Excellent Introduction to Spanish Classical Guitar Music.......2005-09-18

As a sampler, this CD is an excellent introduction both to Spanish classical guitar music and to guitarist John Williams.
The music ranges from Renaissance composers (Sanz, Mudarra) and harmonized folk melodies to standard 20th Century works (Rodrigo, Torroba etc).

John Williams is excellent throughout. The CD is also cheap, and can be used either just for enjoyment, or further to explore other recordings by Williams, the classical guitar repertoire, or other classical guitarists.

As a marketing ploy, it is very effective.

For the collector or classical guitar enthusiast, the chief disadvantages of the CD are duplication of other recordings, and that the way at least some of the works on this CD are listed isn't helpful in telling the listener the set(s) to which these pieces belong and how to find them (e.g. "from ______, Op # "). The font listing the titles and track numbers is small and somewhat hard to read.

However, this CD should attract many listeners and enthusiasts both to the classical guitar, the repertoire, and guitarist John Williams - and I'm all for that.

Over 70 minutes playing time.

Recommended.

The guitar is an orchestra in miniature!.......2005-02-05

This admirable concept belongs to Hector Berlioz and it must not be a surprise the best guitarrists in the story have in common this trademark.

John Williams has always known the delicate equilibrium between the expresiveness and the glamouer. His impresive technique however is not exposed as his prima edonna. He goes directly to the soul of the composer, melts in his spirit and let the music sharp the qith eloquent conviction the composer's demanded atmosphere.

From Granados to Albeniz, from Rodrigo to Agustin Barrios - El indio Mangore -, from Moreno Torroba to Ponce , you will find the warmth, the passion and the Midas touch of this golden guitarrist.

GUITAR MAJESTY.......2004-12-21

John Williams is a true Guitar virtuoso. His repetoire is very extensive and I use his music in my office while I work at my daily office duties. This album is a must for all guitar enthusiasts old or young.

Sweet, sweet music, an essential addition to your collection.......2004-12-07

I originally bought this album three years ago, looking for a good introduction to Spanish guitar music. And this one fits that need perfectly. I still listen to and enjoy it today. I play this for guests at happy hour or dinner for a relaxed atmosphere. At Amazon's current price, this is a great value.

A True Classic.......2004-01-26

This album/cd is extraordinary. All the songs are gorgeous and exciting to listen to. John Williams' interpretation and technique are perfect. After 22 years of listening to it, I still enjoy and appreciate it more every time. I love giving it as a gift.

Sencillamente ESPECTACULAR!!

If i were given the chance to get all of the music in this album for free or to purchase it. I would definitely not think twice about buying it also. It is worth every penny. and that's what i did.

My friend gave me mp3 file copies of all of the songs in this album. They are absolutely divine. I had to buy my own original copy.

I usually don't do this - type up reviews, but this CD is worth taking the time to rave about and going out and purchasing! It is worth every single dollar!!! You can listen to it over and over and over and not get tired of it. Beautiful lyrics, great music, an overall hit! I have officially become a CAMILA fan!!!

Great CD!!.......2006-07-28

When I first heard "abrazame" i laughed because it sounded like girls singing softly...but anyways i liked the song, and when I downloaded it, I also downloaded "Coleccionista de canciones" Wow that song really shocked me since I first heard it! Beautiful lyrics! Then, I decided to download the whole album, WOW, is the only thing I can say...beautiful songs like Sin tu amor, Me basto, Todo cambio,Me da igual, and my personal favorite, perderte de nuevo, show a group that can really sing. Lovely lyrics in those songs. In "va para ti" you hear a very rock but cool Camila. The songs that I think are no that great are No quiero, u got my love and nanga ti feo, the rest are all future radio hitss!!! I was really surprise with this group, and I am now a big Fan.

Amazon.com

Topflight pop singer pays tribute to her heritage on this amazing roots ranchera album that also features excellent backing by the world-famous Mariachi Vargas, all under the experienced hand of master arranger-composer-producer Ruben Fuentes. Everything clicks wonderfully here, but numbers that set a new standard include "Tu Solo Tu," an incredibly harmonic love ode; "Por un Amor," on the price of real love; and "Los Laureles," a song of declaration on which Ronstadt soars unbelievably high. These are old Mexican classics, played by arguably the world's best mariachi group and sung by one of North America's greatest vocal talents. Extras include performances by another world figure, requinto player Gilbert Puente, who made trio history when he led Mexico's Los Tres Reyes in the '50s and '60s. In the mariachi-ranchera genre, this CD easily ranks among the very best. --Ramiro Burr

Customer Reviews:

Muy lindo.......2007-04-26

I did not know that Linda Ronstadt was Hispanic until I heard this CD. Her papa was definitely a Mariachi, it shows in her singing. I like his Spanish CDs better than her English ones.

