Haunting, bewitching: a real must have
27 Nov 2003
Format:Audio CD
This record is exquisite in all its elements: the Voice of Graves -voice with a capital V!-, the selections, the arrangements! For me it would take hours to try to decipher its mystery of seduction. A real must for those who love poetry, music and the marriage of both. A real must for lovers of Latin American music. A real must for the senses.
The first time I listened to the cd, it gave a jolt.
A lot has been said about Graves. She's a wonderful mezzo, with that rich black timbre in her low notes and her lovely lyric high ones. And never mind the language, she knows how to create magic around her.
However, although she's supposed to be the main attraction here, to me the composers steal the show from her.
I've been listening to good music, from opera to streetside, for decades now. And I had never heard anything like Plancha or Plomada, by Guastavino. They're simply astounding.
The Cubans come out very well. Their songs are simply irressistible. They own the gift of melody and harmony. Soledad is unforgettable.
But what haunts me the most is Milonga sin palabras. What a piece of art!

Sensual, Spellbounding, and sheerly Sexy!!!
10 July 2006
Format:Audio CD
Denyce's warm and sensual Mezzo voice is truly spectacular when she sings the right rep. This latin album is literally right up her lane. She brings a dark color to the pieces that accentuates the text and the instrumentation. The singing is remarkably beautiful and the musicians play with an entrancing groove that makes you feel warm all over. I recommend just listening to this album while sitting outside in a park on a warm and sunny day. I believe that you will see the world completely differently. Way to go Denyce!!!

Superb collection of Latin songs
14 Sep 2009
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This CD contains so many beautiful songs. Denyce Graves has chosen them well, because they are perfect for her vocal range. There are some familiar composers (Heitor-Lobos, Piazzola) and some lesser-known (well to me anyway) but I felt like I had discovered the New World when listening to this CD. Yes, I was already a Denyce Graves fan, but I am fascinated by Latin music and loved her bold choices of music. The accompaniment varies from piano to piano + accordian (mandoleon) to full orchestration ... and even some "spoken word" by Ms. Graves on "Los Pajaros Perdidos" (my favorite song). Lovely, lush, dense and sultry!
