classic incognito.......2007-05-11

I felt this was a good album, I really enjoyed the horn section and what can you say about Maysa???!!! The price for the cd was a bit much ,but I'm an incognito fanatic and can't seem to get enough of their material. this collection is for the avid fan...

Capture the moment.......2001-03-28

Like Whitney say's One moment in time....she must have Incognito on her mind!

This cd is a great moment captured on one great cd! I seen incognito live in nyc, and popping the cd on brings back momments i wish I can re-live.....If you ready for a jammed pack...get up and dance..cry and shake you bom bom...this is the cd for you!

Got dancing shoes and a kleenex?

A rousing set worth every penny!.......2000-10-22

If you think Incognito is just a studio band think again. This live offering captures a tight, energetic, perfectly balanced band having a great time in Japan. Incognito fans will appreciate the ample song list loaded with favorites, but fear not; this isn't a boring greatest hits concert. There is a jam-session feel on several of the cuts and Maysa really shines with her own versions of Roots and Everday. The whole thing is mixed beautifully just as you'd expect from Bluey. Love it!

Strong performance..........2000-07-06

Bluey is bouncing on this one. If you are an incognito fan, you will want to get this CD.. Does a neat run little off of "Colibr" and the Ronnie Laws tune "Always there". Nice CD to drive with, just keep your eyes on the road while you're passing up the other cars on the freeway.. This is an import only? Hopefully there will be some more live CDs like this one in the future. The record lables may have to catch up first perhaps, they are a bit slow to creative music like this.

Better than a simple Greatest Hits CD!!.......1999-08-12

I hate "greatest hits" compilations, especially when I already own the original CDs. Live CDs, on the other hand, are something I look forward to with great anticipation. "Incognito: Tokyo Live" does not disappoint in the least.

I thouroughly love every track. An added bonus is the inclusion of a great rendition of one of my top-3 Incognito songs, "Always There". Excellent! The arrangements depart from the originals in unusual, creative, and exciting ways. The only thing that would have made this CD better for me would be if it was a double-CD. Ah well, next time.

The last truly great "old school" Céline album en français..........2005-01-15

From 1981-1985, Céline's earliest songs were written almost entirely by the late, great Eddy Marnay, songwriter to the likes of Edith Piaf, Nana Mouskouri, and Maurice Chevalier. Céline confided all of her dreams, her crushes, and her ambitions to Eddy, who created songs that captured the innocence and chaste crushes of childhood.

Around 1987, Céline underwent a drastic transformation from a gawkish teenager with long frizzy curls and pointed teeth to a confident, sexy young woman in preparation for her attempt to conquer the English-speaking market in Canada and south of the border (the United States). To reflect this change, Céline's manager and future husband René Angélil switched from Eddy Marnay to Québécois lyricist Luc Plamondon (easily recognized by his wild blond pompadour and extravagant sunglasses), the edgy creator of the mega-musical Starmania, La Légende de Jimmy and more recently, Notre Dame de Paris (Céline contributed a track, "Live for the One I Love," on the English cast album).

The lyrics and music on Incognito reflect this change, with Céline spunkily erasing the memory of her last boyfriend (Incognito), crooning her desire (Lolita--"Lolita isn't too young to love, not too young to give herself when desire consumes her body to her fingertips") (Jours de Fievre-"the world's more than a hundred degrees, I have heaven and hell, love and war inside of me...I burn and you'll burn with me"), and heartbreak (D'abord, c'est quoi l'amour-"You talk too much, you play with words. When you talk, I believe you...when you say "I love you," I understand it as "for life," but for you it's just for a night, and without knowing what love is, you spend your time talking about love").

The music is delightfully 1980's old school as well, with cheesy synth and drum machine overkill. Sultry sax solos heat things up on "Comme un coeur froid." Although dated, this is still my favourite "old" Céline album. The unique melodies are high-energy and rock-and-roll influenced (especially Incognito, Delivre-moi, and Jours de Fievre), a step up from the string-drenched puppy love ballads of Céline's earlier years. Slower ballads are still to be found in On Traverse un Mirroir, Partout Je Te Vois (rerecorded in English as "Have a Heart" on her first English album Unison (1990), and the strong closing track Comme Un Coeur Froid.

