CD Reviews

Beware! two old CDs reissued with a new name
Shauna S. Roberts | Riverside, CA USA | 08/02/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I bought this CD with great anticipation because I love Spanish music of this era. To my disappointment, this was not a new recording, but a reissue of two CDs I already own: "1492: Music from the Age of Discovery" and "Traveler." If you don't have these CDs already, this double set is a great bargain. But check your CD rack before buying!"
A reworking of a prior disc - but now with 2 CDs

"I was pleased to see that one of my favorite CDs had not really gone out of print, but was reworked into this title and now with a bonus CD. Even though I own the original "Music from the Age of Discovery 1492", I'll probably buy this disc just for the extras. Very nice mood music, lots of variety, exotic instruments and lovely voices."
Two very different 'faces'

"This 2-disk set was not quite what I thought I was expecting. Each disk is so different. The first, IMO, is the better of the two because it is so varied. Tres Moricas and La Spagna certainly took me, pleasantly, by surprise. The Moorish and Jewish pieces are definitely earcatching while the other, European, pieces are no musical slouches either. All in all, a very nice mix. Disk 2 is a lot less varied, but then the program is more homogenous, so I can understand not wanting to 'mix things up' and deviate from the overall feeling. All performances, both disks, are IMO masterful and anyone who likesmusic of this period will certainly NOT be disappointed. There are other things I can add, but then... this is about discovery... That goes for the listener as well, so I won't give away the ending! Two thumbs up."
