Title: Not at all Sad
Review: I have to disagree with the other review. While Kiri is almost 63 she looks and sounds very well. I find the musical orchestrations of Karl Jenkins to be too much for the beautiful Guastavino songs having heard them sung by Kiri and others in recital. Not really the orchestra, but that chorus he uses. Some people don't like change and I know the "Opera fans" won't like this one as they didn't like "Maori Songs" etc. Not many recordings have surpassed "Maori Songs" in popularity, however. They went platinum after about 8 weeks. Not many recordings ever go that far..ever. While this is not destined to be one of my favorite recordings it is good.The Spanish is different in this recording because some of the words do not translate into English..because they are Argentinian Spanish which is as different from Spanish as Cuban Spanish, Puerto Rican Spanish..or even worse Catalan spoken in Barcelona.
Is the review positive or negative?
