It's not that surprising that Rent, a successful musical with a strong youth following, would have transferred from the New York stage to film. What is remarkable is that the material has aged very well and that most of the original cast have made the trip to the silver screen. This is no small feat since nearly ten years have elapsed since the show's Off-Broadway debut and the film's release. When it opened in 1996, Jonathan Larson's rock musical based on neobohemian life in the gritty East Village felt a bit hackneyed at times; now, Rent feels more like a Broadway fantasy about life on the edge, and that new element actually works in the show's favor. The two cast additions--Rosario Dawson (replacing Daphne Rubin-Vega as Mimi) and Tracie Thomas (replacing Fredi Walker as Joanne)--act well and with emotion, but aren't quite powerful enough. They are eclipsed by vets such as Anthony Rapp, Idina Menzel, Wilson Jermaine Heredia, and Taye Diggs, who of course had the chance to perfect their roles on stage and can also be heard on the original cast recording. It's a pleasure to hear these stalwarts New York performers strut their stuff again. This soundtrack will please the show's fans, and probably attract new ones. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Album Description

One of the longest-running shows (since 1996) in the history of Broadway, and one of its most beloved, RENT was the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and four Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Based on Puccini's classic opera "La Boheme," Jonathan Larson's revolutionary rock opera tells the story of a group of bohemians struggling for success and acceptance while enduring the obstacles of poverty, illness and the AIDS epidemic in New York's gritty East Village. Now the powerful musical marks its 10th year on stage by coming to the big screen, accompanied by RENT The Motion Picture Soundtrack, produced by Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Goo Goo Dolls, Alanis Morissette).

You can practically feel the scenes come to life through the sound track! Its that good. Any true rent head worth a salt to his or her name would have this in their collection. It is too good to pass up!

5 out of 5 stars Love this Musical!!.......2007-06-20

I absolutely loved this in the movie form and would love to see the live show. But since that will be a while in coming; getting the soundtrack is the next best thing. These people can SING! This way I can hear the songs anywhere at anytime; not just watching the movie.

5 out of 5 stars great soundtrack.......2007-04-26

I have own this soundtrack pretty much since it came out...

I have never been that big on musicals, but when the movie first came out my friend dragged me to the movies with him to see the movie, and right away I fell in love with it...and for the next week I had the songs stuck in my head, they just wouldn't go away...they haunted me in my sleep, but in a good way...I fall in love with all the music, so i had to get this soundtrack so I would be able to listen to these wonderful songs all the time, especially till the movie came out onto dvd, which i also own and love to death. The songs are so addictive...I am actually listening to the soundtrack as I'm writing this review, I can't pick out one song that is my favorite, I love all of them. If i had to choice "Will I" or "Without You". "Will I" is such a touching song on its own, but when its patterned with the movie it hit me hard, great song, it brings tears to my eyes when i listen it. And the same goes with "Without You" its just a very touching song and it connects with my life. Overall one of the best soundtracks I have ever heard.

5 out of 5 stars First Time a Film has been as Good as the Original Musical.......2007-02-23

I will keep this short, because " M J Heilbron Jr. 'Dr. Mo' " said it perfectly.

I have never seen a movie that has been able to capture everything a musical did.

The actors were perfectly selected for the cast. The voices amazing and the acting flawless. Who knew Taye Diggs could act and sing.

Buy this CD. You will love it every bit as much as you loved the original Broadway CD... if not more.

5 out of 5 stars The music will captivate you.......2007-02-21

Even though I have the CD, whenever I'm flipping channels and I come across the movie "Rent", no matter how many times I've seen it and regardless of what point the movie is at, it is like I am mesmerized, and I know from experience that I am going nowhere until the movie is over. My husband feels the same way and we've both discussed why this is. The answer is the music. It actually pulls us both along through the movie. Just as one great song ends, another begins, and we can't pull ourselves away until the movie - and thus the music - ends. There actually isn't a tedious, boring, or even mediocre piece in the whole musical. Every song has a style different from all of the others and each is quite powerful. The music is not the meat on the bones in this movie version of the Broadway musical, it is actually the very bones under the meat. My favorite is "I'll Cover You". Remarkably, this song works both as an upbeat love song for Angel and Collins and also as a funeral dirge. It is very amazing that Jonathan Larson, on his first outing, could come up with even one of these amazing songs, much less all of them. It makes me sad not only for the loss of Jonathan Larson the human being, but the loss of such an amazing artist. I highly recommend this CD. I think you'll find yourself hooked on these unique and powerful tunes.

