Title: Nice Kiri, but NOT the best of Maori music
Product review: For those who love Kiri Te Kanawa's singing, this is a major change of pace. She goes back to her Maori heritage and sings along with loud musical accompanyment. At least for my ear it is loud music -- in my opinion Maori music should be without any accompanyment, or at a low level. The true Maori voices are such a joy when they are singing unaccompanied. This CD was accompanied by The Abbey Road Ensemble -- nice for rock musicians, but not what I am looking for.The song selection is fairly good, although I was disappointed that some of my favorate pieces were not provided -- but what can you do on a single disk.A real plus for this CD was the provision good booklet notes on the various compositions.
