Amazon.com essential recording

Andrea Bocelli's Sogno ("Dream") is a pop album of entirely original compositions that evoke traditional and modern influences. Bocelli himself describes the CD as secular Italian traditional melodic music with a contemporary twist. The album's 14 tracks include "The Prayer," a Bocelli and Celine Dion duet produced by David Foster; "Come un Fiume Tu," an intriguing collaboration with soundtrack maestro Ennio Morricone; "O Mare e Tu," a duet with Dulce Pontes; and "Sogno" (the first single excerpted from the album), a light-as-a-feather, emotional composition sung by Bocelli with his typical vocal emphasis, which has made him famous around the world since the release of his self-titled debut. --Ernesto De Pascale

Romance.......2007-06-12

If you like your music nice and low and in Italian, you'll love Andrea Bocelli. I do, that's why I have almost everything he's done. This truly is music for people over 40 who want and like romance in their life. (what can I say except I'm getting old)

Andrea's masterpiece.......2007-04-20

This is the most beautiful music you will ever listen to.Andrea has a way of bringing out your innermost soul.The music can make you cry just to listen to it,even if you don't understand the words(which are translated in the booklet).Highlights are Sogno and Immenso for beauty,The Prayer and Nel Cuore Lei for stellar duets,and Canto Della Terra for the rapturous glory of Andrea's voice.If you buy nothing else from Andrea,buy this.

A Great Collection Of Songs!.......2007-03-28

The tone of so many of this album's songs is almost reverent. Truly, this group of songs is one of Mr. Bocelli's best works. I recommend it for your own collection, as well as for gift-giving.

Sogno by Bocelli.......2007-03-09

Bocelli is awesome! The Prayer is absolutely gorgeous! He is one of my favorite singers!

Great Album.......2007-07-01

My parents owned this album then lost it along with other great albums many years ago, now I have a copy of this in LP (record format). The original album contains 3 records with a total of 30 songs and I have never been able to find the exact release in CD format. Most CD releases like this one only contain a partial listing of the original album. If they ever release it in its' full glory I will buy it in a second. I can only say that I feel sorry for all individuals that do not understand or speak Spanish, because great songs like these can never be translated into English with the same fervor, and gut wrenching soulfulness that this album brings.
I can genuinely say this album in its' LP glory is one of my greatest treasures.

How Divine!.......2007-05-21

Have you ever had a CD that the minute you heard it you fell instantly in love with it? That's what happens with Canta en Espanol. It doesn't matter if you understand Spanish or or, the beauty, poetry and melodic nature of the music transcends any language barrier. The guitars are soft and gentle, the voices lush and filled with emotion and passion that can only be Latin. The result is incredibly romantic. Listen to it with someone you love or someone you'd like the sparks to fly.

Eydie Gorme in all her glory!.......2007-04-01

Combine the gorgeous voice of Eydie Gorme, with the talented music trio Los Panchos, and what do you get? Some of the most amazing, beautiful music ever recorded!

Although she's best-known for her collaborations with husband Steve Lawrence, Miss Eydie Gorme also enjoyed a rich and popular partnership with the Los Panchos, and they recorded a few albums together; the best probably being 'Canta En Espanol'.

On this album (remastered in stereo for the very first time), Eydie Gorme gets to wrap her sensuous, velvet voice around such pieces as "Amor", "Sabor A Mi", "Noche de Ronda", and "Historia de un Amor".

Gorme's phrasing and accents are absolutely spot-on, and the arrangements from Los Panchos are very lush, suiting Gorme's vocals perfectly. For fans of Eydie Gorme, this would be a fine title.

[Sony/CBS International CD-80193]

Absolutely Wonderful!.......2007-03-12

I remember listening to this as a child, my mom and grandma would play it. Over the years it was lost during moves. I'm so glad that I was able to find it on CD. I love the music Eydie Gorme's voice is so beautiful.

Wonderful!.......2007-01-30

Absolutely beautiful voice, accompanied by an exceptional Trio (Los Panchos) Highly recommend this CD. , would be perfect if words to the songs were included.

