Aniversario 100: Canciones Mexicanas Que Canta el Mundo.......2005-09-30

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.

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.

Placido Domingo and the Mariachis.......2007-06-08

This is a wonderful CD of Placido and the Mariachis.What voices.Its great

Mariachi by a great voice .......2007-04-24

This is obviously Placido Domingo attemping to play outside his chosen profession as an opera singer. I take nothing away from him for his attempt. Even though he sings rancheras in the mariachi vein his opera training and voice unmistakingly comes through; there is nothing wrong with that. He is not a mariachi singer in the style of Jose Alfredo Jimenez, Vicente Fernandez(or his son Alejandro), Jorge Negrete,Jose Hernandez, the various vocalists of Mariachi Vargas, Pedro Ingfante, Nati Cano, Pablo Montero or any slew of authentic interpreters; the key word here is interpreter. Domingo has a wonderful voice, robust and clear and he has all the elements for a mariachi singer but first and foremost he is a opera singer and it shows. The crossover is difficult. The songs on this disc are very good and even if you are a mariachi aficionado you should enjoy his marvelous voice and fine accompanyment to these classic songs. The classic Jose Alfredo song(nearly half are written by El Rey) "Paloma Querida" is well done as is the Spanish song "Malaguena." He especially shines on El Rey's "Cuando Sale La Luna " where he extends his voice in fine opera/mariachi style and streches the notes with emotion and "El Jinete" where he substitutes falsetto voice for his opera delivery. I have to give him credit as he delivers a pretty good version of " Ay Jalisco No Te Rajas" and "Soy Mexicano." If you like good singing,can tolerate the fact that he is not a genuine mariachi singer than you will like this opera singers homage to Mexico's music. If you are so wrapped up in a nationalist perspective(only Mexicans can sing mariachi) than stay away from this one. Recommended for aficionados of fine interpreters of mariachi who love mariachi music.

Depends if you are a mariachi afficionado.......2004-08-20

My review for this CD brings up the same points as my review for "Flamenco" by Pepe Romero in that in both these cases, you have musicians who have spent most of thier careers in classical music and have tried their hand at a different genre.

And just as the case with Pepe Romero and Flamenco, 100 años of Mariachi gives us wonderful performances... refined, precise, not lacking anything on the surface. No doubt, Domingo sings wonderfully... but will not please "afficionados" who feel the music should have a certain earthiness and rawness of emotion only gained through years and years of specializing and living this type of music only.

Long ago as a teenager living in Mexico, Placido Domingo sang much Mariachi music for pleasure (himself a big fan of the ranchera greats) before he decided to concentrate all his energy on training for a full-time opera career. So this style of music is by no means "unnatural" for him to sing now or is it out of place for him as, say, American Broadway show tunes. However, he also admitted he could not produce the full range of mariachi vocal technique because such would possibly damage his voice for his operas.

Taking all that into consideration, I did enjoy this CD very much. I personally found Domingo's singing style highly refined yet strongly masculine... very much proper for this music. And always showing impeccable good taste and wonderful musicianship. What I always admired about Domingo is no matter what type of music he ventures into, he really tries his best to prepare and "live" the music as an actor does for a role. Don't be dissuaded by those claiming a mere opera singer can't sound convincing in Mariachi, or that he brings "nothing" to this music... as soon as I played this CD and Domingo sang the first phrase of "Paloma Querida", I was sold. Of course, Domingo is not a genuine ranchera specialist. But there are times when one can't help but believe he is based on his performance here.

I highly reccomend this CD for those new to Mariachi music, or for those more concerned with wonderful singing of this music in a general sense. True afficionados will of course prefer the genuine interpreters of yesterday and today and give this one a pass. But given the extremely poor taste of multitudes of singers who tried this music in recent years, I find it hard to believe that Domingo, with his wonderfully refined singing, could be dismissed by anybody.

Have you heard of Javier Solis?.......2004-04-18

By far nothing comparable to Javier Solis. Not taking anything away from the tenor of OPERA not Ranchera...Lets leave the rancheras for those who are gifted in its style. You want real rancheras listen to MR. Javier Solis.

