It is not possible to fit 36 Bach masterpieces on two CDs, so what Essential Bach does is present individual movements from across a range of the composer's work. The anthology is clearly aimed at the newcomer, and the absence of booklet notes to put the music in context is disappointing. We are only given titles, performers, and what films the extracts have been featured in, from Rollerball to The English Patient.

On the plus side, most if not all of the music is instantly recognizable, by melody if not by name. Everything from the Brandenburg Concertos to "Air on a G String" to the B Minor Mass and St. Matthew Passion is represented. Performances range from 1960 to 1993, encompassing both early instrument and modern orchestra interpretations by a wide variety of forces, including Sir Neville Marriner with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields and Raymond Leppard leading the English Chamber Orchestra. Given such diversity the result is unavoidably a patchwork, albeit one made from the finest materials, and as such is perhaps best treated as a sampler to aid exploration of the vast legacy of one of the very greatest composers who ever lived. --Gary S. Dalkin, Amazon.co.uk

This is a good basic primer. A true Bach lover might find a better selection/orchestra.

Excellent collection of mostly recognizeable music.......2005-03-18

LOVE LOVE LOVE this 2-CD set. I bought I a awhile back and have enjoyed it very much. My toddler likes it too. I think it's a great value for the money and may have to get another copy if this one wears out.

Exquisite Essential Bach.......2005-02-01

Value and exquisite sampler of Bach on two CD's at an affordable price. Recorded by the likes primarily of Academy of the St. Martin-in-the-fields, Chicago Sympony, Boston Symphony, English Chamber Orchestra and with virtuoso performers as William Bennett, Heinz Hollinger, Pepe Romero, and Wolfgang Rubsam, one gets treated to wonderful Bach exerpts of all his fantastic breath and depth of chamber, symphony and choral works.

One will have to go to other places to find background on these marvelous compositions as the liner notes only list perfomer and date recorded.

Good.......2004-07-13

these gregorian chants are very calming . If your riding in your car, walking , or just sitting . it makes for excellent listening.

Beautiful. Just like the first Chant. This is my "mellow out", puts me to sleep music. I didn't care for the applause at the end, but it's still a beautiful CD.

An album with passionante songs, color, life, energy and authentic Mexican spirit.
I like Vicente Fernandez voice, especially when he stresses some words in full voice and the voice sounds a bit rough.
Good music , good sound.

A must have ............2004-12-23

This compilation with Historia de un Idolo 1 is a must have for every Vicente Fernandez fan, fans of rancheras, and those who love Mexican music.This CD contains some of his most popular songs like Volver, Volver and De Que Manera te Olvido. The 2 compilations Historia 1 & 2 also has sn interview with Vicente Fernandez in the cover and some wonderful pictures including him recieving his star on the Walk of Fame. I was fortunate to see him live in Madison Sq. Garden last October and I was amazed at his voice, still beautiful and powerful as ever. He sang for two and haft hours without intermission. He is indeed a legend.....

A must have for fans of "El Rey"!.......2003-01-14

This CD is outstanding! Even those who burn thier own CD's would have a tough time putting together a greater collection of gutsy and classic Chente performances.
This disc includes perhaps his best-known and loved tune (Volver, Volver) and many other really superb songs ranging from very early to very recent in his career. In my view, great variety and choice of tunes from start to finish make this one of his best, better even than "Historia, Vol. 1" which is a very good CD as well. If you are a Vicente Fernandez fan but don't wish to go broke trying to purchase 50-plus CD's to get most of his greatest songs, one of your first Chente discs should be this one. "Historia De Un Idolo, Vol. II" easily earns five stars, even when compared to the rest of Chente's outstanding and abundant catalog of music.

Pushing the musical envelope with each successive album, the young Alejandro Fernandez went for broke on this fusion of pop balladry and trad rancheras. In a smart move, he picked veteran studio wiz Emilio Estefan Jr. to come up with a winning recipe--great material and excellent musicianship to back up a topflight singer. Gloria Estefan teams up with Fernandez in the duet "En el Jardin," a touching tune about finding true love. But it's on the inspirational song "Yo Naci para Amarte" that Fernandez's velvety baritone fuses passion with power as he sings of coming to terms with destiny. On the same level is "No Se Olvidar," in which he conveys the fear of solitude that coexists with the drive of personal conviction. Both songs radiate with a potent mix of emotion, from angry yells to desperate pleadings. --Ramiro Burr

Alex has the most sensuous voice I've ever heard in a male artist. Smooth, deep, rich. The lyrics are just breathtaking as well - tastefully intimate which is highly appreciated.

