5 out of 5 stars The best of latin music through Domingo's voice.......1999-08-10

This CD goes wherever I go, it is with no doubt, the queen of my collection. Medleys are wonderfully orchestrated and arranged and every song makes you travel anywhere between Mexico and Buenos Aires. Here, Domingo's voice is more like a musical instrument than anything else and each song you'll discover a new instrument. Honestly, I would personally award it six stars.

5 out of 5 stars Classic Latin American tunes beautifully sung and produced,.......1998-12-11

Domingo's love for traditional Latin American music shines throughout this CD. A selection of great "standards", beautifully arranged and recorded by one of the world's great voices. "De Mexico a Buenos Aires," written by Domingo's son is the one original song on the recording and is one of many highlights here. I have listenned to this CD countless times over the past two years and it remains a delight.

The tragic events of 9/11 produced their share of unexpected heroes, few more unlikely than Daniel Rodriguez, the NYPD's "singing cop." The Puerto Rican-American tenor's by now familiar rendition of "God Bless America" won over the hearts of his city, then nation--but took shots from a few cynical critics, too. Rodriguez emerged from the experience with career mentoring from no less than Placido Domingo, and this sophomore release gratifyingly proves that Rodriguez was no marketing fluke. Tellingly, the musician bookends this collection with personal tributes to the singer he obviously hopes to pattern his career after, Mario Lanza, including the unabashed romantic bluster of "Be My Love," the song Rodriguez proposed to his wife with. The singer and producer Tom Scott chart a course through a slate of familiar modern ballads and Broadway standards both old (Carousel's "If I Loved You") and new ("Only Love" and "She Was There" from The Scarlet Pimpernel). But the album's most intriguing selections are a pair of Spanish language love songs ("Jurame," "Solamente Una Vez"), recordings whose warm, sumptuous flavor seems to hint at even brighter horizons for the sturdy tenor and improbable modern American hero. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars Rodriguez, the Best !.......2006-11-11

Daniel Rodriguez is one of my favorite vocalists. This CD has a mixture of songs, including very beautiful duets. It is good listening for home and driving. Exceptional, as are his other works.

2 out of 5 stars Fine voice, but everything else needs improvement.......2006-05-02

I'll admit, I bought this CD because Kristin Chenowth appears on it (she sounds fabulous, by the way!). Turns out Daniel Rodriguez is a decent singer.

However, one listen to this CD is probably all it will ever get from me. For starters, the choice of songs is horrendous. It was as if a bunch of people got together and voted on the sappiest, most overblown, most tired songs ever written, and these were the top choices.

On top of that, the arrangements are completely unimaginative. Several of these songs could have been saved by interesting arrangements, but apparently "boring" was the theme the arranger was seeking.

My biggest complaint, however, is about the production. So much reverb has been added to Daniel's vocal as to almost obscure it. Usually reverb like that is only used to cover up serious flaws in the performance, which doesn't seem to be the case here -- the vocals themselves seem fine. That would indicate to me that it was justa a terrible choice made by the producer. Adding to the production problems is the poor use of the stereo sound field in regard to the orchestra: a full orchestra can be used to create a rich and wide sound field quite easily, but the producer has chosen to mix most of the orchestra toward the center of the sound field, both burying it beneath the vocals and leaving the overall recording sounding like something more appropriate for AM radio than for the high-fidelity sound systems that have been in existence for, oh, the past 50 years.

I'm sure there is an audience for this sort of thing, but the flaws in the production and material make it something I cannot recommend. Mr. Rodriguez would be well advised to bring on a new production team for future projects, because I think he really does have the talent to make a career out of his singing.

5 out of 5 stars From My Heart.......2005-07-28

Very talented tenor...had the pleasure of seeing him in person twice...will buy all his cd's..

5 out of 5 stars Love, Love, Love It!.......2005-06-12

I can't remember when I last bought a CD I've enjoyed as much. Received it yesterday, started playing it this morning and just keep listening to it. His voice gives me chills, the song selections are wonderful, I especially like "Completely" which I had never heard before, great lyrics, perfect rendition. Just came back to Amazon to order his "Spirit of America", know his voice singing these songs will probably bring me to tears, but that's OK! Buy it, you won't regret it!