It's no mean feat being the world's foremost crossover artist--a task that risks alienating two disparate audiences and everyone in between--but somebody had to do it, and Andrea Bocelli again walks that artistic tightrope with impressive deftness. The title may imply a casual intimacy (indeed, the singer admits to taking a more "hands-on" approach to the album's conception and production), but it's a collection that nonetheless continues to expand on the Italian tenor's ambitious internationalism. His collaboration "Sin Tu Amor" immerses his voice in the Gipsy Kings' own rich Iberian folk-pop fusion with compelling results, while "Where Love Goes" (a musical focal point of the film Lazarus Child), his English language duet with 11-year-old prodigy Holly Stell, achieves an almost liturgical grace. "Tu Ci Sei" (You Are There) continues in the romantic vein of his familiar theme "Con Te Partiro" (Time to Say Goodbye), while the single "Dell' Amore Non Si Sa" (With Love You Never Know) features Bocelli in a signature dramatic tour de force collaboration with arranger Mauro Malavasi, the accomplished producer of the singer's Romanza and Sogno albums. Bocelli's shrewd taste and vocal prowess here not only again redeem an oft-maligned genre, but elevate it considerably in the bargain. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars HOW DO YOU SAY,"WOW," IN ITALIAN?.......2007-06-22

BEFORE I START, LET ME SAY, THAT I AM A DANCE CLUB GUY AND THAT, ORDINARILY, THIS IS NOT MY KIND OF MUSIC. OF COURSE, I LAUGH AS I SAY THAT, AS, APPARENTLY, A NEW DOOR HAS OPENED IN MY LIFE, THANKS TO THIS MAN.
A FEW YEARS AGO I HAD HEARD ANDREA DO, "CON TE PARTIRO," ON A PBS SPECIAL AND MY EYES FILLED WITH TEARS THAT ANY HUMAN COULD MAKE SUCH SOUNDS. I WAS ASTOUNDED; MORE ASTOUNDING, STILL, WAS TO HEAR THIS ALBUM AND FIND THAT HIS VOICE HAD ACTUALLY VASTLY IMPOVED OVER TIME. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? " CON TE..," PALES IN COMPARISON TO THE QUALITY OF THIS WORK; THE TRACKS ON THIS CD ARE PERFECT, FULL, RICH, AND MORE MOVING THAN ANYTHING I HAVE EVER HEARD. I HAVE HAD IT A WEEK, NOW, AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO LISTEN TO ANYTHING ELSE FOR VERY LONG, AND I PLAY IT OVER AND OVER. IT HAS BEEN MANY YEARS SINCE I HAVE BEEN AFFECTED LIKE THIS BY ANY VOCAL CD. IF HE NEVER RECORDED AGAIN HE WOULD HAVE MADE A MARK ON THE WORLD OF AUDIO NEVER TO BE ERASED OR FORGOTTEN. WHAT A VOICE! WHAT SONGS! THE CUT, "LIBERTA," ABSOLUTELY KILLS ME WITH FEELINGS OF JOY AND MARVEL. I HAVE EVEN TAKEN UP STUDYING ITALIAN BECAUSE OF IT.
TREAT YOURSELF, AND A GOOD FRIEND, TO THE SOUNDS ON THIS CD. SIT AND WATCH A SUNSET WITH IT ON... I MEAN NOW!

5 out of 5 stars Just buy it........2007-05-30

If you like soft music that make's you feel up beat, just order a Andrea Bocelli CD. Listening to his CD's after being at work all day, is like having an option in life to hear and be somewhere else.

