5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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!

5 out of 5 stars 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!

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars A superb interpretation of Llobet's music.......2006-10-30

I had come across L. Micheli almost accidentally by watching one of the Guitar Foundation of America videos when I was amazed by the breathtaking performance of the Variaciones sobre un tema de Sor! This CD is worth every penny. I would also recommend the M Castelnuovo Tedesco one as well. Very expressive, accurate, clean performance - I had the feeling I am watching Glenn Gould playing guitar.

5 out of 5 stars EXCITING MUSIC.......2006-03-25

I have found this CD at the Naxos website catalogue.I was just looking around the CD's and the word LLOBET got my attention because it was hard to find a complete collection of the composer.I was lucky that it caught my attention!
Let's come to the inside of it.It has all kind of music forms composed by llobet such as;Catalan Folksongs,Preludes,Folksongs,Etudes,Mazurkas,Romanzas and even Variations which I liked most.They have really been arranged nicely and the Llobet himself composed beautifuly(they say Llobet opened a new period for the guitar music at the early 1900's; they are right.)
You can't find most of the pieces on other CD's they are really "rare" pieces and the affordible price makes the CD even more nice.
Most of the tracks are short about 1 or 2 minutes but the total playing time is OK that means there's a lot of track in it(41 tracks).
What about the guitarist.Lorenzo Micheli.I know much guitarist but I have heard Micheli with this CD.It's good to be me that I heard Micheli.He plays the guitar with his soul,so sweet guitar really.And also the technique is one of the factors that makes this CD amazing because without a good technique you can't hand over most of the tracks such as Repuesta.
It is certain that this music gives us a joy and "also" I didn't know Llobet composed such great works I means the listener gets informed about it.
1)GOOD COLLECTION
2)PRICE
3)GOOD GUITAR PLAYING
4)EXCITING AND ORIGINAL WORKS FOR GUITAR
...they are the reasons you should buy this CD.

3 out of 5 stars Nice repertory and singing, but give the girl some castanets.......2002-12-25

This recital was a mixed blessing. The program is well chosen. The music is exciting and alluring, accessible yet rare enough to be attractive to travelers along the byways of song. The performances are beautiful and thoughtful. Fink's tone is consistently attractive, her technique and ornamentation are impressive. But there are essential Spanish elements missing. Rhythms are not accented, with scarcely any rubato in evidence. She does not bite into her consonants or relish the typical Spanish sounds like "ll," "j," and "y." Part of the problem is in the foursquare playing of Roger Vignoles on the piano. In any case, the songs are captivating and Bernarda Fink's expressiveness is beautiful but undermined by this lack of flair. Though less effective than her debut art song recorded of Schumann Lieder on harmonia mundi, this remains nonetheless a record of lasting appeal.

The program is of love songs offered from the perspective of man, woman, and third person. This music is so rarely heard and worth hearing as to make the disc self-recommending. Spanish composers lean more toward collections than narrative cycles, and here we have some collections presented in full and some excerpted. Spanish art song conveys a rich bittersweetness, stretching the ear with tangy chromaticisms and veiled harmonies, their unsettling effect kept within bounds by recognizable rhythms, modulations, melismas, and other characteristic flourishes. Refined, yes, but never too distant from its popular variants.

The Granados collection that begin the disk has the first 5 songs rather centered on the pains of love, from different angles: deeply sympathetic narrator, a girl in the torments of young love, one man rueful, another wry and cynical. The last 2 songs move into more sanguine areas of the heart, the 6th a lighthearted folksong admiring young beauties at work, the 7th an exuberant transport in rhythms alternately propulsive and swaying. The Granados mini-cycle "La maja dolorosa" that follows is the best-known item in the program. Portraying three different women in grief, or perhaps a progression of grief in the same woman, the first song represents stark betrayal and disbelief; the second emerges somewhat, still distraught, dispossessed, drenched in desolate desire; in the third, bereavement gives way to a proud nostalgia.

The Rodrigo selection is astute: "Pastorcito santo" a haunting, gently lilting Christmas carol, "Coplillas de Belén" another carol with jazzy rhythms imparting the impatient joy of Christmas morning. "Por mayo era" starts with the heat of the day underscored by piano arpeggios (shifting neatly to depict a nightingale). The fullness of the scene is contrasted with the singer's desolation in the second verse, where the arpeggios now become fractured and acerbic. "Adele" is pure folksong, sad and plain in regard of the girl's demise for love, free of harmonic twists and other commentary. The set concludes with the vibrant and soaring "Cancion del Duero," with rustic images elevated by the rapture of joyous and world-embracing love, building to a thrilling final verse and a rousing sendoff.

The 3 Nin songs, while enjoyable, are more self-conscious in execution and the music a tad more bombastic. His arrangement of "El Vito" is too dense, not nearly as fun as Obridors's. "El pano murciano," about setting a kiss in silver, after a rather excessive piano introduction, does give into the simple whimsy of the verses.

The program ends with music of the singer's homeland, Argentina. Guastavino is very sentimental: "La rosa y el sauce" ("The Rose and the Willow") is a pensive elegy. "Cita" offers a charming scene of a lazy tryst. "La palomita" ("Little Dove") is in antique style. These are united expressively in a straightforward musical style. Ginastera is represented by a sensuous, sad tango "Canción al arbol del olvido" ("The Tree of Forgetting") and a collection of 5 popular songs. "Chacarera" is notable for its dense rhythms. "Triste" starts with slow arpeggios again depicting a dry landscape of the soul, the blankness pierced by the singer's stricken cries of "Ah!" "Arroró" is a lovely lullaby, with sharp insomniac harmonies and the long hours tolling in the piano layer. Ginastera's accompiments are restrained but inventive.