In less than a decade, Alejandro Fernández has emerged as one of Mexico's leading young performers by effortlessly balancing the solid ranchera sounds of his father Vicente Fernández with the slick balladry of contemporaries like Enrique Iglesias. On Entre Tus Brazos, however, Fernández sticks a bit too close to the formula of his past successes. His deep, expressive voice glides nicely around the sensual rhythms of "Háblame" and "Quiéreme," but there's a sense of slick detachment that courses throughout most of the tracks, all of which were produced by Emilio Estefan, Jr. Every song is awash in sound-alike string arrangements and tortured-love lyrics. The tempo picks up here and there, but this glossy collection is likely to induce more sleep than swoons. --Joey Guerra

Customer Reviews:

What a fantasy...........2005-07-06

What can I say that hasn't been said regarding this wonderfully thought out album? The music alone is captivating, AF voice is beyond realm. No one can touch me musically as he has and that's saying a lot considering i'm a rock-n-roll type of girl. Each song is sung in such a way that allows you to be there with him, he captures your attention immedietely and doesn't let go until the last track of the album. I love his style of singing and his velvety voice. I'm a new fan and will remain one until the ends of days......

Such passion!.......2004-12-20

When I first was introduced to his music, I immediately fell in love with his style, his passion, and beautiful voice. This is one of my favorite cd's. I also love his new cd, "A Corazon Abierto". I also enjoy Luis Miguel, who also has a beautiful voice as well, among many other Latin artists. But I think Alejandro will always be my favorite. His voice and music is so sensual and passionate, so moving, and flows so smoothly. I like that he seems to have savored some of his father's style and blended it in with his own to make such wonderful music. And at such a young age, we will be very fortunate to enjoy his terrific voice for many years to come. I would highly recommend this cd.

SWOON.....THUD!!!!!!!.......2003-06-30

First Off Alejandro Fernandez Has The Most Beautifully Stunning Male Voice Ever Created!!!! As For This Cd, Every Song Is Breathtaking & Wonderfully Arranged & Produced. The Title Song Is Simply Beyond Words And I Will Not Try To Explain It's Beauty, I Will Just Say I Get Chills Everytime I Hear It!!! The Fact That Alejandro Is Not More Popular Here In The State Is A True Shame!!!! If You Enjoy A Beautiful,Magical Voice Singing Romantic Glorious Songs Please Buy This Cd & Enjoy!!!!

simplemente bello.......2001-05-17

After buying Loco, I decided to go for some of his newer pop stuff. With his beautiful voice and charming appearance. (LOL) I was not disappointed. This cd is really beautiful. I love all the songs. The songs are passionate, beautiful, and romantic. 2 thumbs up!

Incredibly beautiful, romantic album.......2001-04-17

I am overwhelmed in the extreme by this wonderful CD. Every single song on this CD is absoultely beautiful, Alejandro's voice is just about the most gorgeous and expressive voice I have heard, deeply masculine, vividly evocative and emotional, yet never overly sentimental. The arrangements are lovely and sophisticated. I have become so possesed by this music, my only problem is not to play it every day. I want to because it really takes me to a wonderful romantic place that I like being.

While at first there seemed little variation in mood between the songs, the subtle changes soon became in evident. You do not need to understand Spanish, but I sure wish I did, it is so romantic and passionate.

Furthermore, the sound quality is superb, and with 13 songs at 57 minutes total, it is an uncommonly generous package. Special regoginition must go to Kiki Santander for writing 7 of these wonderful songs, and Emilio Estefan for his production.

And to top it all off, Alejandro is one of the most handsome, sexy men imaginable, wonderful to picture seeing these songs!

Anyone who has in interest in Latin male vocals, should buy this CD immediately, and it is worth whatever price you pay for it.

Ranchera heartthrob Alejandro Fernandez polishes up his sound on A Corazon Abierto, his first pop album since 2000's Entre Tus Brazos. That effort was marred by Emilio Estefan's bland production and repetitive instrumentation, but Fernandez diversifies on Corazon, enlisting the help of Aureo Baqueiro (Sin Bandera, Aleks Syntek) and Kike Santander, producer of choice for a dazzling roster of artists, including Thalia, Gloria Estefan, Jennifer Lopez, and David Bisbal. They wrap Fernandez's swoon-inducing voice in lush instrumentation, veering from somber ballads ("Para Vivir," "Me Dedique a Perderte") to galloping uptempo tracks ("Se Va," "Canta Corazon"). Fernandez's mariachi sensibilities have often been muzzled during his pop-flavored outings, but the flamenco-guitar flourishes and blaring horns actually seem to play up his trademark sound and style. It makes for a confident collection that cleverly straddles both genres and makes the most of Fernandez's sexy--and often thrilling--voice. --Joey Guerra

Customer Reviews:

Alejandro.......2007-03-09

I love this album - Alejandro Fernandez is so good. I'm waiting for his next album!

AMAZING.......2006-11-10

I love the way Alejandro Fernandez sang, because he feel what he said.Its a great performance

Solid Work.......2006-08-17

I guess everyone has their own opinion of this album. Personally, I enjoyed it very much. I've been a fan of Alejandro's music for about 14 years, and It's been amazing to see the evolution. From a youngster attempting to imitate his father's voice (which, if you know Chente's music, it cannot be done)to a completely independant and mature artist.

