Expedicion not a revolution
Maria Laura Fernandez | 09/10/2002
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Being a fan of Silvio's guitar-based work, I should admit my prejudice upfront, which is that this is heavily orchestral production, signficiantly free of Silvio's guitar playing. Some songs would be stronger, one can tell, if a guitar (or any bassier intrument) were present to add some weight to the song structure. But in addition to this, Expedicion might not excite loyal listeners because there is a serious lack of revolutionary ideology in these songs. And as largely a collection of 'romantic songs' these lack the intimate feel and philosophical intelligence of his trademark work. Still, a very talented artist offering well crafted songs, if not watered down to reach, it would seem, a larger, less critical audience."
GRACIAS SILVIO
Sergio Bernales | Lima, Perú | 12/10/2002

"Realmente maravilloso, se deja escuchar de largo como lo era Al Final de este Viaje, puedes escuchar todo el repertorio y pensar que pasaron cinco minutos. Debe tener algo mágico de parte de "El Aprendiz de Brujo" pues mi hija de apenas dos años y medio goza con el disco y pide que lo toquen, especialmente, Totí. Simplemente MARAVILLOSO, ya no sorprende. Gracias Silvio."
EXPEDICION HACIA EL CENTRO ....

"SILVIO RODRIGUEZ ES CUBANO...... NO ES EL ITALIANO PAVAROTTI, NI EL MEJICANO LUIS MIGUEL, PARA NUESTRA FORTUNA. ES EL MEJOR CRONISTA DE LOS PENSARES Y SENTIRES DE TODA LA AMERICA NUESTRA. TODA LA OBRA DISCOGRAFICA DE ESTE TROVADOR LATINOAMERICANO ES UN ROMPECABEZAS BIEN PENSADO Y SENTIDO DEL CUAL EXPEDICION ES UNA PIEZA QUE ENCAJA PERFECTAMENTE EN SU BITACORA DE VUELO. LOS NAUFRAGOS DE IDENTIDAD PUEDEN SEGUIR EL CAMINO TRAZADO POR SILVIO........ES GRATIS."