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.

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.

Love it!.......2007-07-13

Really a great album blending chants with new age. Very peaceful to listen to. If you like ENIGMA, then this is the style for you!

Goth Chant + Electronica + Trance.......2007-06-07

Enchanted Spirits by Magna Canta features the pleasant combination of Gregorian chant with electronica and sensual grooves.

1. Aethera a El Terra - Chant melded with melodic, slow trance rhythms peppered with an awesome groove. Male and female choral chants are utterly glorious. (5 Stars)

2. Hymns - Smooth and lively, this track melds sounds of pipe organs with rhythmic beats. I'm not crazy about the female vocalist saying stuff like "You are far away but still so close. Why did you go?" Still, this is a gentle, soothing groove. (3 Stars)

3. Agnus Dei - Moderately paced electronica with male and female chants, some of this song seems repetitive, but still lovely. (4 Stars)

4. Cantandus - Stars off with a soaring female vocal chant then goes into an awesomely ethereal groove. Expansive and spacey, but grounded with softly insistent synths. (5 Stars)

5. Silentium - Male chorals with a foreboding, tentative beat. (The heavy breathing ala Darth Vader is a bit off putting to say the least!) Then, the tempo picks up with female chorals overlapping a danceable beat. The male chorals "answer"--and there's a nice change-up in rhythm towards the end. (4 Stars)

6. Recordare - This song also begins a bit ominously, but then switches to a happier melody with female and male chorals. Relaxing. (3 Stars)

7. Offizium - Epic sounding--I could heard this song as part of a space movie score. I like how it picks up the pace towards the end, finishing with lilting synths and piano. (3 Stars)

8. Ritmo - Begins with a glorious male chant. This song reminds me of Enigma. Very cool chill out with synth flutes and cascading keyboards. The male chant is the real star of this song. What ruins the song for me, though, is a man whispering "Be quiet--big boys don't cry". It seemed out of place to me. (3 Stars)

9. Gregoria - Rousing male choral with wild dance beat. In fact, the insistent beat is a bit TOO much, but the unusual jungle-like synth effects add interest. Midway, a very cool synth section reminds me a bit of Eiffel 65. (3 Stars)

10. Alleluia - Begins with some chant and flutes, but then some guy with an indecipherable accent begins too talk--sounding a lot like the boozy Captain Jack. The beat is so pronounced, it's almost headache inducing. It's certainly not a danceable tune even by trance standards, and the beat is enervating. (2 Stars)

11. Spiritus Sanctus - Brisk, ethereal tune that flows into an intriguing climax that breaks out into a poppy, upbeat celebration of what's highest and best in mankind. Lovely chorals--but by this point, the pounding beat has all but given me a headache. If they'd only toned down the heavy beats in the foreground and allowed the voices and high-end synths do all their glorious work! It would have made for a truly triumphant song. (3.5 Stars)

12. Sancta Maria - Sounds of surf and gently crashing waves that flow into a slow groove with a way-too-chipper fluttering of instruments. (3 Stars)

In conclusion, if the rest of the songs would have matched the caliber of the first song, this would have been an outstanding CD. However, some of the disparate elements make the CD never wracking by its end--rather than relaxing or pleasantly energizing.

Disappointed .......2007-05-13

The prior reviews built up expecations not met by the actual music. I like the other guys better. I gave this album to my daughter who will listen to anything.

a great imitation.......2007-04-16

This CD is a thorougly enjoyable hybrid of mystical Gregorian chant and sensual electronic rhythms. Many previous reviews have compared Magna Canta with Enigma, which is certainly justified. However, the comparison is really only applicable to Enigma's first album (MCMXC A.D.). That being said, Magna Canta's style is strikingly similar to what you will find on MCMXC. In fact, If I heard the songs Ritmo and Alleluia (two of the songs on "Enchanted Spirits") without knowing the artist, I would swear that Enigma created them.

