5.0 out of 5 stars Color of Music, January 8, 2005

This review is from: Le Best of Cirque du Soleil (Audio CD)

Cirque du Soleil are revolutionaries in the performing arts world. They have stood up and presented something fresh and new to the world, the world loves them for it, as do I. Essentially, they basically mix together performing styles of all around the world and mix them with exciting new visions. The end product is a dazzling spectacle of circus, acrobatics, dancing, makeup, costumes, set, and lights. And of course, music. Though only the music is a poor substitute to actually seeing the shows, the composers have made a fantastic job of making sure the music can stand on its own. And not only stand on its own, but reflect the actual shows themselves through the music. While listening, you can almost see the complex makeup, and the flourishing colors. Indeed, one who knows nothing about Cirque du Soleil can certainly hear the colors of the music itself as expressed through instrumentation, harmony, pitch, melodys, and percussion. This is the best way to start listening to Cirque du Soleil. Simply buying one of their albums is great, but their shows are themed, thus there are a range of different sounds that you may not hear based on the fact you only have one album. This album combines their sounds into a rich mixture of tracks from their best shows. I reccommend this.

This review is from: Le Best of Cirque du Soleil (Audio CD)

I didn't buy this cd off of Amazon, at a Borders Store actually. But anyway this cd is absolutely amazing with a 14 selection of absolutely breathtaking performances and compositions from the world renowned Performance Show known as Cirque Du Soleil. With spellbounding varieties of music on this cd from the show. It's an absolutely worthy CD to buy. Hands down--you'll love it! Just buy it and hear it for yourself!

This review is from: The Best of Cirque De Soleil (Audio CD)

There are some stunning tracks on this cd and even though this is a best of cd i would further recommend the purchace of each individual show, such as Varekai or Alegria as there are some beautifully rich songs that the best of doesnt include.
If you like Cirque du Soleil your going to love this music if you dont i expect you wont.
Its not headbanging i would put it more into the easy listening bracket and yet some tracks have a pretty rocking up there tempo and very alive beat to them. Go on treat yourself.