"Incognito" is, for me, is the pinnacle of Céline as a young woman---sexy, confident, and flirtatious, without belting out showstopping lovesick ballads. You can really hear how much her voice has matured from when she first began recording in 1981, or even from her previous album C'est Pour Toi (1985), with clear indicators of her future diva status. She is just experiencing her first taste of love and all the possibilities that await her. If you only buy one French-language Céline Dion CD, make it Incognito and hear what you've been missing!

Her Best French Album!.......2002-12-28

There's no doubt that this record is one of Céline's best of all times! This is my favourite french album, Céline comes back with a renewed style and look. With powerful ballads and atonishing dance hits that topped Canada's charts back in 1987. If you want to try Céline Dion this is the right one... believe me! Her voice is at its best and she's filled with energy!

Exquisite,magical sound.......2002-07-08

Beautiful music, delivered with great sensitivity. A work of art by an original

An absolute gem!.......2000-10-03

A young Celine singing in her native language makes for an incredible listening experience. It is 80s-like and lots fo fun. As someone else noted, if you like Celine, this is a must-have!

Incognito.......1999-12-29

Celine- whom is my favourite singer of all time's first CD is awesome. It is a must have if you are a French speaker or for that all time Celine Fan!

Customer Reviews:

A most enjoyable forza.......2005-10-12

I have to say this opera has worked its way upwards in my esteem the past couple of months or so. The first time I listened to it I thought the choice of soprano for this recording was a terrible one, but as time goes by I find that I get more and more used to her way of singing. I wouldn't take it as far as saying that Rosalind Plowright is a perfect Leonora; but even so her performance is good enough and she gets better towards the end of the opera.

The one that puts in an excellent performance here is my favourite mezzo soprano Baltsa who sings the part of Preziosilla. As always she's throwing herself heart and soul into the singing and she's adding that little extra to her performance that makes it a joy listening to her.

Renato Bruson who has a beautiful baritone is singing the part of Don Carlo di Vargas. In the duet "solenne in quest'ora" with Carreras he sounds wonderful. And his aria "urna fatale" is pure delight.

The one I have reservations about is Mark Curtis who sings the part of Trabucco. As always it's a matter of taste, but I find his voice to be unpleasant listening to.

José Carreras sings the part of Don Alvaro and to my ears he sounds wonderful even if this was recorded in 1985 and many claim that his voice was way past his sell by date. I read a review from BelCanto regarding his "Forza" video performance in 1978 and they states that "In the aria Solenne in quest'ora he sings the phrase "vi stringo al cor mio" in one breath, a feat not even managed by Franco "big breath" Corelli". This made me curious to check whether he could still do the same in this recording 7 years later, so I sat down and listened closely to this particular aria. And guess what - HE DID IT!!!! And it sounds heavenly; absolutely heavenly. Carreras is like always a committed singer from beginning to end of this opera and gives it all in every aria. And when the result is as good as this; what more can one possibly want? To me, the most important thing isn't how loud a singer can be; what I'm looking for is a singer who can stir my emotions and in this respect Carreras is unsurpassed.

The rest of the supporting cast is adequate and makes this "Forza" an enjoyable experience.

Wonderful conducting, but problematic leads.......2005-09-27

Sinopoli was a very imaginative Verdi conductor and deserved better here. In ruth there was no Verdi dramatic soprano at the time who could sing Leonora to a high standard, and with Domingo already tired to the Levine set on RCA, and Pavarotti not having this role in his repertory (Don Alvaro is almost as heavy as Rhadames, which also was a strain for Pavarotti), Carreras was the logical choice, He does as good a job as you could want, and Rosalind Plowright has the notes for the part, despite having a peculiarly covered voice with curdled high notes.

I owuld still defend this La Forza for the atmospheric sound and Sinopoli's wonderful conducting, but of course that's not enough to make a successful opera overall.

