Title: KITCH!
Review: This is a spectacular recording, with an excellent choir and players.Well, this is the good side of this CD.The weak side is all the rest.First, Sosa is very far away from her zenith - though she still have some moments. In the original recording, made in the 60's, there were 3 soloists, each of them sang more beautifully than Sosa, and as a group of 3 it was much more interesting and exciting.Second, these 2 most beutifull pieces turn here to be on the verge of kitch - worser, on the verge of "world music"!The tempo that ricardo hagman choose is slow, so slow, but without any intrinsic reason, unless - and i suspect that this the truth - he wanted to sound very "spiritual"...I suggest to any one who wants to listen to the real thing to buy the original recording. For an exciting interpretation, search also the version by Enzo Gieco.