So as you can see, Magna Canta is not really breaking any new ground here. However, the music on this album is very high quality. It's one of the few CD's where I don't mind listening to the whole thing over and over. If you like music that is spiritual, mysterious, sensuous and timeless, this CD is for you. Thanks to Magna Canta for picking up where Enigma left off.

Magnificent.......2007-03-08

I thoroughly enjoy this CD. I've recently gotten into music that combines the classical (or, in this case, medieval) with techno, and this album does not disappoint. My only complaint, and the reason it doesn't get that fifth star, is that the techno is somewhat un-inventive. Take for comparison the electronic beats in albums by Paul Schwartz or Deep Forest and you'll easily see the difference. That said, it is still great fun to listen to.

Realmente cuando ordene este CD, no savia exactamente de que se trataba, y la verdad me facino, ya que es un estilo de musica diferente al que estoy acostumbrada a escuchar, me hiso sentir mas espiritual, y a encontrarme con migo misma..es excelente..

This is cool music.......2007-03-07

I love this music. I'm not good at describing music. But, it is calm, yet not all the time, it has a good beat. It's deep. Just buy it.

Moody sanctuary.......2007-01-07

Magna Canta made a moody CD with Santuary. But playing it completely, it is very much of the same. Nevertheless, it is worth buying if you like this genre

Deep and atmospheric music in the groove-chant tradition.......2006-10-02

Ranging in tone from darkly mysterious to moving and uplifting, "Sanctuary" is similar in style to Magna Canta's previous album, "Enchanted Spirits," but as seems to be the trend with most groups in this genre, has lost a little something in transition from one recording to the next. Although there is still vocal chanting in "Sanctuary," there seems to be less of it. Since there's no mention of a choir in the liner notes, nor of choral works being sampled, I'm not sure if Junior Deros and Ray Frederico are simply singing and perhaps overdubbing their own vocals or what. The voices are mostly male or falsetto-counter tenor in nature, and certainly hold their own with a deep, rich tone. But they're not as full or affecting as a real chorus of singers. That being said, the compositions are still engaging for the most part--energetic and well-crafted. They're varied enough in structure to make for interesting listening or dancing, although occasionally they become a little repetitive or derivative. Like Enigma before them, but not quite so exotically, Magna Canta branches out into a wider world of song in this album, incorporating Russian lyrics in track #1 and Japanese lyrics in track #5, penned by Ludmila Kloss and Marianne Shimisu respectively. In fact, track #1, appropriately enough called "Russia," is probably my favorite one on the album, with a simple, sober but affecting melody that sounds like it would make a great movie soundtrack theme. The last selection, Sequentia, is cool too, utilizing a polyphonic triple meter common in Latin chant but not usually heard in this genre. It is quite effective nonetheless, not to mention affecting. Drawing from a different aspect of sacred medieval music than unmetered monophonic chanting, such fusion would make for many other interesting compositions should anyone care to take up that torch (Hint, hint! Twenty-first century School of Notre Dame, anyone?) One suggestion for future releases: the phrase "Magna Canta" translates as "great songs." Great songs deserve great choirs to sing them. Bring back the chorus! If you enjoy listening to Magna Canta, try also the work of Lesiem, Era, Enigma and Amethystium, as well as "Vision" by Richard Souther and Hildegard von Bingen.

Haunting ..........2006-01-13

A wonderful follow up album by Magna Canta. These guys are here to stay. All tracks are very nicely done, but there are some tracks that are outstanding:

1. Russia: This track has a terrific start. The first few seconds of this track can justify the purchase of the entire album. Terrific electronic cadence music with masterful gregorian chants. The arrangement is very well layered and textured. Wonderful.

2. Kyrie: This track seems like a perfect mix of 2 tracks that are masterfully merged into one another. You get hooked to one and the other one emerges quickly from behind and captures your attention.

3. Pater Noster: This is a very peaceful track. Almost like a beautiful selfless prayer with very uplifting electronic music. The chants will stir your soul and in an emotional moment draw a tear as well. I really liked the way the track just fades away.