5 out of 5 stars Teamo, Andrea Bocelli .......2007-03-08

One of his best. Need the lyrics translated from the Italian to the English inside the casing next time. Nonetheless, Mr. Bocelli has a beautiful voice. It made my wife and all my female co-workers swoon when they listened to it.

4 out of 5 stars A new style from Andrea........2007-02-24

There were some ugly songs in here.(I absolutely hate to say that about anything Andrea.)But the good far outshone the bad.
Un Nouvo Giorno stunned me the first time I heard it.It was so unlike anything I had heard from Andrea- very pop.But it soon grew on me.
Liberta is amazing.Very catchy and upbeat.
Sempre O Mai is my favorite.It keeps its tempo up and has the best of Andrea and pop.Great song.

So this album was really a double album with pop and classical songs interspersed.A good mix from the master.

1 out of 5 stars Not happy with delivery (or non delivery) of this item.......2007-01-16

When I ordered this on 12/04/2006 they said I would have it before Christmas. Then right before Christmas the delivery date was changed to mid-January. So I had to cancel my order and go, at the last minute, buy it at a store because it was a Christmas present. I wasn't happy about it and won't be buying from amazon for the holidays any longer.

Cecilia Bartoli's new CD features a collection of music that could not be heard in her native Rome at the start of the 18th century due to Papal censorship. Theaters, the Church felt, were places of evil and corruption and operas led people to immorality. But some music-loving senior members of the priesthood asked composers to write oratorios and cantatas--indeed, operas without staging, essentially--for their own private entertainment. Call it what you will, the music is sensational--by turns virtuosic, gentle, and playful--and always expressive: just right, it seems, for Cecilia Bartoli's temperament. The opening aria on the CD, a call for peace in the name of Jesus, is, in fact, a dazzling martial air with trumpets blaring and the voice going through an amazing array of coloratura fireworks. It shows Bartoli at her most aggressive. The listener is practically hurled back from the speakers when she begins, with rapid-fire runs and trills and cascades of notes, all perfectly in place. Showy arias are offset by several tender ones ("Lascia la spina" from Handel's Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno returns in the composer's Rinaldo, four years later, as the now-famous "Lascia ch'io pianga"), and Bartoli exhibits again, her many, many levels of pianissimo and sensitive phrasing. Marc Minkowski and his Musiciens are just right for this repertoire and back Bartoli up superbly. This is a fascinating project, rivetingly performed and presented. --Robert Levine

Album Description

Limited Australian pressing. An extraordinary album of dramatic arias written in Rome at a time when opera performance was forbidden by the Church, and female singers were forbidden from singing in public. Decca. 2005.

4 out of 5 stars Only one diva, only Bartoli........2007-06-19

Just like Farinelli was the opera phenomenon of his time, fast-forward to the 21st century, Bartoli gives once again this music of the Italian settecento a breath of new life in all its splendor and glory.

In Opera Proibita, Bartoli's repertoire not only reflects on her as a consummate vocal artist but also as the ultimate scholar. Rarely an opera singer would dig this dip and go that far to unearth great scores from total obscurity. Even more uncommonly a singer would take the challenge of singing these arias without the risk of ridiculing herself, but to the contrary establishing a new record and precedent.

Her execution of the Handel arias is truly astonishing in coloratura and melismas probably not heard for three hundred years when only the best castrati commanded the virtuosity to tackle these arias. Also surprising and refreshing was to hear works by Handel that show his wild side.

Bartoli brings this album to a high climax with the arias from Il Trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno. This is really her realm and true medium. Her vocal runs in "Un pensiero nemico di face" sound like a first violin, and as if this was not difficult enough she ornaments the da capo melismas in tempo from allegro to presto molto vivace, and transitions into a note crescendo with great ease and certainty. Wonderful!

5 out of 5 stars Amazing disc.......2007-03-03

This disc has all the elements needed for an amazing disc. The conductor, orchestra, and music are all top notch. Bartoli's singing is amazing. I find this album energizing and a testament to how exciting baroque music can be. However, if you don't like Bartoli's voice in previous recordings, you probably won't change your opinion because of this disc.

