Dramatic!!!, June 17, 2004
This review is from: 30 Mejores Canciones (1964-97) (Audio CD)
If you like hyper-dramatic Spanish singers, this CD is for you. Raphael sets the standard for wretched musical excess. I love it! Thirty impassioned songs of passion, tears, and fiery lyrics. There's nothing subtle about Raphael. He belts them out like a bullfighter on speed.
One song I wish was here is his version of "Ave Maria' but there are plenty of other good ones -- "Digan lo que Digan," "Yo soy aquel," a so-so version of the great folk song "Llorona," "No me Puedo Quejar" and a passionate rendition of one of the most flamboyant songs ever written: "Malaguena." Most of the upbeat songs on this CD are turkeys, but there's enough good, slow songs to give it a top rating.
In English, Raphael would sound silly; in French he would sound pompous; in Spanish he sounds fabulous. Turn the volume up.