5 out of 5 stars This CD is Beautiful.......2004-03-10

Daniel's singing is wonderful on this CD. I gave everyone I know copies. His incredible looks and his voice are magnificently nostalgic and yet he brings a freshness to opera. He has this Caruso like charm and his voice comes so close to Caruso's yet, Daniel sounds like Daniel. I think this man can play Caruso if given half a chance. Everything about Daniel is classic. I've seen him perform live and his voice and presentation are great. We saw him sing on Valentine's Day this year and he brought down the house that night. I cannot wait to hear his next release!

Amazon.com

If you think you've heard it all, you're wrong. The three big guys are indeed back, in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, with a rabidly enthusiastic crowd to welcome them. They sing many favorites-- "Granada," "Because," "Nessun dorma"--and there are a pair of medleys: one devoted to love songs, and one called "Medley of the World," which ends with a rendition of "You'll Never Walk Alone" that might just bring tears to your eyes. If the truth be known, the three tenors have put on 8 years since we first heard them together, and a fair amount of bloom is off their rose-like voices--with Domingo's ardency sounding a bit hard-edged, Carreras's tone even more spread than before, and some of Pavarotti's gold tarnished and his breath shorter. Suffice it to say that older CDs by these three formerly-really-great tenors are worth their weight in gold, compared to the bronze you'll find here. But the classy James Levine at the helm keeps the "event" going with passion, and it's hard not to get caught up in the excitement. --Robert Levine

5 out of 5 stars For the last time!.......2006-12-23

The last of the great tenor concerts that is worth watching!

5 out of 5 stars Standing Ovation !!!.......2001-09-24

Once again, the Tenors electrified the world. It was estimated that over 1.6 billion viewers saw this extraordinary display of musical genius.
The Pavarotti rendition of "Nessun Dorma" was breathtaking as he "hit" his famous high C with VINCERO!!!
With the exception of "Nessun Dorma & Caruso", I felt that it
was Domingo who carried the show. His voice style changes so dramatically to fit the mood and melody of each song.
Carreras, I felt, was lacking the "oomph" in his solos on this tour. However, no one can top Carreras when a line needs to be delivered that has "deep-gut" emotional feelings, almost mad sounding, i.e. the song "Because" -- listen when he sings "his love makes mangle of devile...", you'll understand what I mean.
Combine the Three together and you have pure brilliance. Listen to the song "You'll Never Walk Alone" is almost patriotic like.
"O' Sole Mio" and the show stopper "La Donna Mobile" left the people standing and cheering.
The Paris setting was spectacular. James Levine was his normal go lucky conductor self as he makes the viewing audience and the orchestra feel at ease with his upbeat facial expressions.
An awesome addition to your collection. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to see why the world has labled them "The Three Tenors." BRAVO

2 out of 5 stars A mistake that we need to remember.......2001-09-10

I was blessed to have a chance to be in Paris at that time, and really one of the reasons I went to the City of Romance was because I was so eager to go to the Three Tenors Concert. I managed to get a very good seat at the front in order to really experience and enjoy the concert that I had been dreaming to go all my life, because I am so madly in love with classical and opera music. Also I am a great fan for all of these three tenors, particularly Placido Domingo.

Having watched the Three Tenors Concert in Los Angeles, which was so great and inspiring, I was hoping this one can turn out to be greater and more successful. However it really failed my expectation and turned me into disappointment. Several mistakes were made which surely caused this concert to be a failure.

First, the choice of the conductor. James Levine was really the wrong choice for the position which is actually the heart of such an important event. His style of conduct and taste of music was proven unsuitable. It did not make you feel excited, but at sometimes made you feel uneasy and uncomfortable.

Second, something seemed to be limiting Domingo's ability and talent to be fully expressed. In fact he appeared to be much older and less energetic. The usual powerfulness and beauty of his voice really disappeared somewhere that can be hardly known.
As for Pavarotti we can only give him an average mark for his performance.