3 out of 5 stars Beautiful Music, but vocally unmusical........2007-02-09

I owned over a dozen of Bartoli solo albums, plus other operatic albums of hers. From the early days of 'Arias Antique' I got impressed by her beautiful singing and her outstanding technique.
Alas, starting from her Vivaldi Album, I do not find her singing that beautiful any more. True, the songs picked there are technically very challenging, used to be sung by male castrato singers. The songs picked here are even more difficult.
BUT - is singing just about technique?
There are some songs in the Vivaldi Album that have the vocal musical lines broken in places. Here in Opera Proibita, almost every song has this problem, even the slow ones of Caldara. Compare her singing in the earlier part of her career, her early Mozart operas, I could not help but wonder if Ms. Bartoli has taken the correct turn in her career: her forced high notes, though squarely hit, do not sound at all pleasing; her runs and trills, though taken accurately at great tempi, is no longer truly musical. Compare her singing with the other two great baroque mezzo-sopranos Bernarda Fink and the tragically short-lived late Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, you would understand what I mean.

With the latest turn in Ms. Bartoli's singing, I am being forced to admit that this is a singer of great technical brilliance and enormous fame, but not at all pleasing to the ear.

1 out of 5 stars Not to my taste.......2006-11-05

Cecilia Bartoli has her fans, no doubt, as the other reviews on this site demonstrate, people who love her warmth of tone and her impassioned interpretations. These vocal qualities may suit the performance conventions of the nineteenth-century repertoire; however in this anthology of eighteenth century sacred arias the result is an unhappy imbalance. The problem is, in my opinion, one of clashing calls for attention, whose affect is to distract the listener from attention to the music itself. True, the god of the counter-reformation was to be worshipped ecstatically. And true, also, that I am an anti-romantic listener, who grew up with those early music performances which valued detached purity of tone. This was vaunted as the ideal means of interpretation of the rediscovered seventeenth and eighteenth-century repertoire (it protested too much its rightness, and alienated people- but I like it). However to return to the subject at hand- I find Bartoli's readings of these crypto-erotic arias overblown and self-indulgent. I guess that this sort of coloratura always offered a chance for a bit of ego to be let loose, even in church- however when the performance goes so far as to insist on attention to itself rather than deflecting attention to the music, I stop enjoying the music. This recording does not find the balance between the big romantic personality and eighteenth-century performance conventions, which, after 30 or 40 years of self-critique, have some authority. I disliked it very much. I am a great admirer of Mark Minkowski's opera interpretations, which I think find a perfect balance between these opposing impulses of warm and cool- a binary we can trace throughout aesthetics and through the ages. Here there's an overbalance in favour of warm (hot, in fact), which the performers might argue is just the sort of vivification that Baroque performance needs. Not for me. I gave it to a friend (she's still a friend).

5 out of 5 stars Exciting, moving, beautiful, energetic, heart-felt, fantastic..........2006-09-02

What more can I add?

Cecilia Bartoli just "does it" for me almost every time. She is just fantastic in my books. I love her dearly. She can give one an adrenalin rush with her bravura singing and then break one's heart with her pathos.

This is a superb collection of Baroque arias from "almost" operas! ;-))
I also liked the cheeky and none-too-subtle references to La Dolce Vita on
cover and the images inside the disc. Nice to see an opera singer with a playful sense of humour!

I am listening to this disc as I write this review and all I can say is that I love this disc and it is clearly one of the best Signorina Bartoli has released, although I like all of her recordings. Listen to track 12 and you will buy this disc.

More, please!

PS: How about DECCA getting Cecilia Bartoli and Andreas Scholl together for a musical project? I'd love to see two of my favourite singers together on the one disc.
PSPS: If you like Opera Proibita, buy Andreas Scholl's Arcadia and Arias for Senesino, too!

