"As the other reviewers have noted, her performance is sometimes raw."
"Sonya is now sitting on top of the Opera world..........And so well deserved."
"Handel is dangerous that way, but one has only to listen to a Hunt-Lieberson, DiDonato or Dessay to hear how much more the voice can do when willing to let go of its inherent beauty, take a risk with the text, and not be so careful just because it's Handel."
"Gosh, this surpassed my expectations."
"Elevating your senses into another realm."

"Great,fast shiping,thanks."
"What can I say about this Orquesta than hasn't already been said."
"The CD has great variety from Aragon's favorites like "Paso de Encarnacion", standards like "Asi son Bonco" to the new "Que camello que salchica" and the great "Guacharumba"."
"It arises out of traditional Cuban danzon and mixes in elements from a variety of other musics ranging from jazz to rumba. After the revolution, the band which always had been committed to social justice stayed on, touring the world on behalf of the communist government."
"La Charanga Eterna is a celebration of undoubtedly the best (and most influential) charanga band in the world, Orquesta Aragon! Over the years Aragon has remained true to the spirit of its founder, who's wish was to put a band together that would be a musical family motivated by a love for music over money and fame."

Special Guest Margareth Menezes, on Passe em Casa, has a lovely habit of singing with her arms outstretched. Watch Arnaldo Atunes playfully mock her singing style with his arms outstretched."
"New, fresh brazilian music, highly melodic, easy, mature, memorable songs."
"His voice, several octaves below most people's, sounds very cool and unique."
"Heard this last summer in Europe- had to buy it immediately."
"This CD is so refreashing I only wish they would have recorded more."
"Tribalistas by three great musicians: Marisa Monte, Arnaldo Antunes y Carlinhos Brown is a rare and unique album."
"This is Brazilian music at its best!"

"What a crazy fun mix."
"The male and female singers have wonderful voices."

"Along with "And Winter came...", I purchased two other holiday music CD's - those of Sarah Brightman ("A Winter Symphony") and Loreena McKennitt ("A midwinter's night dream"), and I must say Enya's is my favorite one. "And Winter came..." introduces this musical experience with a piece without lyrics, just tranquil "white" music. Songs that I find outstanding are the self-created "White is in the winter night", an up-tempo song that simply invites singing along its tune."
"Cd sounds incredible!"
"All Enya albums are great."
"Gorgeous seasonal sounds."
"Great CD."

"I was very captivated by his guitar sound so I took a chance on this collection of Uwaifo's 70s material. There is that high-life guitar sound, combined with some funky and even slightly psychedelic guitar stylings too."
"These are great, groovy, classic recordings of electrified Nigerian guitar pop from the early 1970s."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Great collection of songs!"
"The album highlights many of the wide range of local South African sounds."
"My exposure to South African music is limited (think Ladysmith Black Mambazo, or Paul Simon) and so are my qualifications to review it."
"The compilation features mostly Zulu and Shangaan artists with heavy-beat and lively tracks like "Ngimbonile Ubaba" and "Nayintombi Ibaleka"."
"An essential addition to any South African music collection, featuring a wide range of primarily Zulu and Shangaan artists."
"i was very disappointed with this cd, maybe it's my own fault, but i thought i was gonna get some african singing I wanted to hear african vocal groups like ladysmith black or whatever that group is.. i wasted my damn money...and im higly upset."

"Tommy Emanuel is quite simply the best acoustic guitarist on the planet."
"Having been a fan of acoustic and fingerstyle guitar for all my life, I'm ashamed to say that although I had heard of him and heard impressive cuts from him, I had never obtained a complete recording by Tommy Emmanuel until recently."
"He is one of the greatest living guitarist around."
"Got this for a friend and he was over joyed with it."
"A very tiny flaw (in my opinion, of course) is that the live performance mix makes it difficult to hear all the nuances of Tommy's playing. He freshens some of his favorites, adding a new perspective on his Beatles Medley, and building up to Mombasa with an inspired percussion solo."
"Many live recordings fall short of getting the feel, the timing, the quality.....this one is different in that regard. I am blown away at the speed of his rhythm playing on Tall Fiddler, it's super human, beyond what all these metal shredders could even come close to."
"I saw some of this Center Stage performance on PBS, so I bought the CD."

"My x stole this from me so I had to buy another cd, I really really liked this music."
"It is not especially original, but if you are nostalgic for an 80s arena rock style then this very well may be worth the cost of admission for you. But as much as I am one of those people who gets nostalgic I wanted to give an objective score that takes into account the fact that, true, the music here is not particularly unique or stand out as different, and the lyrics are quite frankly very trashy. If you want a throwback to, and improvement on the arena style rock, and if the "dumbed down" frat house lyrics don't bother you this album is worth another look, even if you don't like Nickelback's other albums."
"Very enjoyable sound."
"AH BEST SURPRISE EVER!"
"Quick ship."
