5 out of 5 stars Que Viva Zarzuela!!.......2006-11-10

Zarzuela is Spanish operetta. This is a fine collection of choruses and preludes from various famous Zarzuelas, particularly for a beginner in the genre. If however you have been "enrollado" in Zarzuela for a while it's a lot like popular classics or "Opera Goes to the Movies" It'll be stuff you've heard before. Maestro Roa knows how to conduct with finess and fire, whichever is required and the performances are easy to appreciate and very easy to understand the lyrics if you speak Spanish. I highly reccommend this disc to anyone who wants to take away the veil of mystery surrounding Zarzuela and start exploring on your own. This disc is an excellent place to begin!

4 out of 5 stars Preludes & Choruses From Zarzuelas.......2006-07-17

Preludes & Choruses From Zarzuelas~ Miguel Roa was something quite new to me. Having mostly listened to classical from France, Germany, Austria, Russia and Italy I had not listened much to Spanish composers. The end result is that the music is very easy to listen to but feels light and I feel that it sounds a bit to much like movie soundtrack music. The book-let is quite well done and the painting on the front is splendid. The liner notes and the essay inside are well done and it is not overlong or too verbose. I must say that I had never ever heard of any of these composers before and it was a with an adventurous spirit that I started listening to this recording and to my pleasant surprise it was quite good and I therefore give it 4 out 5 stars.

Great selections

5 out of 5 stars The Dance of the Lovers is Here!.......2003-09-07

For many years an ancient 78 of one of the items found on this welcome CD was the most requested item for playing on the national radio broadcaster in Australia. Requests for full details of the item always yielded an announcement that everything on the record label was printed in Spanish, that there was not much of it, and all that could be deciphered and translated approximated to "The Dance of the Lovers".

Well, the same item features on Track 13 of this CD in a digitally recorded 1999 Madrid recording, and full information is provided about it and the other zarzuela excerpts in notes by Manuel Garcia Franco. This once popular item on Australian airwaves is a simple verse and chorus, the first in the minor and the second in the major mode. Framed in a short introduction and coda, it is sung twice, and what the female chorus members sing the first time is sung by the male chorus members the second time, and vice versa.

Although the Spanish composers of the zarzuela excerpts included here are represented in my collections by solo items from singers such as Supervia and de los Angeles, the choruses and orchestral excerpts found on this CD are all new to my ears. I have never seen a zarzuela and, welcoming and recommending this collection of samples, would like to read reviews or communications from others with better information.

5 out of 5 stars ¡Olé!.......2003-02-26

I know almost nothing about zarzuelas, other than that they're Spanish light operas, immensely popular in Spanish-speaking areas and virtually unknown everywhere else. Why they didn't travel and Viennese operetta did, I'll never know; they're a heckuva lot more exciting!

If this disc is any indication, the music, the rhythm, the overall feeling of zarzuela music is infectious. I put this CD on and then couldn't stop listening to it. According to the liner notes, these orchestral selections and choruses are among the best-known from this genre. I can see why they're popular. The playing and singing of the Comunidad de Madrid Orchestra and Chorus are exemplary.

Now please excuse me, while I go sign up for castanet lessons.

5 out of 5 stars A gem from a master.......2005-10-15

On this records, Placido Domingo achieve one of the most refined homages to his musical roots, the zarzuela. He, having touched -and make us touch- some of the highest points of opera, put all his art and heart on the fourteen tracks of this CD. Pure art from a music not so well know outside the spanish-influenced word. A milestone.

5 out of 5 stars Best zarzuelas.......2002-02-09

The best zaruela collection I have ever heard. I recommend it to all great music lovers.

5 out of 5 stars Placido Domingo at his most sublime romantic performance........1999-06-27

This is a most to have, if you enjoy Placido Domingo's voice. Placido in this recording brings and interprets with great musicship the beauty of Zarzulas (Spanish light operas), to the world to enjoy. Placido Domingo is truly, the most perfessional tenor and conducter, of not just of our time, but perhaps ever! Bravo Maestro, que Vivas!

            4 out of 5 stars Carreras in passionate mode.......2001-10-10

            Recorded in 1994, this second album of Zarzuela arias features Carreras in good voice. It's not on a par with his first album of Zarzuelas, recorded back in 1977 for Philips, but there is plenty to enjoy here. The duet from El Gato Montes with soprano Isabel Rey has some exciting moments, and Carreras doesn't shrink from the high notes in this demanding piece.

            One of the few disappointments on the CD is No Puede Ser, an aria that Carreras has sung magnificently in concert. Here he sounds tired and strained. It's a great shame that Carreras never recorded this aria in his prime.

            The entire album abounds with High Bs and B Flats from Carreras, and in many instances Carreras sounds almost like the Jose of yore. He is never less than fully committed to his singing, something that his fellow tenors could learn from him. Not for Carreras is the bland technical approach of Pavarotti, nor the covered, nasal production favoured by Domingo. This is singing to remind listeners that Carreras was - and is - the vocal poet of his generation.

            If at all possible, seek out the earlier Zarzuela album. It's a classic. In the meantime, this is an excellent introduction to the passion of Jose Carreras.