5 out of 5 stars beautiful beautiful.......2007-06-27

This CD was a gift for someone who loves the classic Ave Maria, and it delivers an assortment of the most beautiful recordings of the hymn ever made. Just lovely!

3 out of 5 stars Ave Maria.......2007-05-30

Some very good renditions of various versions, but some were rerecordings and not remastered, so were grainy and sounded like old 33.3 RPM recordings. I was disapppointed in those, but most were excellent for my purpose in becoming familiar with the music.

5 out of 5 stars Ave Maria - penetrating hymns.......2006-01-26

Other CD's have various versions of Ave Maria, as does this one. What distinguishes this CD is the quality of the recordings, the reverent tone of the vocalists, and the impressive blending of the singers and orchestras. Some versions inpsire an awesome silence, attracting our focus on these hymns and their solemnity. Ave Maria continually provides a respite from the world--it is so intense. These Ave Maria hymns are captivating enough by their music alone. The meaning adds the intended spiritual dimension. This album comes highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars the Ave Maria Album.......2005-10-03

My husband and I listen to this all the time .. whatever
version is your preference, you can probably find it on this
album. Excellent.

5 out of 5 stars My Dad used to sing this while shaving.......2005-06-11

This beautiful aria is interpreted 16 ways by several renown singers and composers, so I'm sure you'll find your own personal favorites among the different versions. Each rendition has its own descriptor, and I found myself thinking "riveting", "exhilerating", "captivating", "evocative", "inspiring", or even "heartbreaking" for the same compelling music. To me, even the old fashioned, ragged recordings herein had a certain charm, and I don't mind the 'scratchiness' at all. I believe my Dad would sing Franz Schubert's 'Ave Maria' as interpreted by tenor Jerry Hadley -- I swear it literally brought tears to my eyes when I first heard it. As a child, I remember the delight I took in hearing my Dad sing with all the passion and drama of an artiste -- and you know, for a man who didn't even know all the lyrics, he sounded pretty darn good in our old bathroom! Seriously, this is a wonderful collection, even without the reminiscent sentimentality. I highly recommend it.

Este es un disco diferente, con el toque de la musica de España, pero fresco, romantico, alegre y sensual. Indudablemente la mejor produccion de Rosario, voz de mujer intensa y tierna a la vez.
This it is a different disc, with the touch of the Spanish Music, but fresh, romantic, happy and sensual. Doubtlessly the best Rosario's production, voice of intense and tender woman simultaneously.
Dont miss it!!!

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding!!!.......2006-05-20

I was in Spain a few years ago and I caught Rosario on the radio while driving between Barcelona and Cadaques. I immediately became addicted and bought this CD. Her music is so full of energy! It seems that I always have her music on my player--and without fail--someone always asks "This is great! Who is that?" As always, they are on Amazon the next day to order the CD.

You don't have to understand Spanish to appreciate Rosario. Here music is pure life and energy. Buy this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Just excellent!.......2005-10-13

This CD is wonderful, every song is full of happiness and spanish taste. Rosario shares her best expression through all the songs.

5 out of 5 stars Poetic Music.......2005-07-07

I spend three months looking for this CD and couldn't find it anywhere. I heard one of the songs "Agual y Sal" or Salt and water as it would be called in english in one of the spanish soap-operas I used to see. I absolutely love this song but once I heard the samples of all the other tracks I fell in love with many of them...such as: Rosa y Miel, Al Son del Tambor, Tuyo Siempre, muchas flores, and lets not forget La Casa en el Aire. I'd never heard of Rosario Flores in my life...until then! So, like I was saying...the song of "Agua y Sal" is so special to me. I relate to it completely, and more than poetic is my life right there and then. I recomended this CD to anyone that's a hopeless romantic!

