5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding! For the Un superficial listener, December 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Breaking of the Dawn (Audio CD)

I NEVER tire of listening to any of Fernando's CDs. I am truly amazed at the depth and insight of his songs. God is truly working in this talented musician. I am not an easy person to please when it comes to Christian music because of the shallowness/showiness that has flooded the Christian music market and its accomodation to secular standards. Fernando (like Michael Card) has not forgotten the love and passion he has for God. I used to think hymns were somewhat boring, although I've always loved the depth of the lyrics. Fernando's rendition of the classic hymns however has presented them in a contemporary manner without compromising the integrity and impact of their message. His smooth voice and beautiful piano arrangements have given me a renewed appreciation for them. I am also impressed with Fernando's courage and honesty in dealing with the subject of death, which the world does everything in its power to deny. His opening praise song is breathtaking and this whole CD has helped me deal with hard times in life. If you want PASSION in your music, you will find it here.

This is the 3rd album I have purchased by Fernando his music is deeply spiritual, honest and uplifting. My favorite song from this album is Jesus King of Angels. I end every day with this one. Buy it, you want be sorry, it would also make a wonderful Christmas gift, I have given copies of this and other albums to friends as gifts and every time I received a greatful thank you for introducing them to his music and they to have become devoted fans. I eagerly watch for his new selections and I am in search of the older ones. Wonderful music, extrodinary talent. When you hear his music you know it flows from his heart and soul and from a relationship with his God and deep love and devotion to his family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely the Best!, November 17, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Breaking of the Dawn (Audio CD)

Without a doubt, this is the most perfect and flawless album I have ever heard. With every listen, it seems to get better; with every listen I am more amazed.
In terms of sheer musical quality, this album is tops. Every note and nuance is perfectly planned out, every sound the exact needed to complement the mood; creating a type of sountrack to each story or praise. (With a musician list comprised of such names as Bob Somma, Cameron Stone, Stuart Duncan, Greg Leisz, John Andrew Schreiner, and of course, Fernando himself; it's no wonder).
Lyrically, this album is awesome. Not only excellent theologically, the verse also creates a rich tapestry of imagery that effectively transports the listener into its many scenes.
If you do not already own this album, buy it. It will be the best purchase you ever made.
