GRACIAS SILVIO,
By Sergio Bernales (Lima, Perú) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Expedicion (Audio CD)
Realmente maravilloso, se deja escuchar de largo como lo era Al Final de este Viaje, puedes escuchar todo el repertorio y pensar que pasaron cinco minutos. Debe tener algo mágico de parte de "El Aprendiz de Brujo" pues mi hija de apenas dos años y medio goza con el disco y pide que lo toquen, especialmente, Totí. Simplemente MARAVILLOSO, ya no sorprende. Gracias Silvio.

A complete work of art,
By
This review is from: Expedicion (Audio CD)
Silvio Rodriguez proves once more to be one, if not the most innovative artist of the continent. In "Expedicion" he reaches back to some older, unreleased songs and gives them a royal treatment. The same goes for the new, elavorate offerings. This CD is beautifully orchestrated. The strings are abundant, the lyrics are always deeply thoughtful. (But then again, every Silvio album is). I highly recommend it.

1000 Estrellas,

This review is from: Expedicion (Audio CD)
He esperado este album con bastante ansiedad, y ahora que lo tengo basto escucharlo la 1ra vez para darme cuenta que esa espera valió la pena. Silvio nos sorprende con un trabajo totalmente innovador y diferente a la de sus últimas producciones. Se dió el lujo de escribir la música para toda la orquestación sinfónica que acompaña al album, sin duda alguna Silvio esta dentro de los músicos mas geniales de todo el mundo.Gracias Silvio por enriquecer mi vida con tu música y poesía.

Diferente pero excelente!,
By Maria Laura Fernandez (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Expedicion (Audio CD)
No cabe duda de que Silvio nunca dejara de sorprendernos y en esta Expedicion que hace nos lleva a un mundo diferente en donde podemos explorar su exquisita creatividad. Este disco es diferente a cualquiera que hizo antes, quizas no escucharemos la guitarra que tanto adoramos todos los silviofilos, pero no extranaremos su creatividad ni dejaremos de maravillarnos con sus letras. Particularmente me fascinaron La Mancha, Ese Hombre y Toti, pero cada cancion tiene una belleza unica que uno va descubriendo poco a poco. Estaba ansiosa por tener en mis manos este disco y se que valio la espera...

Expedicion not a revolution,
By A Customer
This review is from: Expedicion (Audio CD)
Being a fan of Silvio's guitar-based work, I should admit my prejudice upfront, which is that this is heavily orchestral production, signficiantly free of Silvio's guitar playing. Some songs would be stronger, one can tell, if a guitar (or any bassier intrument) were present to add some weight to the song structure. But in addition to this, Expedicion might not excite loyal listeners because there is a serious lack of revolutionary ideology in these songs. And as largely a collection of 'romantic songs' these lack the intimate feel and philosophical intelligence of his trademark work. Still, a very talented artist offering well crafted songs, if not watered down to reach, it would seem, a larger, less critical audience.

Silvio, Poeta.,
By Elpidio Pena (Lexington, Kentucky United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Expedicion (Audio CD)
Este album es maravilloso. Cada cancion es un poema. Los arreglos son diferentes a los albumes previos. Diferentes pero hermosos. Son arreglos sobrios, casi clasicos(en su mayoria), pero con un sabor del caribe. El tipo de cancion me recuerda a canciones como "Oh, Melancolia".Los topicos de las canciones son de temas universales. Me gusto mucho la cancion "Fronteras". Lo recomiendo, es el Silvio de siempre en su continua evolucion artistica.

Exquisite!!,

This review is from: Expedicion (Audio CD)
Owning ALL of Silvio's music I was anxious to get my hands on this one. I was not disappointed!! Once again Silvio proves to be a lyrical and musical genius. This album is so melodic, soothing and just beautiful. To me is like a painting, a beautiful painting that could not be put in a canvas and was put into sound. I know we are all used to his guitar strumming and his powerful lyrics. But in Expedición he goes to the more sublime.
Totí has to be my favorite song. Only he can take an endemic little black bird from his native Cuba and put into one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Ese hombre and La Mancha are also two excellent songs. I love this album entirely. Highly recommend it!!!

EXPEDICION HACIA EL CENTRO ....,
By
This review is from: Expedicion (Audio CD)
SILVIO RODRIGUEZ ES CUBANO...... NO ES EL ITALIANO PAVAROTTI, NI EL MEJICANO LUIS MIGUEL, PARA NUESTRA FORTUNA. ES EL MEJOR CRONISTA DE LOS PENSARES Y SENTIRES DE TODA LA AMERICA NUESTRA. TODA LA OBRA DISCOGRAFICA DE ESTE TROVADOR LATINOAMERICANO ES UN ROMPECABEZAS BIEN PENSADO Y SENTIDO DEL CUAL EXPEDICION ES UNA PIEZA QUE ENCAJA PERFECTAMENTE EN SU BITACORA DE VUELO. LOS NAUFRAGOS DE IDENTIDAD PUEDEN SEGUIR EL CAMINO TRAZADO POR SILVIO........ES GRATIS.

mmmmm.......great !!,but a little disappointed...,
By DAY SERRANO (MIAMI, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Expedicion (Audio CD)
I loved the design and the look of the album itself, just by looking at it when I got it, I got all excited but....when I played it....I don't know, the lyrics are great but there are some songs that the music just dosn't go with the song. Some of the old ones I reather just hear them in the old beat up versions from years ago. I guess he just wanted to experiment with new things and everything he does is fine with me but if you buy this album thinking is going to be your typical Silvio's you are up for a surprise.

naufrago,
By A Customer
This review is from: Expedicion (Audio CD)
Silvio Rodriguez no es Pavarotti, ni Luis Miguel. Su pequena voz combina mejor con una guitarra acustica que con un rabo de nube de violines. La portada es una cursillada que me recuerda al último vidioclip "Dreamer" de Ozzy Ozzborne. Que poeticos son los arlequines! |