Though by rights this music ought to be close to home for her, what I found lacking here were musical traits that are distinctly Spanish -- the rhythmic verve, the bite of the consonants -- elements that would have given her performances greater personality. This is especially noticeable in the faster songs, where words are less distinguishable because of this weakness and accentuation of individual words doesn't come through. Berganza and De Los Angeles both have it -- you can compare their versions of "La maja dolorosa". Berganza's is on a 2-disk set on DG, De Los Angeles in a 4-disk compilation on EMI. Native qualities of De Los Angeles's voice, the inimitable blend of sweetness and sadness, give her an advantage in these songs. Her performance of the first features cor anglais accompaniment along with the piano, deepening the sorrowful effect. With this additional support, DLA takes a slower tempo resting on sturdy chest tones. The third song is underpinned by tentative staccato in the piano as the bereaved avows feelings and memories. Berganza is more confessional, but at times a tad lugubrious. Both have a piquancy to their voice that Fink lacks here. Even Margaret Price on an Orfeo disk of French and Spanish songs sounds no less authentic.

The elements of rhythm and enunciation are even more decisive in comparing DLA's performance of 6 of the 7 Granados songs, recorded live in 1971 with De Larrocha at the piano delivering more robust sound. Though DLA is less secure tonally throughout, her performances have a radiance that Fink's lack. "Mañana era" is very delicate with more sadness in the voice; "Mira que soy niña" has crispness of rhythm; "Gracia mia" dances, the rapid-fire phrases maintaining a contour that Fink loses. Though both singers have facility in ornamentation, De Los Angeles is more successful thank Fink because her placement and pacing are better.

      5 out of 5 stars MY FAVORITE CD!!!!.......2007-02-11

      Let me tell you - I bought this CD twice because the first one got scratched up so bad I couldn't listen to anything. I LOVE LA NEF!!! My 132nd wish is to see this troupe live in concert!!! :D

      Okay. "Music for Joan the Mad" is about musicians stuck inside the queen's chamber trying to appease her insanity. If you read the bible - remember Saul & David? Sort of the same theme, only he had demons and she's just crazy.

      I LOVE THIS CD...nothing could appease this woman. She was mad because something happened to her love (her husband) and it drove her crazy. So she won't leave her chambers or the castle and insists on being entertained in her room.

      At the end of the cd, she's still crazy but you will fall in love with love with this troupe!!

      5 out of 5 stars A Mysterious Treat Honoring a Mythical Queen.......2007-01-25

      This music is amazing to listen to, to absorb, to live with, and the story behind it, which is on the liner notes and I do not recall in exact detail, is also fascinating. (When I get my ordered copy, I'll update this) Apparently, the legend these musicians are recreating in their modern imagining of the Iberian music, is that of a queen who was called Mad by her husband, and put into exile. She so loved music that her musicians chose to go into exile with her, and play for her, rather than leave her to live alone. The songs, even if you don't know the translations, suggest melancholy, rebellious, defiant joy in the midst of pain and loss, and the defiant beauty of art in dark times--the constant strength of voices and songs that can transmit anywhere, with passion.

      5 out of 5 stars Almost perfect..........2004-12-03

      If you enjoy early music, and you are not a purist, but just looking for pleasure, you must get this CD. This is NOT the music that Colombus was playing while sailing across the Atlantic. No. This music is the smartest artifice, the most intelligent mix of powerful rhythms and cultural influences. Get it.

      5 out of 5 stars Enter another world..........2003-05-27

      Wow. Few CDs have ever struck me as much as La Nef's "Music for Joan the Mad" has. It was the album that introduced me to this remarkable group that recreates medieval music so we can hear it today.

      "Music for Joan the Mad" would be categorized as "Spanish Classical". During this time (around the late 15th century) Spain was at its height, and the music was very regal and flowing, also influenced by Arab traditions. Indeed there are many Arab influences on this album, from the beautiful instruments (I think I heard an oud on one of the tracks) to the wonderful vocals. La Nef has truly recreated the glory days of Spain.

      Whenever I hear this CD (and that is often), I always imagine myself walking through a 15th Century Spanish castle, the stone walls echoing with the plucks of guitars and the melodies of a soprano. If you're even remotely interested in transporting yourself back in time, listen to the sample tracks and buy the CD. You won't regret it...

      4 out of 5 stars Music to lie down and die to.......2002-03-05

      When one finds an ensemble of musicians who have chosen a time and a place to honour, or replicate, or interpret with skillful passion, take note and investigate for yourself what distant scenery could inspire artists so.

      Joan The Mad deserves such respect. I hardly review or rate albums, but this particular one deserves a notation. The album begins on a sordid note that is the doorway to an ancient place of exotic sounds blended with classical givens. The Moors have made their mark on this Iberian album that gives a sense of ancient Arabian masters feasting with their Spanish hosts.

      Pause to open this doorway and enter a forgotten time and listen to music classical in genre, yet forever a stranger to the ears.

        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

        5 out of 5 stars 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.

        5 out of 5 stars 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.
