beautiful ,beautiful.......2007-05-27

I am not a music critic nor do I "know" much about music but if you love lovely violin music you will love this.

Great Recording.......2007-01-04

The Kreisler pieces are played exceptionally well. The one disc alone is worth the price of the double disc collection. Great playing.

Customer Reviews:

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.

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!

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!

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.

Average customer rating: Excellent, but What Are the Words? outstanding collection Awesome 7.5 hours of superb music at a most reasonable price.

Excellent, but What Are the Words?.......2006-07-04

This is a wonderful collection of music spanning many centuries, some of which you are unlikely to encounter anywhere else. The performances are beautiful, too. The one drawback is that the liner notes contain very few song text translations, a big problem for a large CD set with music that is primarily vocal.

outstanding collection.......2002-09-27

I have quite a number of CDs with Medieval Age polyphony, byzantine chant and renaissance music, but this collection goes beyond what could usually be expected from such boxsets. I'd highly recommend it to all.

Awesome.......2001-09-20

This is the best collection of medieval music I have ever heard. The performances are top-notch, and all of the songs are well done. I highly reccomend this collection not only for fans of medieval music, but for any music lover.

7.5 hours of superb music at a most reasonable price........1999-12-24

There isn't a clunker in this set. All the performers are top drawer and the recordings are good. The notes are a little brief and a bit scholarly, but can be ignored easily.

You will get an idea of the different kinds of medieval music as well as the top groups and soloists working currently in the field.

When I got this set, my mother and I listened to all 7+ hours straight through. We then started buying CDs from the different performers we had to hear more from.

At twice the price, this would still be an excellent addition to any classical or medieval music collection, as well as the best introduction to medieval music around.

Nice collection of operatic dances.......2004-12-12

This is another wonderful issue from the naxos opera collection. The dances are the standards that appear on many other collections, but not a such a low price. These dances are all enchantingly played.

The new CD was recorded and issued to celebrate the 75th birthday of a legendary violinist who has never become a mainstream superstar. As Haendel's early recordings--like the ones on the bonus CD included here, or the concerto recordings on Testament--demonstrate, she has long been a patrician interpreter of the highest musical and technical standards. In fact, she may be a shade too patrician for some of the repertoire on this recording. With Ashkenazy in uncommonly vigorous and assertive form, Haendel, although always in command of the music and her instrument, doesn't play these mostly folk-based Eastern European showpieces with the kind of flair they invite. She is always sensible and never exactly sleepy, but her Enescu, for example, is much more polite than Menuhin's. The bonus CD, though, despite showing its age and mild lingering effects of Decca's noisy 78s pressings, gives us a more powerful, exciting Haendel, and it's worth more than the asking price of the set. --Leslie Gerber

A sensation nonetheless.......2003-12-07

Dependent upon what "mainstream" in the editorial review stands for - if that means Elman, Oistrakh, Perlman: the most selling violinists in the biggest market, Haendel is indeed off the mainstream. Otherwise, the more selling, the more they are off the mainstream instead, as most of the cases turn out to be.

But Haendel in this case did make it clear that she herself was not happy with the record. The causes? There are quite a number of them. Ashkenazy is a celebrity and he is selling. But is he the right partner for her for this repertiore? Could Eschenbach or even Zimmermann be a better choice? Would we have something quite different if this record comes out a decade or two ( or even three) earlier...?

In any event, not many of us are equally familiar with these pieces and so to many of us, they are fresh and appealing like nothing else. Haendel is still deservingly the Queen of the Violin, and hopefully Ashkensazy is as selling as ever.

Recommended for those who relish either Eastern Europe music or the drama and lyricism of Haendel's playing, or both.

Frolicking with Ida and Vladimir.......2000-08-04

Nearly a generation before Glenn Gould's towering 1955 recording of the Goldberg variations, Ida Haendel had recorded Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Kreisler and others on Decca. About a generation after Gould's 1982 swansong reprise of the Goldbergs, Ida Haendel was still firing on all eight cylinders (or was it four? Her birth year is variously reported as 1928 and 1924). This 2-CD set captures important fragments from both the early and more recent stages of this remarkable career.