4. The best track on the CD. The music slowly appears from the yonder. The mind conjures rhythmic floating images that swirl all around you and the chants feel like tufts of fresh air on your face.

6. Japan: Haunting start to the track. Very creative mix of Gregorian and Japanese chants.

7. Lux Lucies: Keeps getting better. A very well layered track that will take you on a tranquail sonic journey. Awesome.

8. In Excelsiss Deo: Stunning: Distant percussions that will give you goose bumps. This track blurs the track between electronic, Gregorian and techno music. Irresistible dance music.

Great Easy Listening and Soothing Sounds.......2007-03-12

Magna Canta is truly one of the best sounds I have heard in awhile. I look for this kind of music as it is inspirational to my creativeness and my well being. Easy listening and harmonious sounds that captivate the spirit. I will be looking for more sounds of Magna Canta in the future and similar music of it's kind.

very good.......2007-01-15

it was very good music consisting of mostly gregorian chants. very nice even for exercise

EXACTLY what I was looking for. Better than Enigma!.......2006-07-21

This is very well-done, blending beats and electronica with beautiful gregorian chanting. Exactly what I was looking for! It's darker, moodier and more varied than Enigma. Better in my opinion.
The cover is beautiful, eerie and mystical.

For Fans and Newcomers!.......2005-10-04

I only recently began listening to Magna Canta, but I've always been drawn to groovy, mystic sounds and Gregorian chant. No doubt I'd probably heard Magna Canta before, but as is sometimes the way, you hear something and don't know who's the artist or what's the title or annoying things like that. Then the song haunts you for days after, and you either find out what it is or it goes in the mental file referred to as "Things to Find Out at a Later Date".

This 2-disc CD is awesome! The music itself is superb...the chants mix beautifully with the music, the beats lend the music a certain depth and life that's nearly addictive, and the Latin really helps transport you to a different realm of listening pleasure. Some of the tracks are more suitable to relaxing than others, but it's all great stuff. I love to pop in one of these CD's when I'm driving or cleaning or even exercising. The music helps take your mind off the monotony of daily tasks.

The CD's themselves do contain a number of tracks from Magna Canta's previously released material, and I didn't know this when I bought the album. I'm not disappointed, however. The remixes are great, and the chants blend so well that you never really get tired of listening, especially if you want some "mystic dance club" music without having to leave home.

Overall, this is certainly a worthy CD set to have in one's collection. For longtime fans of Magna Canta, you won't mind having a few repeats of songs in your library...and for newcomers, this is a terrific introduction to this genre and this group. Unless you don't like chant or mystic groovy dance beats, you can't go wrong with this CD set.

Magna Canta - Mystical Chant.......2005-07-08

I am a big fan of gregorian chants and thanks to artists like Enigma, Era, Delerium & Lesiem there is no shortage of this beautiful intoxicating genre of music. Then came along the german group Magna Canta which blew away the competition. Only Era now stands toe to toe in competition with this wonderfully arranged vocalist group. This album release 'Gregorian Mystics' is a 2 CD compilation with 12 songs on each album. Mainly the songs are from older album versions of Magna Canta but for the loyal fans there are a few previously unreleased B-Sides and remixes of a few songs.

CD1 consists of 'Silentium' and 'Cantandus' as previously unreleased. The rest of the songs are old songs from other albums. But listening to the hit song 'Ritmo' and 'Agnus Dei' never gets tiring. The chants meld well with the synths, bass and sometimes techno-dance feel of the songs.

CD2 was my personal favourite with more B-Sides like 'Himawari', 'Close To Heaven and the remixed hit song 'Hymne' (Deep Spiritual Mix)which was actually a great remix. Several of these remixed songs are starting to find their way on nightclub's DJ playlistings.

This is a must buy for any serious gregorian chant fan. The listener shall not be disappointed by the diverse and yet entertaining chant mixed with dance style sounds on many of the songs. Whether you wanna dance and party or rest and relax, there are songs on both CD's for both of these things.

