The level of performance for a community chorus is extraordinary, they are no less authentic than Ramirez own Argentine singers.

5 out of 5 stars Missa Criolla.......2004-12-21

I had the privilege of hearing the Coro Hispanico perform this in the Mission Dolores Basilica in 2000. It was sublime. This recording is an accurate representation of the power of this choiral group and is a must-have of very powerfully emotional music. The Coro Hispanico is a San Francisco treasure.

5 out of 5 stars This CD is a hidden treasure.......2001-12-23

This music is truly touching. Ariel Ramirez was brilliant in writing it, Juan Pedro Gaffney was inspired with his interpretation and direction of it and the Coro Hispano de San Francisco's singing is powerful and emotional. I don't normally listen to music of this genre, but this CD goes down as one of my all time favorites. It's beautiful from beginning to end, every track. Whatever kind of music you prefer, you owe yourself a listen to this CD.

5 out of 5 stars An Incredibly Moving Performance.......2001-10-06

I own a version of Misa Criolla by Ramirez with Carreras as the tenor. Although I like his rendition of Misa Criolla, the rest of the piece was not involving and I didn't care for the music. This performance completely blew me away. There is a level of involvement with the musicians that is absolutely wonderful. The recording is beautifully done with great intimacy and a marvelous ability to convey the emotion of the performance.