I am so glad that I found this CD. I hope that she continues to do more songs in the Mariachi style. I'm glad that she was able to go back to her ethnic roots. This is a wonderful, beautiful CD.

Essence of Mexico.......2007-04-20

Linda Ronstadt does an excellent job in capturing the essence of Mexico. Being of partial Mexican origin myself, and having traveled south of the border many times; I could see in my mind images of Old Mexico...very traditional and very outstanding.

Other Spanish language artists used for comparison: Lola Betran, Nat "King" Cole, Nana Mouskouri, Vinciente Fernandez, Juan Gabriel, Ana Gabriel.

Canciones de Mi Padre.......2007-01-22

This is a great mariachi piece--one of my very favorite CDs and a must have for Linda Ronstadt fans. Linda is fantastic, and, oh boy, can she hold a note!

canciones de me padre.......2006-11-10

this cd reminided me of my grandmother, she would listen to this every sunday as she would fix breakfast.

What A Voice.......2006-07-02

My Parents really enjoyed this particulay album when it came out a few years ago. This past month, we celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and this CD was played throughout the grand party - bringing sweet memories and tears of rememberance to both parents eyes and their childrens eyes. Being that Mom is of hispanic heritage and dad's deep appreciation of that culture - that adds up to my love of this type of music. This CD is a treasure that will provide memories forever.

Linda or Lola?.......2007-05-26

Who is a better ranchera singer, Linda Ronstadt or Lola Beltrán? Lola has a deeper voice, but both can certainly belt out a song! It's hard to say who is better. It's like choosing between Pavarotti and Plácido Domingo.

The sad fact, though, is that the fidelity of most of Lola's albums is very low...they sound like they were recorded on a home tape recorder. And since she has now passed away, there will never be any new recordings.

Mas Canciones.......2005-09-07

Linda Ronstadt, has done it agian. Very good music you can join your friends around a fire and just enjoy her songs for hours.

Authentic Mexican.......2005-03-10

Original Review 9 March 2005

I am not a Mexican, but I have circulated for years in the Mexican parts of Los Angeles, and I have travelled throughout Mexico, enjoying the native musicians on street corners and in parks and cafes. I have always wondered about those who praise Lola Beltran as the "great" Mexican singer. She sounds too urbane and too international to me--in the manner of Catarina Valente. I always thought the real spirit of Mexican music was better represented by such as Las Hermanas de Alba. And now Linda Ronstadt carries on the true Mexican tradition in her later work. Whatever else she may have sung in her career, I find in Linda's Mexican singing the authentic flavor of Old Mexico.

Update 17 May 2006

Last night as I was browsing the reviews of this record, I got curious about the various comparisons to Lola Beltran. Not having listened to Lola for quite some time, I went through a stack of stuff from both Linda and Lola to refresh my ear.

My conclusion. Lola is good, but Linda is better.

Linda has a much broader emotional range. With all of her musical excelence, Lola has a dreadful sameness from song to song--even songs which should be handled quite differently. For example, It is quite disconcerting to hear Lola back to back on "Ya No" and "Me equivoque contigo"--songs which should be very different in emotional tone sound all too similar. As it happens, I heard the latter song on the radio a few days ago by a male artist. His rendition shoots Lola's down the drain.

By contrast, Linda's emotional range is both subtle and immense. For example, from her "Tata Dios," which wrenches me to tears every time I hear it, to the mock seriousness of her "El toro relajo," which is always worth a good laugh. After reviewing a batch of Lola's work this morning, I can't imagine her ever having such an effect on me. Lola still strikes me as a city person trying to sing country. Whatever else Linda may have done in her life, she somehow manages to dig her toes into the true country soil of Old Mexico.

Viva Linda!

Let the sun shine in..........2005-01-13

I don't know the first thing about the "authentic" style of this music, the native singers, or if Linda has the correct spanish phrasing... All I know is that when I play this CD, a little bit of sunshine enters my gray Philadelphia winter days, and it makes me want to do a bit of dancing! (And I'm sure my dancing isn't the least bit "authentic"...) Plain and simple, this CD is just a lot of fun.

Great authentic Mariachi music by the best.

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.

mariachi lite.......2005-04-28

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

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.

Las mejores canciones pero no se de que mundo me hablas........2007-05-12

La verdad que el cd suena muy bien cuando pongo el equipo al mango la calidad de la produccion es muy buena, las canciones aunque viejitas tienen el estilo del mejor cantaoutor de hispanoamerica, Ricardo Montaner tiene la mejor voz de toda latinoamerica, Hace tanto que Montaner tenía ganas de grabar un cd de tango y en este cd se da el lujo de cantar un tangazo como Nostalgias que la verdad me parece excelente aguante Argentina carajo!, enfin, este cd tiene canciones de autores de las Américas y España, de todas formas para muchos generaciones jovenes estas canciones va a ser como nuevas, enfin por mi parte yo recomiendo este cd.
Con respecto a las canciones no son 13 como amazon publica en la páguina web son solo 12 y el tema Me cuesta tanto olvidarte no existe en el cd.