Third, lack of common sense. Even three years old child knows Granada has to be and is best to be sung by Domingo, just like Nessun Dorma has to be by Pavarotti, but I just can't understand why the organiser or the music directors did not realize this? Were they too commercially motivated or too careless???

Jose was the best and played an instrumental role to keep this concert going, my admiration towards him grow more after this event. Anyway huamns do make mitakes including the famous and popular ones. Although this concert was not their greatest my support for them will still remain.

5 out of 5 stars I Wish I Was There.......2000-12-11

I found this is one of my favorite of all "The Three Tenors" recordings. I would have loved to have been present one the night of this concert. I want to say all of the tenors do a superb job. I cannot understand why people put down Carreras because he proves here how much he appreciates his gift. Domingo is almost flawless. I have been a fan of Pavarotti since I 1980 (when I was just 12). Here is my personal favorite, Caruso.

2 out of 5 stars Not the best tenors album........2000-05-03

First of all, the change of the conductor. We were used to the thundering conducting of Mehta. Then, Pavarotti is not the same man that he was in '94 and in '90. His range fell a lot. Then, he dared to sing a song that is traditionally sang by Domingo (Granada) It lacks opera arias. Not a good purchase. Buy the first or the second albums.

I like Placido Domingo very much, and the songs of Agustin Lara sung by Mr. Domingo are great, as also the other songs by M. Teresa Lara, Jorge Casas and Julio Hernandez. I really like this album and have it in my car to listen to it over and over again while driving long distances. I think this was a good purchase and highly recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful and Expressive.......2007-02-17

Agustin Lara made bright and new, without overdone orchestration. Many songs are from the Suite Espanola, and all are beloved by lovers of the Lara bolero, an emotional journey not to be missed. A new sound for a few, that were known in Mexico as performed by Alejandro Algara, a less known lyric tenor. Very bright, and with less slips in the mix than the A. Lara, Suite Espanola CD by Mr. Domingo, titled Bajo El Cielo Espanol, also a great offering by this dramatic performer. This is really another Domingo that is needed by any fan...Singing his own love of Spanish songs in songs by one of the great historical song writers....A Winner, in my opinion!

5 out of 5 stars Great Listening Music.......2000-03-14

A wonderful CD, a hidden treasure, by an artist who has suffered for being born in the Age of Pavarotti. Nobody does this kind of music better than Domingo - you will be transported.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful.......1999-12-10

This is Placido Domingo at his best--singing love songs in his native language. Very romantic and beautiful songs.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful!!!!!!.......1999-10-07

Love the C.D. as every one with the greatest voice ever! Placido Domingo is magnificent! The songs are lovely and the recording is very good.

      If you're looking to play the devil, the lower male range gives you an advantage, at least according to stage convention. But when it comes to the art of romance--unless you happen to be a certain promiscuous Don--a thrilling tenor voice is worth its weight in gold. This Pure Tenors compilation showcases the gleaming brilliance of this voice type in its romantic guise. The tenor--so to speak--of the selections ranges from Broadway fare and favorites such as "Love Is a Many-Splendoured Thing" to the fervent intensity of Puccini's Turandot (in the pulse-elevating closing number). Predictably, today's great tenor trinity--voice of gold Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo (in some very frisky moods), and the passionate José Carreras--gets by far the most representation. But of the huge world of other tenors out there, Universal at least gives a hint, with a vintage selection from the legendary Giuseppe di Stefano--a golden voice from the past very worth your while to seek out if you haven't yet discovered it. And, of course, pointing to today's contenders for the throne, there's an aria from Andrea Bocelli's recent Verdi compilation. When you listen to these voices, with their different ways of shading and coloring a phrase, you'll realize no two tenors sound alike. --Sarah Chin

      4 out of 5 stars Pure Tenors.......2007-03-13

      What can I say, who doesn't love romance especially when sung in another romantic language??

      4 out of 5 stars Good mix.......2005-09-15

      Good choice of opera classic and popular songs. Always masterful voices of Carreras, Domingo and Pavarotti.
      Should buy for fans of these tenors.

