3.0 out of 5 stars A Mixed Bag, September 30, 2009

I purchased the Rhythms del Mundo: Cuba album a year back, and I loved it - I felt like the remixes were unique reinterpretations. With Classics, though, many of the remixes lack the creativity that defined the previous disc in the series. Too many songs are given the "Cuban treatment" of a Cuban percussion line and some horn accents and almost nothing more. This is further compounded by some badly chosen songs for certain artists that resulted in a few unflattering vocal performances.

Like previous reviewers, I will admit that amongst the mediocre songs there lie a few gems... Just maybe not enough to justify purchasing an entire album.

3.0 out of 5 stars not as good as the first album, December 21, 2009

Like several others I bought this because I had the first album.

It's not bad and I've got it rotating on my player but it's not as good.
I do like all the brass instrumentation. It's easy listening and rotates well.

This is a great CD when you want to listen to popular music but with a Latin/Tropical feel. You get the benefit of songs you know without they overpowering your conversation.