Lively conducting and fine Bruson, Pons and Baltsa!.......2004-05-16

Sinopoli's usually bombastic conducting is more controlled in this Forza than on some of his other Verdi recordings. The problems lie in his cast.

By the time this recording was made, Carreras' voice had lost most of the qualities that made him one of the greatest Verdi tenors ever! Granted, the sense of drama and understanding of Verdi's music is still legendary but, alas, the wear and wobble in the voice are unbearable especially if you have in mind the prime Carreras. He was in pristine shape for his La Scala Forza with Caballe in 1978.

It was a good idea to finally hear a new soprano in a studio recording but casting Plowright wasn't the wisest choice. She has a some fine moments but her high notes are pinched and her Leonora on the whole forgettable. I wonder why DG didn't consider Millo or Barstow. Newcomers and both wonderful Verdi sopranos. Millo especially would have made a great Leonora di Vargas.

Bruson, Pons and Baltsa are this set's strengths. Bruson remains one of the best Verdi baritones of any time! His big, handsome voice is exactly what this role needs. Burchuladze is adequate. The less famous Juan Pons impressed me since I first heard him during the Barcelona Olympic Games. His warm, firm bass is terrific though he could sing more excitingly. The also underrated Agnes Baltsa gives a superb performance of Preziosilla's thankless role. It's such a pity that her scenes are this opera's less memorable moments.

In general, this is neither the worst nor the ultimate Forza del Destino. Mitropoulos' live '53 Firenze reading with the unequalled Mario Del Monaco and Renata Tebaldi remains the golden standard.

very mixed.......2000-04-02

This recording is typical of the thrown together casts which got classical record companies into trouble. The vagaries of style and diction between the Padre Guardiano and Leonora in their dialogue - for example - makes you wonder if they are indeed supposed to be singing the same language. Carreras copes heroically with his dimishing resources and Bruson handles his under-sized voice very capably. Sinopoli's conducting, hasty, ill tempered and poorly organized, is particularly sad when compared to Serafin, Marinuzzi or Schippers on other (more or less) complete recordings. Overall, Levine's RCA cast pulls together for the best Forza in stereo.

A+.......1999-04-10

This is, of course, a matter of preference, but this La Forza has been my favorite for the last five years. From it's most dramatic thunderous rendition of the famous overture to "Salita a Dio", it simply has no flaws. It has a great combination of principals - Carreras, Bruson and Plowright, all singing with utmost sincerity and power. The supporting roles are just as nicely cast. We can enjoy a real "gitana" portrayal by Agnes Baltsa as Preziosilla, unmatched on record, an imposing patriarchal image of Padre Guardino conveyed with ease by Paata Burchuladze, and interesting and amusing choice of Juan Pons for Fra Melitone. All these singers are well versed in Verdian repertoire, having performed numerous roles many times on stage and on record. Fantastic "Solemne in quest'ora" is reminiscent of well-known Del Monaco/Bastianini duet. Carreras's "La vita e inferno all'infelice" narrative is unique on record. It's not pitiful whining, as so many tenors sang it before, but it's a challenge to the cruel destiny! Grim determination of Bruson's Don Carlo makes him a perfect weapon in the hands of fate. Rosalind Plowright has a lovely voice and fine breath control; her romanza "Me Pellegrina ed orfana" is a real treat. (The only very minor nuisance is Mark Curtis' Trabuco; his weak and practically cracking voice is quite irritating, so I was glad Trabuco has only 3-plus minutes of "fame".) Sinopoli's intense rendition, sometimes maybe too loud for some ears, is appropriate since it provides good background for action. It's more similar to Gergiev's great vehement attempt at the original St. Petersburg 1863 version than to Muti's carefully polished presentation of familiar 1869 revision used for this recording as well. Overall, any serious Verdi fan cannot call his/her collection complete without this set, even if you have the celebrated Gardelli or Levine sets already. Not to mention the fact that DG provides great digital recording and comprehensive informative booklet.

all i can say, is that incognito is a great album, but japanese imports aren't worth the money for the bonus tracks. just go out and buy the original version, and with the extra money you've saved, get "making friends" it's a lot better than incognito, even, and you'll still have money left over to buy lunch.