Ricardo Montaner tiene una magia, que todo lo que graba, ya sea compuesto por el o por otro, una vez lo graba, ten por seguro que será un éxito. No pudo darle un mejor titulo a este disco que LAS MEJORES CANCIONES DEL MUNDO, porque sí fueron las mejores, pero una vez interpretadas por él, no sólo te transportas al pasado, sino que Ricardo hace muy de él estas versiones. No se van a arrepentir de tenerlo en su colección.

Buenas Canciones malos Arreglos.......2007-05-09

Aqui parece que empezo una ola de artistas de salsa haciendo grabaciones de otros cantantes de otros generos. Como el disco de Ismael Miranda que lanzo al principios del 2007, las canciones son romanticas pero los arreglos musicales ponen a uno dormir. Esta formula la experimento Tommy Olivencia en la decada de los 80, con "Lo Dudo" y "El Camionero" cantando Frankie Ruiz y "12 Rosas" y "Lobo Domesticado" cantado por Hector Tricoche, cual tambien interpreto canciones similares como solista con "Tomame O Dejame", "Hasta Que Olvides" y "Laura No Esta". Incluso Sergio George, cual tomo las riendas como productor en algunos temas de las recientes grabaciones de Ismael Miranda y Tito Nieves, no le funciono igual cuando hizo las mismas tareas con Marc Anthony en 1993 con "Hasta Que Te Conoci" y la India en 1994 con "Nunca Voy A Olvidarte".
En fin sin van a regrabar baladas para ponerlas en salsa, hay que hacer mas agresivos en los arreglos musicales, no hacer algo instananeo como se ha hecho en esta decada con muchos artistas que graban canciones en baladas y las regraban las mismas en version tropical, sacandole peste a la cancion. Eso ya esta saturado.

Not Impressed.......2007-03-29

I am a "Tito Nieves" fan i think he is a great salsa singer. But lately his musical productions are not considered the best in my opinion. His most recent falls in the same catagory, not impressed at all. I heard it once and i haven't heard it again. I am losing the anticipation when i hear he's coming out with a new recording. In my opinion he must do some thing better than what he's doing now. "Tito don't forget the TRUE SALSEROS.

Product Description

Children have a natural ability to learn multiple languages easily. Studies show that from birth to age 12, a child's brain is open to assimilate and retain other languages. With repeat exposure to another language, your child's mental develpment will be enriched and carry over into all aspects of learning. This entire CD has been sung only in Spanish to immerse the child fully in the language. This method has been proven to be the most effective way to teach secondary languages. Nursery rhyme songs are a perfect way to introduce or continue developing another language in a familiar setting. Children will recognize the tunes and be able to make a connection with what they are singing. The tempo of these songs has been slowed down slightly so that the words are easy for children to hear and articulate themselves, in order to sing along. Written lyrics have also been included. Childhood development is extremely important! Adding additional languages in a fun, musical environment will only increases a child's capacity for knowledge.

Customer Reviews:

Distinct enunciation makes each word understandable.......2007-05-25

The absence of a lot of instruments makes the words on this CD very EASY TO UNDERSTAND. I already knew the English words to the songs ("Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," "Old MacDonald Had a Farm," etc.) Because the singer pronounced each word very clearly, I quickly learned Spanish vocabulary while driving in my car.

Entertaining & educational for the little ones..........2007-03-13

The simplicity of the accompaniment and the familiarity of the songs to the English speaker facilitates understanding of the Spanish lyrics. The artist has a nice voice and the words are individually enunciated making it easy to sing along. My children enjoy this CD and it is fun to see them picking up another language through music!!

Very So-so.......2007-01-22

I really wanted and fully expected to love this CD. Unfortunately it sounds like it was recorded in someone's living room using a Casio for musical accompaniment. The woman has a nice singing voice and I appreciate that the songs have been slightly slowed to allow non-Spanish speakers more time to process the Spanish sounds, however overall I think of this as an amateur product.

We love this CD!.......2006-12-23

We are English speaking parents of a 10 month old but we want our little one to learn Spanish. We play this CD for her all the time and we all love it. We also have the same songs in English and have played that one for her since birth, so all the sounds are familar to her. The songs are well sung and the tunes are all familar to any American English speaker. This is a great way to start introducing the little one to Spanish in a fun way!