Yes, it's true that 90% of the time Broadway fans will want the original Broadway cast recording over any other version, and 95% of the time the full recording will beat any set of "highlights." But this collection of songs from the Rent movie may defy both trends. Rentheads surely have the two-disc Broadway version already, and this well-selected 65 minutes may satisfy their desire to have performances from the movie as well (and the movie has less music than the show anyway). On the other end of the spectrum, people who enjoyed the movie but don't feel the compulsion to own every note of what they heard might well be pleased with a single disc of highlights. Pick it up and live La Vie Boheme all over again. --David Horiuchi

Album Description

One of the longest-running shows in the history of Broadway, and one of its most beloved, Rent was the winner of the Pulizer Price for Drama and four Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Based on Puccini's classic opera "La Boheme," Jonathan Larson's revolutionary rock opera tells the story of a group of bohemians struggling for success and acceptance while enduring the obstacles of poverty, illness and the AIDS epidemic in New York's gritty East Village. Now the powerful musical marks its tenth year on stage by coming to the big screen, acompanied by RENT Highlights From the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing CD.......2007-02-17

This is the perfect CD for those who love the music from the film, or even the Broadway show. I just bought this CD because I am new to "RENT". I first saw the movie 2 weeks ago and I am completely hooked!! I am also addicted to this CD, I listen to it atleast once a day (if not more)!! This is perfect for any "RENT" fans out there!!

~*LaUrA*~

5 out of 5 stars We're Not Gonna Pay Rent!.......2006-06-11

I loved Rent, but I just couldn't bring myself to spend the money for the full version of the soundtrack. Highlights from Rent was PERFECT! It has all the main songs from the movie I was looking for, and that was important to me. I play this soundtrack constantly, from beginning to end, singing along the whole way. Every song on her deserves to be on here - it's amazing.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing CD!.......2006-04-19

I got Rent the CD for my birthday, and I looked and I thought it did not have my favorite song on there:No Day But Today well I was exploring the Rent website, and I found out that it was NOT called No Day But Today, it was called Finale B I was so happy and I listen to it over and over and over and over again without me getting sick of it! Great CD totally recommended ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*********Finale B*************(The Best)
Seasons Of Love
Light My Candle
Tango:Maureen

La Vie Boheme

4 out of 5 stars Good Compialition.......2006-03-29

This is truly a highlights cd, with the only dissapointment, to me, being that the song "Another Day," is not included. But the rest of my favorites Without You, Rent, Tango Maureen, and, of course, La Vie Boheme, make this a great cd for any Broadway lover.

5 out of 5 stars Was very very impressed with special features.......2006-03-24

An original "Rent Head", I saw this movie at the cinemas and was less than impressed with the finished product. I found that on watching the DVD I have since completely changed my opinion. The CD is fantabubulous - I love IT!. It is all the wonderful music from the movie and if I gush anymore it will come across as very very ridiculous! Just buy it - its great!

It is an absolute must for anybody who fell in love with the musical!

5 out of 5 stars Welcome into this place - The lighter side of Gospel.......2007-01-06

I am always looking for a good gospel album to keep my mind on the Lord. after purchasing the WOW 2004 CDs, I heard "When I enter your rest" by JoAnn Rosario, I knew I had to get her album.

This album is superb. Because many of the songs are so light and have an 'easy-listening' feel; it really lulls your soul into rest...both spiritually and physically songs like:
10/10 - The Introduction "Welcome into this place"
10/10 - "Sing of your goodness"
10/10 - "My Desire";
12/10 - "With all my heart" - can you tell this is my favorite!
10/10 -"God"

And then; there are mildly upbeat songs that helps to put a pep in your step songs like:
10/10 - "Life so wonderful"
12/10 - "Oh Lord Your Love" - this is my fav. upbeat song!!
9/10 - "Never the same";
8/10 - "Thanks be unto God",
9/10 - "Open My eyes"- 9/10