Mediocre.......2004-02-18

I am a fan of Placido Domingo...the Opera & Zarzuela Singer...not the Ranchera singer, not the Broadway song singer, not the ballad singer. Placido is great at what he does, but his style on most popular is monotonous and he really doesn't bring anything to the table. I whole heartedly recommend Jorge Negrete for hard-core rancheras. Even Vicente Fernandez' performance on "Joyas Rancheras" is a much better recording of this genre.

The Rancheras you love.......2004-08-26

This album contains the wonderful songs I remember from the 1960s. So good to find them pristine and vibrant!

A ranchera cd must have!!!.......2003-01-29

Ok,, so you would like a ranchera collection. Look no further. IN this cd you'll find one of the best collections out there with the best artists. The original and original recordings are here. The bad part though is that only artists that were with RCA (now part of BMG) are included so you are missing artists like JAvier Solis, VIcente Fernandez, and PEdro Infante who were with Colimbia(now part of SOny) and Peerless( Now with WEA). NEvertheless,, back in the golden era RCA was the label any artist loved to be. You got here ALejandro RIvera, Lucha Villa, Lola Beltran, Jose ALfredo Jimenez, Mariachi Vargas, Miguel Aceves Mejia, Jorge NEgrete, etc. Yes, pretty much the BIG NAMES. But Wait,, that's not all. This is actually a cd from a 2 valume, double each, cd set. SO get volume 2 as well. You won't be disappointed.

My Parents Favorite Songs all in one.......2006-12-19

So far, this has been my parents favorite CD. They have been listening to this CD for over a month and keep talking about their childhood years while listening. I also enjoy listening to those songs with my parents who discribe in detail their childhood and young adult years in Mexico.

A musical treasure.......2003-03-13

An amazing collection of great songs by fantasic artists usually means that you have heard them all before. More than likely this will not be the case with this excellent two CD disc. Featuring 50 songs, the other 50 are on the equally fantasic Vol.1, there is enough music here to listen to during your festive moments or get together pachangas with your family. These songs are of the ranchera type from Mexico and span decades. There is music from the Golden Era of Mexican films and old time radio for your listening pleasure. Take a look at the featured artists. Literally a who's who of this Mexican genre, you'll find some of the greatest stars like the unforgetable Jose Alfredo Jimenez, matinee idols Pedro Infante and Jorge Negrete, the man with the white streak of hair and incredible voice, Miguel Aceves Mejia, super female vocalists like Lola Beltran, Lucha Villa, Amalia Mendoza and curious additions like Gloria Trevi, neglected and not as recognized talents like Alicia Juarez are all here among lesser known but very talented musicians. Growing up in the United States with roots in Mexcio I missed many of these songs, besides I can actually say I was too young! This disc fills the cultural gaps, a bit of modern nostalgia permeates from this disc like a charro riding off into the distance and returning in a truck. Listening to this disc is a bit like taking a ride through a time zone and learnig some history in the process. You will like this disc for the sheer diversity of artistry. There is a rich tradition preserved here for future generations that should not be missed. Take a look at the songs and artists again, it is worth buying, vale la pena. Unlike other compilations the included booklet gives valuable information like when it was recorded, the accompanying musicians(often El Mariachi Vargas De Tecalitlan) and the song authors. While you are at it order Vol. 1. A super package and at a bargain price because historical musical integrety is priceless. La musica es cultura, the music is culture, que viva la musica y la cultura, long live the music and the culture!

Mariachi but not enough.......2001-03-27

These two CD set of mariachi music is just as the title states a compilation of various artists interpreting classic mariachi songs. It is an excellent set for the novice collector of mariachi music or as one's first introduction into mariachi music. However some the selections lack the full sound of a Marichi Vargas and although included are two classic revolutionary era favorites "Traigo Mi 45" and "carabina 30/30" also missing from that era are "Valentin de la Sierra" and "La Rielera." Most dissappointing was "La Adelita" selection which here was an instrumental, depriving ther listener of those sad heart wrenching lyrics. Overall excellent begginer set.