Ida Haendel was wisked out of Poland by her parents in 1939, landed in London, studied with Carl Flesch and Henryk Szering and others, and by Henry Roth's count produced 83 phonograph records. On the first disk here, Ms. Haendel is graciously accompanied by superstar Vladimir Ashkenazy, who is especially exuberant and in top form technically as well. The two quite obviously had a fine old time frolicking together through Eastern European music by Enescu, Bartok and Szymanowski. The second disk, an extraordinary bonus, is a bit scratchy at times, but Haendel's youthful virtuousity is clearly revealed through the haze.

Wow.......2000-07-30

I just got this CD yesterday and am still listening and absorbing, but it has to be said that the bonus CD is truly remarkable, while the Haendel/Ashkenazy coupling in Szymanovsi's "Mythes" is stunning...very heroic and convincing music making done by both artists.

for shame!.......2003-05-22

[...]Heifetz is incomparable; everyone ought to have a disc of him playing showpieces, and I see no reason why this shouldn't be that disc. He recorded for RCA with better sound quality, but these early recordings are what made him famous. The second piece, a transcription of a Strauss song, is a model of "vocal-style" playing. This is what the violin should sound like. I was absolutely transfixed by this CD, and if you have any emotions you will be too. [...]

Wonderful recordings by the young Jascha Heifetz.......2002-07-19

These old (1920s) recordings are amazing in the modernity of Heifetz's musical conception and style, as well as in the reliability of his technique. They are among those recordings with which Heifetz created an entirely new aesthetic and technical standard for violin playing, a standard that is controlling to this day. He simply moved violin playing into the modern age. For example, the way Itzhak Perlman, Pinchas Zukerman and Hilary Hahn play violin (strong, smooth, even tone; total technical reliability; carefully restrained emotion; the complete ease and understatement with which even the most difficult passages are mastered) is simply inconceivable without the pervasive influence exerted by Jascha Heifetz. And these recordings let us witness how he did it, how he single-handedly revolutionized violin playing (and, together with Toscanin and Horowitz, classical music in general). It's great stuff, and in many ways he is better, more exciting to listen to, than all those that had the misfortune of coming after him. The review below is exceptionally silly for taking Heifetz to task for minor technical issues. When he recorded these pieces, there was no splicing, no re-recording passages that didn't work out so well, no electronic tricks. not only are these recordings essential to the history of musical interpretation, they're also simply great fun to listen to.