4 out of 5 stars Absolutely Anointed.......2006-06-23

For me, the true measure of an album's greatness is how it sounds after it reaches the midway song. After this point, the songs usually sound thrown in, flung together and lacking in quality. I had never listened to this lady before and I am very picky about my music (everthing has to measure to Richard Smallwood). However, this is one of the most beautiful albums that I have ever listened to. FROM BEGINNING TO END - and I emphasise THE END. Interestingly enough, I believe that her most powerful song is the second last song on the album simply entitled "God". The music is beautiful, her voice is outstanding and the anointing on this song pulls you into the very throne room of God. "Never be the same", "Thanks be Unto God", "Sing of your Goodness" and "Psalm 27" are absolutely phenomenal. She doesn't do alot of theatrics with her voice as many artists do which sometimes, instead of seasoning the song, actually overpowers the message. She knows just when to release the powerhouse and when to pull back. The TRUE meaure of an artiste.Take it from the pickiest person this side of Planet Earth. This is a "must have" to any TRUE Christian and TRUE gospel music collector.

4 out of 5 stars Absolutely Beautiful!.......2006-05-09

If you long to be in God's presence and need something to set the tone for your day - THIS IS IT! Lyrics are what really make me love a song and these lyrics are TRULY about WORSHIP! I actually found a way to translate the Spanish lyrics to English-Cuando Reposo En Ti is sensational! It is so powerful in Spanish that it makes me want to learn the language so I can sing the ad-lib too! My absolute favorites are I Hear You Say, God and Open My Eyes. I find myself singing When I Pray and My Desire in my head throughout the day because those words are what I'm feeling. I thank God for Joann's ministry and how its touched my life. I pray God continues to bless her as she recovers. This CD is proof that the devil can't mess with God's ANOINTED!! OH by the way - Saciame Senor - one of the best songs ever!!!!!!!!! I can't wait for the next one!

5 out of 5 stars I LOVE THIS CD.......2006-03-08

OH MY GOODNESS...this is a fantastic CD. I love each and every single song. I totally felt God was surrounding me when I listened to the music. Joanne, YOU GO GIRL.

I bought this CD to enhance my learning of the Spanish language. Rosario has a great voice and this is by far the best CD of hers to date. Every song makes you want to run away to Spain or at least to dance the night away.

5 out of 5 stars Rosario - Contigo Me Voy.......2007-01-31

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful Music.......2007-01-11

I love Rosario. This is one of her best cd's. The lyrics were especially romantic.

5 out of 5 stars Does Not Disappoint.......2006-09-14

As a constant latin pop music afficionado, I discovered Rosario sometime in the mid nineties and I didn't think much of her until I heard her 2001 release MUCHAS FLORES, a precious jewel of flamenco/pop music if there was ever one. She's gotten into this consistent groove ever since with 2003's DE MIL COLORES, which was almost equally impressive and in a very similar vein. With this new release, she is definitely treading new waters. All the songs are really beautiful and very mature. It doesn't even deserve comparisons to her old work since here she's definitely working on another level here. There are less rumbas in favor to more introspective downtempo songs and some really beautiful guitar work that fuse pop, rock, flamenco, and bossa nova, genres that she has explored before. If you miss the classic sounding rumbas ala Muchas Flores, Los Tangos De Mi Abuela, and La Casa En El Aire, you will be delighted with track # 9, a festive explosion entitled La Rumba Del Bongo. My favorite is the precious bossa infused closer, Mi Amor Por Ti. Does not disappoint. I wish this was the kind of music that was dominating the U.S. Latin charts.

5 out of 5 stars Simply fantastic........2006-06-23

I like very much Rosario's music because even tought is very cheerful also has some good ballads and her voice is very mellow. Her style is a mix of pop, flamenco, rock and rumba.
Rosario is very talented and has many hits including "ESTOY AQUI", "QUE BONITO", "COMO QUIRES QUE TE QUIERA", "AGUANTA AHI" among others. Both of her latest cd's won a Latin Grammy Award and her live performances are simply flawless. This must come from her roots. Her mother was Lola Flores one of the biggest artists that Spain ever had.
On this production she cames with 11 songs that from my point of view the highlights are: on the rhythm ones are "EL BESO (CONTIGO ME VOY)", "MIENTRAS ME QUEDE CORAZON" and "CAYETANO" (which reminds me a bit to her song "LOS TANGOS DE MI ABUELA") and along the ballads are "MI AMOR POR TI", "EL NIÑO DE TUS OJOS" and "PARECE QUE FUE AYER".
When I bought this album I knew that I was going to like it but as usual when we buy a cd from a singer that we like, we don't like it very much until we get used to it, but on this case as soon as I played it for the first time I liked it.
You won't feel sorry with this one if you like Rosario and if you don't know much about her, listen the samples.
Finally I would also recommend her cd's "MUCHAS FLORES" (2001) and "DE MIL COLORES" (2003).

