Olga Viva Viva Olga

Amazon.com
Merengue firebrand Olga Tañón delivers her best material in a red-hot setting at the House of Blues in Orlando, Florida. The Puerto Rican native spread her wings and dove into pop with her 1996 album Nuevos Senderos, and she still has that eagerness to mix it up. Among the choice cuts here are "Mi Eterno Amor Secreto," which mixes bluesy soul with romantic salsa, and "El Frio de Tu Adiós," for its melodic intensity and mature lyrics of accepting the end. Tañón shows off her versatility, swinging from the mid-tempo ballads "Presencié tu Amor," to the full-blown dance-pop workout of the bonus track "Viva la Música," which recalls the heavy percussion of Marc Anthony's "I Need to Know." --Ramiro Burr

A beautiful reading despite the casting of some light voices.......2007-01-20

To get the bad news over with quickly, the voices in Haitink's 1997 Don Carlo from London tend to be on the light side, and few of the performers are steeped in Italian style. The King Philip, Roberto Scandiuzzi, is Italian, but his voice sounds woolly and lacks authority. Elisabetta is the then-promising Russian soprano Galina Gorchakova. She has the vocal heft to sing any of Verdi's great dramatic soprano roles, but here she is a bit mature-sounding, and throaty in a Slavic way that takes some getting used to. She's at the opposite extreme from Mirella Freni, whose lyric soprano was clearly too light in Karajan's otherwise gripping set on EMI.

After that it's clear sailing. We get a fine orchestral reading from Haitink, more straightforward than either Karajan or Giulini but refined and beautifully balanced--only at times does the pacing feel too relaxed. It's certainly possible to play the score as a mroe haunted, doomed affair--the three leads, after all, are consumed by guilt almost from the beginning--but that's not Haitink's approach. Hvorostovsky gives one of his best performances on disc as Rodrigo, and the American tenor Richard Margison comes amazingly close to superstars like Domingo and Carreras as Don Carlo. The three bass roles of the Monk, Philip II, and the Grand Inquisitor are taken by very good singers, even if they don't erase memories of Boris Christoff or Nicolai Ghiaurov. Olga Broodina makes for a world-class Eboli, as one would expect. The orchestra and chorus of the Royal Opera Covent Garden sound just right in scale, not overblown like Karajan's Berlin Phil.

Editions have become complicated for this opera. Here we have the 1886 Modena version, an Italian translation in effect of the five-act French score premiered in Paris. I msut say I thoroughly enjoyed it. to the point that even Gorchakova's miscasting can't bring five stars down to four.

Unfortunately, the minority standpoint.......2005-10-04

Haitink's Don Carlo is very much like Giulini's, but better recorded, better conducted (!) and overall more accomplished as a concept.

His cast is very different. While not all ideally suited to their roles, they are sensitive to the drama and have something interesting to say - no weak link among them. The one standout is Hvorostovski as Posa, in what must be his best recorded performance. Also, I prefer Gorchakova and Scandiuzzi here to many others. Margison as Don Carlo is in good voice, but in terms of characterisation not a patch on Carreras, Domingo (live or for Abbado), or Alagna. Recommended!

Sing Along With Olga Live!.......2002-07-17

Olga Viva, Viva Olga is a very entertaining CD. It was recorded live at the House Of Blues in Orlando, FL. She won a Latin Grammy for this one. I like the smaller audience, and hearing them sing along with hits like "Basta Ya" makes you feel as if you're actually there at the concert.

The biggest number is "Tu Amor." It starts off with the techno-Flamenco sound it's originally done in, then the band cuts off; so they can sample Merengue, Bolero, Hip-hop and Salsa versions of the song. Eventually returning to the spicy Flamenco style.

The last track is a groovy Spanglish number. It's nothing special, but has a catchy beat, and gives hints at Olga's potential English crossover.

I just didn't like it........2001-09-06

I've been buying Latin music since about 1980. I'm from New Zealand so Latin music was very hard to come by but I imported heaps and have over 1000cds mostly Latin.
I've got everyone and I know what I like and what I don't.
I bought Olga - Te Acordaras De Mi and really liked it but I have a feeling that it didn't represent the true original Olga.
I bought this Live album, and thought it was ....well just not my cup of tea. I'm sure the true Olga fans love it but I just didn't like it.

OUTRAGEOUS...!!!!!!.......2001-05-23

I had the chance of seeing Olga in concert last month here in Venezuela.I discovered a truly enormous voice...very harmonic..she has total control of the stage and of course of the public.. Her music is great and this is a wonderful live recording of her greatest hits...with a very mature and amazing Olga..get this record..it will be one of your favorites and definitely is a must for Merengue lovers..!!!!

EXCELENTE CONCIERTO...OLGA VIVA, VIVA OLGA!.......2001-01-01

Como me hubiera gustado ir a este concierto! Por lo que se escucha en este disco el concierto fue excelente. Aqui podras encontrar grandes exitos de Olga Tañon como "Es Metiroso", "Tu Amor", "Presencie Tu Amor" y muchos mas. Lo unico que no me gusto de este CD es que el sonido esta muy bajo, pero sigue siendo un excelnte disco.

Tambien recomiendo el excelente CD de la merenguera Jessica Cristina titulado "Pasional" y el de Tonny Tun Tun titulado "Con La Musica Por Dentro".

Olga viva diva!.......2000-06-15

This Cd has a great collection of her hits. She sings just as well in the concert then in her recordings. She also sings in English in this album, very well. She talks a lot which makes it actually seem live like your there! This album is great!
