CD Reviews

Wrong recording!
10/30/2001
(2 out of 5 stars)

"The idea of an "operatic" recording of this work is a bit like that of a "rock" version of a Bach cantata: wrong, wrong, wrong. Get the Barbarossa (#01302-2) recording, conducted by Theodorakis, sung by Maria Farandouri and Heiner Vogt, recorded live in Berlin in 1980; THAT'S the way C.G. is supposed to sound: filled with passion and a sense of coming from the hearts of the people."
Fabulous, a melting taste of classical & spanish music ...

"A delight for the ear and a pleasure for the soul ... It is difficult to translate the feelings when listening this music. Theodorakis and P. Neruda achived with their composition "Canto General" a master piece. I recommend it to those who are searching for something really good. If you are planning this CD for a gift, don't do it without buying one for yourself."
Splendid! ˇFantastico!

"I heard this on Boston's National Public Radio and knew immiediately that it was the work of genius. Neruda's poetry set to song! It's in Spanish, but even if one doesn't speak the language, the music is a language all it's own."