I tend to disagree with those who say that Entre Tus Brazos is his best pop album. Personally, I believe that is his weakest album. I am one of those fans who prefers to hear him sing those rancheras, but I also realize that part of the evolution and growth of a performer is the constant reinventing and the willingness to explore new areas. I know that he became famous singing such hits as "Se Me Van Las Ganas" "Piel de Nina", and "Como Quien Pierde Una Estrella", but I also know that he has consolidated himself as a true superstar with his latter works.

This particular album starts out strong but dies off just a bit, and just when you think you're going to turn it off, he comes at you with another good song. My personal favorites are "Canta Corazon" "Me Dedique a Perderte" "Que Voy a Hacer Con Mi Amor" "Que Lastima" and "Se Va". 6 out of 13 isn't bad, and those are just the ones I like most. It's definitely worth buying.

Balancing Tradition and Emotion!.......2006-04-24

I do not comprehend the words, yet this superb artist has the ability to transfer his emotions past the barriers of language. The AF phenomenon can only go from strength to strength! I am looking forward to my next Latin music purchase!

Nice balance between the Alejandro's ranchera and pop voices.......2005-12-29

While his pop debut "Me Estoy Enamorando" may have been too pop for fans of traditional ranchera music and the ranchera albums that established him as a force in Mexican music did not suit the tastes of mainstream pop audiences, "A Corazon Abierto" strikes the proper balance between the two.

On this album, florid ranchera instrumentation combined with Fernandez's rich, buttery vocals and pop melodies result in a production everyone will enjoy. At the same time, the album leaves listeners nostalgic for their Alejandro Ferdandez---whether that is the sultry pop version or the charro suit, mariachi version.

Pay special attention to "Canta Corazon", an irreverent but infectious love song. High points of the album also include "Que Voy a Hacer Con Mi Amor" and "Me Dedique A Perderte".

LO MEJOR DE LO MEJOR.......2002-03-29

Una grabacion
magistral de los
clasicos de Manuel de Falla.
Este disco contiene el famoso
"Homage a Debussy" la unica
obra original compuesta para
guitarra por la mano del compositor.
Tremenda grabaccion, como para no
perdersela a ese precio...

A Very Fine Compilation.......2000-05-17

"The Essential Falla" is just that, including all of Manuel de Falla's major works (performed by the likes of Dutoit, Fruhbeck de Burgos and de Larrocha) on these two CDs. Highlights are excellent performances of Falla's three most famous works: "El amor brujo", "Noches en los jardines de Espana" and "El Sombrero de tres picos". The rest of the included music is perhaps less well-know but no less enjoyable. Perhaps the only quibble I have with this CD is the enclusion of the Harpsicord Concerto. While it is an enjoyable piece, it is very much a Stravinsky-esque neo-classical work, and it seems somewhat out of place amongst Falla's other, very Spanish, works. Nonetheless, if you enjoy 20th Century Spanish music, this CD is indeed an essential.

La Voz Romantica de Mexico ... Powerful.......2005-07-31

Outstanding music from the past to present. Awesome memorabilia set. There are songs on this CD that goes down in history forever.

Vicente's voice is smooth, expressive and passionate. All his music delivers his convictions of love in your ears.

A great CD to own. Pick up the second half of this two CD set, and get more from Doñ Vicente Fernandez and just lay back and listen.

This is the one.......2004-12-08

This is the one Chente Cd you would want to have left in your car if your house burned down. This is the one you'll always come back to after staying out all night with those other 'viejas'. By the way I really wish they would put more info in the sleeves like lyrics or some nice sombrero poses. Please Don Chente, have someone 'fix' your website too, please?

Incomparable !.......2004-11-10

A wonderful compilation of the most popular songs sung by the the legendary Vicente Fernandez. This album and Historia de un Idolo 2 is a must have for anyone that loves Vicente, musica ranchera or love Mexican music. His voice is incredibly beautiful, and powerful. I went to see him live in Madison Sq. Garden and he sounds exactly the same. His voice as beautiful as ever. He sang for 2 and a haft hours without intermission. Chente is in a class by himself. Incomparable !

Excellent sampling of greats from"El Rey"!.......2003-01-23

This is another "must have" Chente CD with a bunch of his truly classic songs. Like one of the other reviewers said, Vicente Fernandez can be compared to Frank Sinatra in both his mastery and popularity in his chosen form of music. But even Frank did'nt have pipes like these! "El Rey" is in a class of his own.
Some of the best tunes here include the beautiful "Lastima Que Seas Ajena" and the powerfully mournful "Que De Raro Tiene". Still, the tops on this CD and one of his best ever is the heart-wrenching "Mi Viejo". It would take a rather heartless soul to not be moved by this song. It's that good.
As good as this collection is, I give it four stars only because overall, I like the song selection on "Historia, Vol. 2" a little better. This is, however, just my personal taste and most Chente fans will be very happy with either one of these discs. In fact, these two CD's would give a new Chente fan an excellent introduction to his music.

Wow.......2002-10-27

This album is terrific. All of the songs take me back to the days of the old Mexican west, and Vincente seems to be living his songs as he sings them. I play this cd over and over, I can't get enough.