Not Up to Par.......2001-12-31

Heifetz is one of my idols, but sadly enough, he disappoints me here. His La Ronde de Lutins is quite bad. He misses the D harmonics, and tends to be overpowered by Emanuel Bay, his pianist. He tends towards an unnecessary accelerando when playing the F sharp on all four strings. His double artificial harmonics following this passage aren't always clear, nor played as a chord. The song goes smoothly for a while, then you get to the pizzicato section. His pizzicato isn't loud enough to overpower the piano, which is playing annoyingly loud. Antonio Bazzini was a violinist himself, but never really enjoyed the fame of Paganini or Sarasate or Heifetz. He preferred to compose. He went to the Padua school of music and taught such greats as Puccini. Although his music sounds nothing like theirs, I don't really like Strauss' works, but this one I found to be nice. It is melodic and grows on you. You really love this piece after a while. The Concert Polonaise by Wieniawski is one of my favorites. An exercise in virtuosity tempered with delightful melodies. Heifetz as usual, takes it at a blazing speed. Interestingly enough, you don't notice it until the song is over. This is performed as Wieniawski would have performed it - with class and with speed. I have another recording by Aaron Rosand in which he has an orchestra accompanying him. I really like that. The Meditation by Glazunov is really romantic and dreamy. It is a great way to relax and Heifetz interprets this song beautifully. The only setback of this track is the hiss. If you are a person that likes "white noise", you won't be bothered by it. I don't believe in "white noise". For me, the hiss distracts me from the music. The Scherzo - Tarantelle is a real show off piece with little to no musicality. I like it because it is fast and catchy. L'enfant Prodigue is a song with many layers. Superficially it is very nice, but the deeper you go into it, the better it gets. Debussy was a phenomenal composer who helped with the leap from the Romantic era to the Modern era. But, he did it with grace. His early opus numbers are romantic, but as the opus numbers increase, so does the number of new stylistic devises. I love Spanish music, and Albeniz is one of my favorite Spanish composers. The song is a light song that drifts gaily through the air, infecting all that hear it with a sudden happiness. It is truly a wonderful piece. Elgar is a great composer for the violin. He wrote a truly magnificent concerto for the violin that is filled with passion. His La Capricieuse is a great encore piece. It also has a lot of musical value for violinists. If you want to learn how to do really good up bow or down bow staccato, this is a must play piece. The introduction is really stiff, and you don't want to welcome this music, but before you know it, you love it. Moritz Moszkowski was a great composer. His Guitarre, transcribed by Sarasate has become a solid piece in the violin literature. He plays it for all it's worth and doesn't flub a single note. The harmonics are pristine and float above the rest of the music, like it's supposed to. The Danza Espanola Number one is my favorite. It is really mysterious in the beginning, and then flourishes into a lively dance. The ending starts softly, then grows louder and louder to grand triumphant conclusion. The one sad thing about this is the background noise. I am not a fan of modern composers, and the Tallahassee Suite did not really appeal to my ear buds. It was nice, but lacked the depth of the romantic era. The Ruralia Hungarica is a nice song. When I close my eyes, I feel as if I'm in a whirlpool being swirled in sound. Laugh if you want, but it's the truth. The Valse by Castelnuovo - Tedesco is a song that appeals to a selective few. I am not one of those few. I find the notes to be strewn all over the place. The movement perpetuels have a delightful simple tune that just struck me a s genious. How someone make such a catchy tune that uses very few notes? Well, he does. Hora Staccato is a great song that became Heifetz's trademark. This is a good recording, except for the scratchiness in some of his down bow staccato. RCA Victor released the same recording on their CD "Heifetz Violin Greatest Hits". The Vivaldi Sonata was a bit of a disappointment because I remembered the Four Seasons and the virtuoso solo parts. Then, I realized that the Four Seasons was a later composition when he was much stronger technically. This sonata was short brief, but catchy. I think that Heifetz misses most of the musical content in it though. Paganini was the greatest technician that ever lived. Born with Marfan's syndrome, he nearly died at birth. His health was constantly bad, but he continued on. His amazingly elastic fingers allowed him to perform the most impossible feats on the violin. His 13th caprice starts out sounding like a person laughing. The fast section is pretty well played. He misses the chords though, and his attempts to reach them sound really scratchy. I much prefer the one played by Michael Rabin. That one is perfect. The Bach English Suite is pretty nice. The second part is well known Suzuki student. I really don't like it that much though. Cesar Frank was an organist. His Symphony is supposed to be like an organ, in the sense that there are no breaks. His Sonata is very nice. It flows and is very violinistic, meaning that it seems like it was made for the violin. It is really catchy and almost is at a walking speed.

Finally, if you have read my entire review, I congratulate you. Apart from that, unless you like music by Schoenberg or Berg, you won't appreciate this CD to it's full worth.

Amazing Religious and Profane music from the 15th Century.......2004-02-23

The works on this 2-CD set all come from a single source: a document called "Cancionero de Montecassino" which is believed to contain works composed between 1430 and 1480. Somehow the document has survived down through the centuries; it was almost lost when the Abbey where it was stored was bombed in 1944. Luckily the document survived so that this amazing CD set could be recorded by the - also amazing - Le Capella Reial de Catalunya.

This CD is the second in a series entitled "Musicas Reales", the first of which being "Carlos V" containing works mainly from the 16th century. If you enjoyed that one, then "Alfons V el Magnanim" will be a welcome addition to your CD spinner.

There is beautiful polyphony, harmony, pieces for single and multiple voices, trumpets, violins, and much much more all packed into 2 CDs that run over an hour each (CD1 is over 71 minutes long, CD2 is over 74 minutes long, so you get plenty of music for the price). The musicians and choir are stunning, and the music will stick with you long after the CDs stop rotating.

The first CD focuses on the Religious music contained in the Cancionero de Montecassino, and is thus more subdued and ethereal than the second CD which contains profane music from the same source. The second CD has some uppidty tunes and the mood is drastically different from the relatively more subdued first CD. The CDs together represent a wide range of the music of the 15th century. Alfons V made Naples his homebase, and from this city he attracted musicians from all over - what was then known as - "the world". Thus, this collection is really an amalgam of many styles and contains music sung in many languages. The CD booklet contains much information about Alfons V, the Cancionero de Montecassino, and the music on these CDs (in 6 languages, which is typical for Alia Vox). This collection is well worth the price and will reward many listenings for any fan of early Renaissance music.
