about life's travails. The string arrangement almost sounds modern and the singing is astounding. It's a song that will stay with you, and you'll want to put it on again and again. The CD also has some festive party music on it that's more upbeat, but the CD and La Capella Reial de Catalunya shine brightest on the slow vocal songs. It's a difficult CD to describe, but if you're at all a fan of classical, early or renaissance music, you're likely to love this CD. My only regret is that I didn't look to see if La Capella Reial de Catalunya was playing anywhere when I was in Spain (Catalonia, to be precise). Maybe next time.

Lastly, there is a follow-up to this CD: "Alfons V El Magnamin" - it's a double CD and pricey, but well worth it.

5 out of 5 stars Masterpiece of Renaissance.......2002-12-19

This is an excelent demonstration of how beautiful and modern is the music of Renaissance. I think it will be a nice surprise for undevoted. I advise this CD for everyone, it's really superb!!!

5 out of 5 stars Buena musica, buen disco... cumple su cometido..........2006-12-23

En este ultimo disco, Fito suena mas que nunca a Fito. Este disco es un juego de sonidos y estilos bastante bueno..... Parecería una suerte de recopilatorio pero no de canciones sino de estilos, estilos propios. Este disco trae reminiscencias fuertes de grandes obras anteriores como Circo Beat, el Amor Después del Amor, y otras mas recientes como Abre o Naturaleza Sangre. Tal vez eso puede que le quite un poco de "novedad" al disco, sin embargo, la calidad de las canciones es lo suficientemente buena (en letra y musica) como para no quedarse en un simple remake de lo ya hecho, pues definitivamente se puede decir que NO es mas de lo mismo. Del disco las rolas imperdibles e increibles, "El mundo en una canción", "Rollinga o Miranda girl" cancion bien rockanrollera con una letra medio nostalgica (marca registrada de Fito) definitivamente la mejor, "Eso que llevas ahí" e "intermezzo" magistral version en solo de piano con guitarra de "Rollinga o miranda girl". Con esta rola uno se pregunta, por que Fito no hace un disco en sólo de piano de sus mejores canciones!!! El resto de canciones son buenas y cumplen con su cometido. Gran disco, gran musico.... grande Fito.

4 out of 5 stars Back to basics.......2006-11-16

After a couple live albums (Mi vida con ellas 1 & 2) and a quite interesting classical experiment (Moda y Pueblo) that featured many of his most popular songs, Fito returns with a brand new album in 2006.

At a first listen the album may sound familiar, and in a couple cases there are songs that are reminiscent of other songs presented in previous albums, take for instance the opening theme `El mundo cabe en una cancion' which may sound as a fast version of `Abre' from the homonym album.

This is definitely a back to basics for Paez, his last studio album `Naturaleza Sangre' was a little bit more aggressive than usual and it was great and different in many ways. `El mundo cabe en una cancion' presents 12 songs that are filled with his influences, Paez sounds optimistic again and the lyrics are as great as in any other Paez album. `Rollinga o Miranda girl' is a powerful song with guitar riffs that remind us that Paez is a rocker before anything. `Fue por amor; is another excellent theme that in the beginning sounds as the opening music of `El salmon' of Andres Calamaro. `Sargent Maravilla' will definitely remind you of one of the greatest influences Paez has, all the music, chorus and themes have a unique Beatle sound spiced with Paez' own style.

Listen to the excellent single `Eso que llevas ahi' and you will get an idea of the whole album, both the music and the lyrics are great. If you like this song I am sure you'll enjoy the album.

Is this album better than the last one? Hard to tell, when `Naturaleza Sangre' was released Paez was going through several things on his life, his recent break up with Cecilia Rot and a new found love and all those issues were reflected in the songs of the album. The same thing happens with this new album but now Paez seems to be in a better moment of his life, he sounds great as always but more optimistic in his lyrics. The last song `Caminando por Rosario' is a great ballad that was wisely selected to close another great album that has been added to his discography. After waiting 3 years for new material this album will not disappoint you.

    5 out of 5 stars Unique.......2006-02-07

    This is early vocal music very much in the style currently heard in groups like the Hilliard Ensemble and Tallis Scholars. It is very spacious-sounding and solemn, which makes sense- most of the music that we have preserved from hundreds of years ago was written for use in the church. Fortunately, the gravity of the works never stops this set from being thoroughly enjoyable, too. Archiv's sound is, as always, very good.

    5 out of 5 stars A classic performance.......2003-02-28

    This recording remains a classic, even if (as Daniel Leech-Wilkinson points out in his accompanying notes) some of Munrow's performance practices may be disputed today. This is, quite simply, a wonderful performance and a terrific sounding recording (even after nearly 30 years)--and a wonderful way to develop an ear for the music of the 13th and 14th centuries.