    Fans of Pedro Almodovar's exuberant filmmaking will recognize Rosario from her role in the director's Talk to Her. But in her native Spain, Rosario is better known for her massively popular pop records than for her acting chops. The follow-up to Muchas Flores--the singer's 2001 blockbuster--De Mil Colores underscores the most precious asset in Rosario's music: a deliciously raspy voice that seduces you instantly with its rambunctious personality. A versatile performer, Rosario tackles with equal command a sassy rock number ("Vueltas"), a hilarious flamenco fest ("Los Tangos de mi Abuela"), and a quintessentially Spanish reading of Arsenio Rodriguez's Cuban bolero "La Vida Es Un Sueno." Lovers of quality pop music will appreciate the tasty touches of acoustic guitar, the ever present handclapping, the restrained brass section. This is the kind of album that is mellow enough to serve as background music--yet packed with enough punch to make you sit up and pay attention to its most inspired passages. --Ernesto Lechner

    Album Details

    2003 Album from the Star of Almodovar's Hit Movie Hable Con Ella and Daughter of Lola Flores. The Spanish Singer also Participated in the Late Celia Cruz's Tribute Show.

    Rosario does it again, with this brand new CD called "De Mil Colores"...Not only can we enjoy her outstanding and beautiful voice, we can also listen to songs and rhythms which I predict are soon to become instant hits.

    Her talent and her devotion to her flamenco music is obvious, capturing the attention of anyone who listens to the record...You don't have to be Spanish and know how to dance flamenco, trust me: with this album you'll be on your feet before you know it, drawn by the wonderful tunes!

    This is by far, one of the greatest and most talented singers and performers to come out of Spain, if this is your first chance in listening to Rosario, I strongly suggest you buy this record, and get to know this terrific singer!

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent!!!.......2004-02-13

    I wholeheartedly concur with the previous review. Just what you would expect from Rosario. This CD is quite similar to "Muchas Flores", nevertheless just as brilliantly done. I can't stop playing it! You will not regret the purchase.

    5 out of 5 stars Olé, Olé!!!.......2004-02-11

    After her Multi-platinum, Grammy award winner album "Muchas flores". Rosario returns to the top with this very good album.
    "De mil colores" ("Of 1000 colors") follows the same direction of "Muchas flores" with her very known fusion of styles such as flamenco, pop and rock. The songs in this album are very good, the lyrics can be touchy, happy and even funny as track #10 "Los tangos de mi abuela" (My grandma's tangos), which is my favorite song here it has lots of energy that makes you feel like dancing and the lyrics...the lyrics are great with lines such as: "Mi abuelita tenia una olla, la metia debajo la cama y en la olla no se lo que hacia que la convertia en bola infernal" ("My grandmother had a pot, she use to put it under the bed and I don't know what she did with it that became like a ball of fire") this might sound stupid but when you hear the song, sounds very good.
    There are also love songs such as: "Viviras" ("You'll live"), "De mil colores" ("Of 1000 colors"), "Como tu" ("Like you"), "Atado a esa mujer" ("Tighted up to that woman") with Antonio Carmona (main singer of "Ketama"). The funky ones are: "Vueltas" ("Spins"), "En mi casa" ("At my place"), "Aguanta ahi" ("Hold it there") and "La vida es un sueño" ("Life's a dream").
    This album was released in november 2003 in Spain and became an instant hit, debuting at #1 and selling hundred thousands records on it's release week.
    I strongly recommend this album. You may also like very much her previous work "Muchas flores".