Customer Reviews:

Very nice incidental liturgical music.......2007-06-08

After reading the two other reviews, I feel like a heel giving this recording but four (4) stars, but I listened to this several times, and compared to my favorites by Bach (going forward) and by Renaissance composers (going backward), and even compared to some of Vivaldi's other sacred works, such as the Stabat Mater, I find these pieces good, but not outstanding. I would not make a point of coming back to these works, whoever excellently performed and recorded. In the great scheme of things, they don't excite me. Check out Andreas Scholl's performance of the Stabat Mater on harmonia mundi France!

Much more beautiful and compelling than 'The Four Seasons'.......2006-09-28

In his time, Vivaldi was widely respected, both for the beauty of his music and the speed of his writing. He wrote some 400 concertos; he said --- accurately --- that he could compose faster than a copyist could scribble the notes. Bach went to school on him. He was continuously employed.

But Vivaldi died poor. And was soon forgotten. It wasn't until the mid-1920s --- when a researcher encountered a collection of his lost manuscripts and powerhouses like Ezra Pound proclaimed Vivaldi's excellence --- that his music began to be widely played. And then, at some point in the 1970s or 1980s, hotels and restaurants discovered "The Four Seasons," and after that, you couldn't get away from Vivaldi. He became, sadly, as corny as Pachelbel.

Stravinsky mocked Vivaldi's concertos --- the same piece, he said, written 400 times. But no one mocks the choral music. It has balance and thrust and personality; it's never less than pleasant.

Vivaldi wrote most of his choral music for women. With good reason --- for 35 years, he was in the employ of La Pieta, a home for Venetian foundlings. Don't get all weepy about those poor little girls; this isn't "Annie." Remember that we are talking about Venice, one of the richest cities in the world. And remember, too, that we are dealing with upper-class morality --- most of the girls at the Ospedale della Pietà weren't orphans, but the illegitimate daughters of married noblemen and their mistresses. The quarters were luxurious; musical standards were high.

As were the notes. Vivaldi had only female voices to work with, and he showed them off. Bass parts were taken up an octave; sopranos were pitched to the heavens. Excess is stripped away. Vivaldi takes traditional themes --- he'd been trained as a priest --- and weaves them into beauty.

There are ten CDs of this music recorded by Robert King and the King's Consort. I've heard maybe half of them, and can't find a weak moment anywhere. But why push Volume 2 on you? Because Volume 1 is big music, more in the style of the Vivaldi you know. Volume 2 has more soloists, more subtle thrills. But be careful --- King's recordings of this music are definitive. And addictive. If you're not careful, you'll not only want them all, you'll start thinking seriously about a trip to Venice.

Deborah York is Exquisite.......2000-06-08

I purchased this recording shortly after the movie Shine was released because I was newly enchanted with Vivaldi's sacred music. It provides an excellent sampling of his motets and will appeal to those looking or some of the excellent, yet lesser known, works of this master.

Robert King and his King's Consort provide an excellent accompaniment to Deborah York and her colleagues. James Bowman has worked with King before and he is quite a good counter-tenor. The alto, Catherine Denley, is good, but Ms. York is simply divine.

There is an ornament in the Alleluia movement of the Nulla in Mundo Pax Sincera that causes me to pause every time I hear it. One might purchase this recording merely to hear that phrase.

Wonderful songs by Mexico's finest .......2005-10-17

The genre of Mexican music, corridos from the revolutionary period is best done by Mexico's favorite singer, actor, and cowboy, Antonio Aguilar. This CD is excellent, the sound is revitalized, crisp and clear!

The corrido is also known as folk music and it is the means of telling the story of this historic and cultural war experience from the 1800s, and probably the most famous was Mexico's hero, Francisco (Pancho) Villa. You will hear the stories of other battles, famous soldiers, leaders, political movements and assassinations about Zapata, General Benjamin Argumendo, and more.

One important aspect about corridos is to understand what the story is about. If you don't understand the language, you are missing out on a lot. Search for corridos of the revolution to find the translation of some of the songs and a deeper understanding of the time period.......MzRizz