      5 out of 5 stars A Great Cd.......2003-05-05

      This is an excellent run-down of all the tenors who's names you hear floating around right now. For a newcomer to opera or perhaps a possible convert from the insidious Pop-opera this will be great entertainment. All that is missing is Roberto Alagna to make this a full showing of the "stereotypical" tenors of our times.
      Carreras gets gyped a bit in this Cd. They only really allow him to sing from Broadway and west side story which is a shame. This is not where is vocal glory lies. Don't get me wrong he sounds great, but I want to hear E lucevan le stelle or one of the arias from Carmen he is so famous for. His Maria is the highlight if only to hear him sing a decent high-note after hearing so much of his diminished "three-tenors" cannon fodder.
      Anyone interested in him should buy "Carreras the Golden Years."
      Im glad Bocelli was included on this Cd to show how thin he sounds next to some of the big tenors of the generation. Ladies and Gentelemen Bocelli is not an opera singer. He has no training or stylistic integrity in the field. He is, however, a smashing pop artist and would encourage you to hear his "Sueno" for proof. La Donna E Mobile is one of his best aria's as he shows he has firm high notes but his voice is also noticably thinner than the rest.
      Domingo sounds awesome in this Cd. His voice is splendid in the Lanzaesque reperatoire which he sings here. Go out and buy his Dvd's and opera recordings. Check out "The greatest hits of Placido Domingo" His Core N'Grato rivals Carreras's 1978 recordin of the song. He is in absolutley electrifying form.
      Pav sounds okay. He is recorded here very late in his carrer. Nessun Dorma is fantastic even though his voice is not heavy enough fundamentally for the aria. His Mattinata is not that impressive. Don't get me wrong he is one of my favorite tenors, I just prefer him in the light italian opera repretoire. I would suggest The Pavarotti Gold Collection for further study on the big italian. His L'esir D'amore is as good as it gets.
      Russel Watson is a bit of a paradox. I heard him on this Cd and thought he was the real thing. He sounds like a great verismo tenor on this cd in one of my favorite ( though slightly modified) arias. I say he is a paradox because I just recently watched his concert "Now is the Hour" on Pbs and he doesnt sound like that at all. His passagio is spread and there are visible signs of strain as well as tecnical problems. Where is the Watson who sang this Amor ti Vieta? Who knows? I do know I almost vomited when he talked his way through O Sole Mio in his "Now Is the Hour" saying "are you ready" each time before the famous Da Capo; but that is neither here nor there.
      Di Stefano is also there as a welscome surprize. This is a tenor from the last generation of the likes of Corelli and Gedda. He is reasonably impressive singing Chitarra Romana considering the old-school recording tecniques.

      Overall this is a good run-down of the tenors out there on the Pop/ Opera world stage. Have fun with it!

      5 out of 5 stars Nice CD! Must have for Classic fan........2003-03-27

      Nice CD! Must have for Classic fan.

      3 out of 5 stars There are tenors,and then there are Italian tenors.......2001-05-30

      Every once in a while I do my best to appreciate tenors,et.al.I should accept the fact that I have a proclivity for Italian tenors and not try to change that fact.I have followed Maestro Pavarotti for 25 years and am always enthralled by the voice.Great cuts on this CD.Andrea Bocelli is a never ending amazement to me.In 1994 I saw/heard him on a PBS Pavarotti and Friends telecast and have followed his progress,which has been astounding to me.He has such a tone to his voice,it gets inside of me.It is so full of emotion.Dame Kiri deserves plaudits as well as the others on this CD.However,I would not have included Mr. Watson in this company.Power alone does not make a tenor.Perhaps 10 years from now,after study and dedication he will have that elusive quality which makes tenors truly great.I warned you,I am biased ,I love Italian tenors.Overall,this is an enjoyable CD,it gives an opportunity to hear various tenor voices and decide for yourself what qualities you prefer in the voice itself.If you are just getting to know the tenor voice you will be listening to some of the best.There are many more out there for you to investigate and enjoy.
