5.0 out of 5 stars Songs you'll remember., February 13, 2007

It's worth noting that this recording is one of three disks nominated for vocal recording of the year by BBC Music Magazine.

When you hear the songs of Carlos Guastavino, you'll ask yourself why they are so rarely heard on classical radio stations in North America. They have that quality of inevitability that makes a song work the first time you hear it. They also have a melodic grace that makes you want to hear them again.

My thanks to WNYC in New York for introducing me to them!

5.0 out of 5 stars A very special album of some incredibly beautiful music., November 28, 2010

Even if you aren't especially interested in Latin music, do yourself a favor and check this out. Argentina is a special world of its own in Latin America, with strong European ties, and the Finks (brother and sister) are native Argentinians, despite their Slovenian name. They approach the music of their countrymen with affection and passion, and they have made a very special recording of some incredibly beautiful music. Guastavino's music is outstanding (there is another fine recording by Desirée Halac that includes a number of the songs on this album), but I've found the entire program to be haunting, soothing, and irresistible. I return to it often, and I would welcome a volume 2 from these fine artists.

Very classic in both counts lyrics and music, I was expecting something more contemporaneous.