FORMIDABLE!.......2006-02-09

As a mother trying to teach my 3 year-old son Spanish, I enjoy this CD greatly, the songs are already familiar to the kids, and their learning capacity, even on a foreign language, is trully impressive, but most of all, my son loves it!

A Great Compilation!.......2005-07-22

As a kid, growing up in LA, I was unconscioulsy registering several cultural influences, chief amongst them surf music, then rock, then perhaps Mexican music, via a UHF channel I used to watch, primarily for the bull fighting, but secondarily because I liked Mariachi music, and some class trips to Alvarado Street.

This CD takes me back to those roots. It's an amalgam of her canciones to Ms Rondstadt's beloved padre, which have become classics of the idiom, plus a few of her standards and offshoots from the past few years. . She's probably sold more PBS subscriptions via these recordings than any other entertainer, amd for good reason. She's brilliant! The songs are non pareil! Her execution is flawless! The accompaniments/arrangements are note perfect, as well! What's not to love?

The CD also includes some of her better covers of other songwriters like Dylan ( A great rendition of Tom Thumb's Blues, one of my favortie songs of all time), "I go to Pieces," from her "We Ran" Album///just a great mix of one great artist's oevre! It's better than a greatest hits mix, by far. Highly listenable! Highly collectable!!
Check out her paean on to Lady Day on "Fools Rush In," in particular. The vocals and the arrangement are un canny! (sic!)

Do take notice that this is not just a compilation of her two Canciones CDs. There is a great melange here. What a great chanteuse this lady is! She's taken the mantle from Ms Peggy Lee and Ms Rosemary Clooney, et al. She's the real deal!

A Big Must Buy!

que bonito!.......2005-06-11

Ay que lindas son estas canciones. How wonderful to hear Linda Ronstadt tapping into the roots of her Mexican father. How joyful to hear the melodious notes of "Charreada" from this soulful diva. You feel transported to another time and place with these wonderful boleros, mariachi and ballads. "Cuando Me Querias Tu" is filled with haunting restraint and expression, and the devestating, achingly beautiful "Siempre Hace Frio" which has been covered by many different artists, is especially stirring here. Another tune worth noting is "Piel Canala." I found myself doing a modified rumba at the Borders listening station. This really makes you think of classic 1950s romantic music from Mexico. Enjoy this. Ay, it will truly break your heart.

Very good collection of her spanish songs.......2004-07-16

I just got finish listen to this cd and I love it to death she is now one of my new favorite artist in spanish. I love her voice it is very strong and I can't wait to get more.

Almost Perfect Compilation Of Her Songs In Spanish.......2004-04-29

I give this cd 4 9/10 stars because:

1) In the liner notes she incorrectly describes the song Piel Canela as one of the most beautiful songs from México. Although this song has been recorded by artists of many countries, the Original Hit Version was recorded by its composer the late Bobby Capó, a legendary singer/songwriter/entertainer from Puerto Rico.

NAT IN SPANISH.......2007-01-04

If your a Nat King Cole fan, and a Spanish Language music fan..you will love this...there is a certain charm in the way he pronounces the spanish, but NAT COMES THROUGH....I wish he had done more in this genra...some of this Mexican music is the very best...

Not so much accent as intonation - still lovely music.......2006-07-19

A clarification, for those who think: 'I can't ABIDE bad accents!' What people are commenting on in these reviews may be described better as a less subtle or legato phrasing than his English style, tending to over-separate words and overemphasize consonants. In listening to these songs, I don't hear any words that are 'mispronounced' by most people's standards; there simply is an overall impression of a vaguely 'foreign' sound.

It does mar the performance slightly for those of us who treasure Nat King Cole for his smooth and seemingly effortless delivery. But don't let anyone's comments turn you away without listening to the samples for yourself. You may find yourself carried away after all.

Nat en Espanol.......2006-07-06

I remember as a kid living in Colombia when this album came out. Some of the songs were current at the time and several others were old Latin American classics. Nevertheless, what made this album so great was Nat "King" Cole's terrific voice and his phonetic Spanish with a very heavy American English accent, which made it that much appealing. Every song was beautifully rendered. Great memories from a bygone era!

MIS MEJORES CANCIONES.......2005-09-21

In the late 50's, Nat King Cole released two LP's, where he sings in perfect Spanish (With a slight accent of course), something that amazed all his fans world-wide. The songs contained in this CD, are the most popular ones and originate mostly from Mexico. Tracks like 'Las Mananitas' and 'Maria Elena' are considered as part of Mexico's folkloric history, having been written in the early 20th Century. To stun his fans even further, he also released another LP, where he sings in perfect French. For those who are bi-lingual, this CD is a must for their collection. The songs are beautiful, and the way Nat sings, will make any ladies toes curl upwards.
